The NBA site has finally updated the schedule for all games on their official site. If there are no more changes then we can finally enjoy the playoff games this weekend. We can not be 100% that the games will commence on these dates, but maybe the third time is the charm?
How are the playoffs panning out?
Out of the six games scheduled for the weekend, there are still five first-round matchups in the mix. This weekend could very well change how the playoffs pan out. Moreover, there are many teams like the Blazers that are just hanging by the thread in the playoffs.
For Damian Lillard and the Blazers, the delay in games could help Lillard make a return to the NBA bubble and compete with the Lakers for a potential game 6.
On the other hand, the Clippers vs Mavericks are already fighting tooth and nail in this series. A prolonged break could halt the Clippers’ momentum and give Doncic and Porzingis time to recover from their respective injuries.
The Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors have already qualified for the second round. The two rivals will compete for the first game in the second round of the playoffs.
All things considered, as soon as the games begin the battle for the NBA title will get fiercer.
Will we finally get to watch our favorite teams in action this weekend? Or will there be any further delay? We will find out on Saturday night for sure.
