All the top four NBA playoffs were born! The traditional super giants were wiped out, and there is no suspense to the championship?

With the Nuggets defeating the Thunder with a 35-point defeat and being eliminated from a big score of 3-4, all the semi-finals of the NBA playoffs this year were born, namely the Timberwolves, Thunder, Knicks, and Pacers. Among these four teams, the Knicks won the championship, and that has been a very long time since 1973, more than 50 years ago. The Pacers and the Timberwolves both reached the division final last year, and the last time the Thunder entered the Western Conference Finals was 9 years ago in 2016. Durant and Westbrook worked together. That season also carved the precious memories of countless old fans. The Warriors won the first place in the regular season 73 wins, the Cavaliers' Finals' 1-3 reversal, Kobe Duncan retired, and Gordon and Lavine had an unprecedented dunk contest. Of course, it was also that year after the Thunder were eliminated by the Warriors that Durant joined and joined the Golden State Warriors, and the Universe Warriors was officially born.

And this year's playoffs, with the Nuggets being eliminated, the traditional superstars were wiped out, and Westbrook became the old-school star who had been persisting for the longest, and he still missed the first championship in his personal career. Westbrook's performance was already impressive enough in this playoffs. If he had not played against the Clippers in the first round, the Nuggets would have gone home to fish. With the Clippers' G1, Westbrook hit a tied three-pointer to lead the team into overtime, and ended the game with a fatal steal in the last attack of overtime. With the Clippers' G4, Westbrook made 8 of 15 shots and scored 21 points in full swing. With the Clippers G7, Westbrook scored 5 steals in a single game and killed all sides. However, in the second round facing the Thunder, Westbrook's condition began to decline, and his efficiency became less effective. Of course, he cannot be blamed for this, after all, Westbrook is just a basic salary player now.

In fact, there are still so many old-school stars in the NBA that are still playing, which is already a miracle. The same career as Westbrook is not a winner, including Paul of the Spurs, George of the 76ers, and Harden of the Clippers. Among them, Paul has long become a role player. After all, Paul is already 40 years old and is almost at the age of retirement. He has no desires in the later stage of his career. Joining the Spurs is mainly to assist young stars, and it is difficult to compete for the championship again. George has made a huge regression this season. After winning the big contract, he has no intention of being on the court. After finishing this contract, he will announce his retirement. George's 76ers seem to have good books, but in fact they are a soft persimmon. They only won 24 wins and 58 losses this year, and they can't see the shadow of the playoffs.

And Harden is indeed a pity this season. This year is the year with Harden's most promising championship. The Clippers rarely stayed healthy at one time. After Xiao Ka's return quickly, his condition also recovered strongly. Unfortunately, Harden himself failed to win and played a disaster-level series. In the end, they lost to the Nuggets in the first round of the game. In addition to the traditional super giants mentioned above, the more famous ones are the third emperor of Zhan Duku, who are also the top three superstars among active NBA players in the top three of their personal honors. However, Durant stopped in the regular season this year, James stopped in the first round, and Curry stopped in the second round. Although the three did not fall from the altar and still had the strength to be the absolute core of a team, their personal abilities are indeed not as good as their peak period, especially in leading the team, it is difficult to make a breakthrough in the playoffs, and the league has arrived in a brand new era.

NBA playoffs! All the top 4 were born, and the traditional super giant was wiped out! There is no suspense to the championship. So who has the best chance of winning the championship for the team that has entered the NBA semifinals this year? On the surface, they all seem to have opportunities, especially the two teams in the Eastern Conference Finals, each of which is very resilient. The Pacers are the biggest dark horses this season. They are in the small ball market, have no popularity or traffic, and have no MVP-level superstars, but they can enter the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive years. In this year's playoffs, the Pacers completed two finals, and completed a super big reversal of 7 points within the last minute. The key ball ability is quite powerful. The Knicks are even more resilient. They almost relied on the starting five players and persisted until now. They eliminated the defending champion in the second round, and completed a 20-point reversal in two consecutive games.

But in my opinion, the championship is likely to be the Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves are the final winner. The Timberwolves have played the most relaxed since the playoffs. They swept their opponents 4-1 in two consecutive rounds. Their lineup structure is not at all inferior to the Thunder. There are many forward players and the average size is enough. They are also a team with very strong defense. Randall is unstoppable in the playoffs this year and has strong independent offensive ability. More importantly, as one of the toughest stars in the current playoffs, Edwards' performance is probably going to crush Alexander. Edwards does not rely on free throws to score. He has super athletic ability and has a stable three-point shooting. During the regular season, Edwards' three-point output reached the highest in the league. Although the Thunder are very dominant in the regular season, they probably can't beat the Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals. What do you think?
