SBN Reacts polled NBA followers internationally to see who they had been selecting within the first spherical. Many of the outcomes shouldn’t shock anybody. Each the Celtics (97%) and Bucks (98%) are overwhelming favorites based on the polled followers. The Sixers and Nuggets aren’t that far behind.
See beneath for the complete outcomes and a few of my fast feedback.
Embiid may very nicely win MVP this season and the Nets simply don’t have sufficient star energy to make this a lot of a sequence. I wouldn’t be stunned in the event that they steal a few wins, however this must be a strong win for the Sixers.
Can the Celtics get a sweep? Will the Hawks steal a sport? I respect the Hawks offense however the Celtics are a foul matchup for them.
This one might be a fairly thrilling sequence. The Knicks are sneaky good at occasions, however the Cavs have been very strong all yr lengthy. They need to win this however it might be fascinating.
The Warriors have been there, executed that earlier than. They’re the basic flip-a-switch group. They’re going through the Kings who’ve …by no means been there earlier than (or so way back it virtually doesn’t depend). Then once more, the Kings have been elite offensively this season. Will they mild the beam within the postseason and ship the defending champs residence?
Effectively yeah.
Laborious to select both group popping out of the play-in to beat Joker and the Nuggets.
Beat L.A.! Beat L.A.! Beat L.A.!
This is able to be extra of a contest if Paul George was obtainable. With out him Kevin Durant goes to feast. I imply, he most likely would have anyway, however now even more-so.
Do you disagree with the outcomes? Any upset picks?
