00:00
the nba playoffs continuing uh we have already looked at the western conference let's take a
00:14
look at what's going on out east now um let's start with the boston celtics against the orlando
00:19
magic this will be a quick breakdown as the two-seeded celtics take on the seventh seed
00:24
orlando magic who got in here by whooping that ass against the atlanta hawks in the play-in
00:29
uh orlando's defense is fantastic and it was on full display but this is a different animal when
00:34
you are talking about offensive basketball teams and orlando's offense isn't close to good enough
00:39
to keep up with this boston celtics crew so not great for uh for orlando i i don't see this being
00:47
overly competitive i think the celtics get it done and i think they get it done quickly with a uh a
00:52
sweep i have boston in four pacers bucks um pacers are the four seed bucks are the five seed going
01:01
into this series and uh again in-depth basketball analysis this all comes down to yannis i look i
01:09
love pascal siakam um you can see again the the quiet picture behind me i'm a raptors guy siakam's
01:14
my dude love that guy when he was in toronto but this is a tough matchup for him yannis has given him
01:20
quite a bit of problems specifically this season um there is a bit of a concern for milwaukee it did
01:26
seem like offensively some things were really starting to come together with lillard helping
01:30
kind of run the offense but he is out with blood clot issues so probably not going to play in this
01:34
series at all so that does hurt the offense so they need milwaukee needs someone to step up outside of
01:40
yannis lopez um has had some moments gary trent jr can be a bucket getter at times as well they just
01:46
need someone to step up there offensively yannis can come pretty damn close to carrying it on his
01:51
own the issue is is that this indiana team can put up numbers offensively when you're looking at
01:58
haliburton siakam um and then the other like um turner and all of them this is a team that can put
02:04
up a lot of points very very quickly on you and so that's where the other guys come in like yannis
02:08
there's there's a chance yannis averages 40 in this series and there's a chance that might not be
02:13
enough because of how much indiana can do on the offensive side of the basketball so i do think
02:19
that the depth pieces will step up for milwaukee enough that they'll be able to uh get that job done
02:25
so i i think the bucks probably take this one but it's a bit of a stay away on that front um so my
02:33
official prediction is just going to be bucks plus one and a half um because uh you still get not
02:39
the best odds but you still get decent odds on that one very intriguing series between the number
02:44
three knicks and the number six detroit pistons uh cade cunningham the breakout is real that is
02:51
easily one of the best predictions from the nba preview shows that we ran this year that uh cade
02:57
cunningham was going to have that breakout season and help carry the pistons into this playoffs i
03:01
actually underestimated it a little bit because i just had i think it was just make the playoffs and
03:05
finish exactly seventh i think i had them at and they finish here sixth and cade cunningham
03:10
was the reason why and he showed the knicks a lot of times why because he stepped up in some big ways
03:17
averaging 30.8 points 8.3 assists on 56.3 percent shooting from the floor against the knicks so that
03:25
like they are going to have to figure something out there um whether it like they start with an
03:31
and it'll be on him but then he hunts out the brunson matchup and and is able to to get that so
03:35
i don't know if you just don't switch or what do you do in those cases but that that is that is the
03:40
matchup that cade is looking for the matchup the knicks are going for is carl anthony towns against
03:45
the bigs of the detroit pistons um jalen duran and isaiah stewart they do the drop coverage thing and
03:52
carl anthony towns dines on that sort of a thing um towns this year shot 43 and a half percent
03:58
against the detroit pistons from three i again this is one where i think the knicks just have
04:04
too much talent i love this detroit team i love what um cade cunningham can do but i do think that
04:10
now that you're going to give tibbs an opportunity to really figure out how to limit some of the
04:15
problems that you may have with uh brunson getting switched on to a um a cade cunningham and i think
04:21
that um the tibbs and company are going to figure that out so i think this is going to be more
04:27
competitive than this prediction is going to suggest but i i got uh nixon 5 is is my prediction
04:33
for that one so that is your uh nba postseason preview here on couch potato diary uh keep it
04:42
locked here on couch potato for uh all your nba coverage throughout the postseason uh also i i
04:48
