And we’ve finally arrived.

The NBA playoffs are officially among us. After 82 games in the regular season, there are only 16 teams remaining, all with the same hope of hoisting the Larry O’Brien trophy in early-June.

We’ve seen historic NBA MVP-worthy seasons on behalf of James Harden and Stephen Curry, while getting the chance to continue to observe the excellence that the San Antonio Spurs and LeBron James have shown us time and time again.

From the gauntlet in the Western Conference bracket to the much weaker Eastern Conference matchups, the NBA playoffs never lets down.

With all eyes on LeBron and the Spurs, who have come accustomed to playoff success over the last few seasons, the likes of Curry, the Warriors, the Atlanta Hawks and the new-look Chicago Bulls will be looking to write their own playoff narratives.

It doesn’t get much better than this, people. And to get you a jumpstart on this weekend’s commencement, here is a 16-team playoff preview.
