The NBA playoffs are in full swing! The two teams that show their championship temperament are the real strong teams that can really fight tough battles!
The NBA playoffs are underway and are currently entering the third game of the second round. The scores in the second round are as follows:
- Cavaliers 1-2 Pacers
- Celtics 1-2 Knicks
- Thunder 1-2 Nuggets
- Timberwolves 2-1 Warriors
Although eight teams advanced in the first round, each team's promotion process is different, and their performance in the second round is also unique. So, which teams have more potential to win the championship?
Teams with championship appearance usually have the following characteristics:
First, they can fight tough battles at critical moments, win many games with close points, and show dominance on the road.
Secondly, the team needs to remain relatively stable. Stability does not mean that you cannot lose, but that you cannot be reversed with a big score lead.
Overall, the teams with the most championship appearance are the Nuggets and the Timberwolves.
In the Western Conference, although the Nuggets narrowly defeated 4-3 in the first round, this also reflects that the Clippers' strength cannot be underestimated. The Nuggets' championship is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. **Away Victory**: As of now, the Nuggets' away winning rate in the playoffs is 2 wins and 3 losses, and have won away games in both series.
2. **Performance at critical moments**: Nuggets performed well in several games with close points in 10 games. For example, the final kill in the first game of the first round, the buzzer-beating patch in the fourth game, the three-point kill in the first game of the second round, and the overtime victory in the third game of the second round. The only loss was the second game in the first round, and the opponent was defeated.
In the game close to the score, the Nuggets have a record of 4 wins and 1 losses.
3. **The lineup is stable**: The Nuggets' core players Jokic, Murray, Gordon and Porter are all the main players who have won the championship and are experienced.
In addition to the Nuggets, the Timberwolves are also underestimated. The Timberwolves easily defeated the Lakers 4-1 in the first round and won two of the three away games in the first round, with a high away win rate.
Despite being defeated by the Warriors in the first game of the second round, the Timberwolves quickly adjusted in the second game, equalizing the score and winning one away game. So far, the Timberwolves have only lost two games in the playoffs, and both of them have scored less than 90 points, indicating that they still have room for improvement on the offensive end.
Among the other two teams in the West, the Warriors have obvious problems. They were won by the Rockets in two consecutive games in the first round, and coupled with injuries, it is difficult to win the championship. Although the Thunder's record is the first in the regular season, their performance is not stable enough. The first round of the game against the Grizzlies was quite difficult. They were once 29 points behind and lost in overtime away in the second round.
In the East, the Cavaliers and Celtics performed disappointingly, both of which lost at home and faced a 0-2 dilemma. Especially the Celtics, who led 20 points in two consecutive games but was reversed, obviously missed the championship. Although the Pacers advanced 4-1 in the first round and currently led 2-1 in the second round, their overall performance was still not stable enough and they were defeated by the Cavaliers at home for 22 points. The Knicks' situation is similar.
In terms of performance, the Pacers and the Knicks exceeded expectations, but they were slightly understandard in lineup strength, and the Knicks performed quite well in key games.
In the first round, the Knicks defeated the Pistons 4-2, and they made a 21-0 climax in the fourth quarter to reverse the game. The third, fourth and sixth games all won by a slight advantage, with the difference between the points being within 3 points. In the second round, they led the Celtics 2-1, trailing 20 points in the first two games, and finally reversed the situation through the last-minute defense.
Overall, in 9 games, the Knicks passed a narrow victory in the last moment, and the other one lost at a critical moment. Their performance is similar to the Nuggets in the West, with a high winning rate in a stalemate.
The Knicks' advantage is that they include Brunson and Towns on the offensive end, while Harden, Bridges and Anunobi on the defensive end. At critical moments, every player on the team dares to take responsibility and contribute. The only hidden danger is injuries and physical fitness. If the Knicks can stay healthy, they will have great hope, but they are currently overly dependent on the main players.
Overall, the Nuggets and the Timberwolves are currently the teams with the most championship potential, while in the East, the Cavaliers and Celtics have stronger rosters, but the Pacers and Knicks are currently leading, which is indeed a bit contradictory. In the two sets of matches in the East, the odds of winning of the four teams may not be much different.
