This is how the NBA conference finals were after some wild playoffs

The last series of the conference semifinals was resolved and now we do have conference finals. In both the Eastern and Western Conferences, they even hit the bucket, but ultimately we have the four survivors of these fierce playoffs in the NBA And against all odds, the Lakers are in this phase.

And it is that at the beginning of the season, the Algerian team had something like a “pachanga”, a “blowout” or any other favorite term of the chavorrucos to refer to a “party”, well the Lakers were just that, a bunch of kiddos playing basketball with the highest average age in the NBAso that the Crypto.com Arena was something like an asylum.

However, in February the Lakers rejuvenated and strengthened themselves in an intelligent way and although they reached the playoffs the long way, that is, through the Play-In, they became the first franchise to reach a conference final since the Play-Inand waters with this team, because it comes with a devastating pace.

None of the four conference semifinals were decided in fewer than six games and the clash between the Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers needed all seven games, and finally the 76ers will be left wanting with everything and James Harden. This way, the two most winning teams in the NBA, Lakers and Boston, could collide in a hypothetical final if each prevails in their respective conference.

Eastern Conference Final: Celtics vs Heat

It was said that the champion of this conference would come from the winner of the clash between Boston and Philadelphia, but now Let no one rule out the Miami Heatwho reaches the final with less physical wear and tear.

Since 2020, Boston and Miami have starred in the Eastern Conference finals, barring 2021. In other words, these teams have met in three of the last four finals in the East and they have left a balance of one victory each, but in this 2023 the balance has to be recharged to one side. The series between Miami and Boston kicks off on Wednesday, May 17, in Boston.

Final Conference in the West: Nuggets vs Lakers

The defending champion, Golden State Warriors, left the crown in Los Angeles and the Lakers are going to face the Denver Nuggets, leaders in the regular season in the Wild West, and here too there are pending accounts.

The Lakers and Nuggets played the 2020 final, in the Orlando bubble, and the little angel team was the one that won and was ultimately champion. That is, how muchIn the East as in the West the 2020 finals are repeated. This series kicks off on Tuesday, May 16, in Denver.
