To the Milwaukee Bucks, Toronto Raptors, Golden State Warriors, Denver Nuggets, Portland Trailblazers, Houston Rockets, Philadelphia 76ers, Utah Jazz, Boston Celtics, OKC Thunder, Indiana Pacers, San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Clippers, Brooklyn Nets, Orlando Magic, and the Detroit Pistons, congratulations on making it to the NBA Playoffs!

And congratulations to the Los Angeles Lakers for successfully tanking for Zion.

After the 82 game regular season we have finally arrived at the playoffs! Lots of things happened this year, including Wade and Dirk playing for the last time on an NBA Court, LeBron failing to make the playoffs after a 14 year streak with 8 consecutive Finals appearances, and the discovery that the basketball does not give falsehoods.

Here is the playoff bracket, and below is the start times/TV schedule for every game of the first round.

And here is a survey to vote for our prestigious NBA thread awards: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KHXM6H7

Something more special was going to be made for this, however due to unforseen circumstances it could not be finished in time.

Who do you think will make it out of each round and on? Who will be embarrassed the most?

And feel free to post your resumes in here to apply to become a Monstar in Space Jam 2, I heard they've been having some trouble finding stars to be in it.

Also, post here your rankings for All NBA etc, I'll count up the points by hand and release our rankings later.

The East should be really exciting this year at least. I have no idea who will come out on top.

As the official representative of the Los Angeles Lakers and one of the many children of former president of operations for the same i gratefully accept your thanks along with Zion.

Zion is Kemp 2.0 and I expect him to help us reclaim glory in the near future.

For the playoffs, go Eastern Conference. Arise Giannis Prime.

How do you have two Sixth Man candidates on the same team? Doesn't one, by default, have to be the Seventh Man?

Every team has injuries. Dude had a roster that won 59 games or so last year, and he upgraded Derozan to Kawhi and also had MIP Pascal Siakim and Danny Green.

Coach Bud deserves COTY.

Excited for the Magic to be back in the playoffs! Wished we'd gotten up to the 6 spot as I'd like our chances against the 76ers better than the Raptors, but great to be back in any case!

Yeah with Embiid not being fully healthy there was a chance

I'll settle for just 1 win against Toronto honestly. Just don't get swept please

3 of the 4 West series are a toss up. I can't believe Houston plummeted to the 4 seed. The East should be chalk unless Embiid gets hurt or the Pacers get lucky. Crossing my fingers for a Kyrie meltdown!

Do people think that Marcus Smart being out actually gives the Pacers a chance to win? Or does it just prolong the series, with the Celtics still winning in ~6?

Those Eastern first round matchups are a yawnfest. West looking great again though. Can't wait to spend some late nights with Charles and Shaq Gone Fishin'.

Between the Lakers, the Kings, and the Suns (who just confirmed James Jones as full GM) it's been a rough couple days for the league's worst owners.
