With the NBA Playoffs officially kicking off this weekend, here are 10 things I think will happen during this year’s version of the playoffs
The NBA Playoffs are a few days away, the seeding and matchups are set. We’re ready to play ball.
And this time, it counts.
From early season predictions to NBA all-star selections, none of that remotely matters anymore.
