The NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals
With the first round officially over, we can now set our attention on the second round of action where the No. 1 Seeded Cleveland Cavaliers just swept the Miami Heat in four games to now welcoming the No. 4 Seeded Indiana Pacers, fresh off dismantling the Milwaukee Bucks in five games. The Pacers have prevailed in their head-to-head meetings winning three of their four encounters throughout the season but truth be told, the Cavs have proven to be the most dominant team throughout the season playing levels above their competition. That said, both squads are coming in highly motivated and will definitely put their best foot forward come “Gametime”. One thing for sure is this Pacers team is not to be taken lightly so I expect a serious shootout in this series.
The No. 2 Seeded Defending Champions Boston Celtics stayed busy by dismantling the Orlando Magic in five games but awaiting them are the No. 3 Seeded New York Knicks who had a tougher time getting rid of the Detroit Pistons in six games. The Knicks got tested and pushed but eventually prevailed to move on. The way Jalen Brunson has been balling out in the first round and their squad following suit, the Celtics have a serious threat on their hands that will surely challenge them. I’m expecting a very interesting series with these two battling it out. That being said, the Celtics have been here before.
Tune in this Sunday May 4, 2025, for round two of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
