NBA Playoffs Check-In: Most Likely Edition

It's been awhile since we checked in with the NBA Playoffs so let's do a pseudo preview two games into all of the series. 

Most Likely to Entertain: Oklahoma City-San Antonio - If this series ends in five, I would be stunned because these two teams are evenly matched. Both don't have an answer for the other. San Antonio's guards can't keep up with Russell Westbrook in company. Oklahoma City can't find a guy to put on LaMarcus Aldridge who is out of his goddamn mind. After the Game 2 fiasco, I'm interested to see how both teams respond in Game 3. I wouldn't be surprised if a blowout happen, but I'm thinking another close one.

Most Likely to Go Seven Games; Miami-Toronto - This is an old school playoff series from the early 2000's where you wouldn't have a lot of points, but you still get good games due to them all being close. The first two games went to overtime therefore it's a pretty easy assumption this could all the way to seven games. These teams are very evenly matched. DeMar DeRozan's free throws and Dwyane Wade's injuries are the current concerns.

Most Likely to Have a Superstar Missing: Portland-Golden State - I do believe the Warriors are doing the right thing by sitting Steph Curry, but that doesn't mean that we, the fan, aren't getting the best product. Golden State will probably take this five with Portland. This is a bad matchup for the Blazers whether Curry is on the court or not which is a bad sign.

Most Likely to End In a Sweep: Cleveland-Atlanta - How did we get here where Cleveland is beating everyone's ass into submission?  Cavaliers got hot at the right time and are on a whole another level than anyone left in the NBA Playoffs. I do believe Atlanta gets one at home, but I wouldn't be surprised if Cleveland goes 8-0. FU LeBron and FU Kyrie are a ton of fun. The chip on both their shoulders are huge.
