the never seen in the history of the NBA Playoffs

Ehe brilliant triumph of the Golden State Warriors en Sacramento, with that Stephen Curry festival that is already NBA history, qualified those from San Francisco for the second round. The current champions were the last to get on the van and with them, the NBA Playoffs experience something that has never been seen before in all of history.

The current format of 16 teams in the Playoffs dates from the 1983-84 season, that is, 39 years of the postseason as we know it. And for the first time in its history, the second round will have a team from each positionthat is, joining the two conferences we have from the number 1 (Denver) to number 8 (Miami), going through the entire spectrum without repeating. A curious and historical circumstance that demonstrates the equality that exists this season.

Number one is the Nuggets, who finished off the Timberwolves and already have an advantage in their series with the Suns; number two are Celtics that they dispatched the Hawks, 4-1, and without the Bucks they are the favorites in the East; number 3 are the Sixersthe only ones who won 4-0 (Nets), and the number 4 are the Sunswho defeated the Clippers in the first round.

The second half is led by number 5, the Knicks, which ended the hopes of the Cavs; the number 6, the Warriors that they defeated the Kings in seven games; number 7, those Lakers who seem to have revived while taking out the Grizzlies, and number 8, the Heat that triggered the Playoffs by throwing out the number 1 in the East, the Bucks.

And it is that we are facing a unique season. By how the classifications of both conferences have been formed, We have teams that were very low with many options to reach the Finals. Actually, any of the eight surviving teams can reach those NBA Finals, even the Heat, eighth because they entered via Play-In. They already dominate their series, 1-0, recovering the home court factor as they did with the Bucks. And the seventh of the West? It’s the Lakers. Does anyone dare to bet against them? With LeBron and Davis at full capacity, they are candidates for everything. That said, a unique situation probably in the entire history of the Playoffs.
