8-0 not Enough to Receive Playoff Berth

The Phoenix Suns wrapped up their bubble show with another astiunding win against the Dallas Mavericks 128-102. This tallied their win total to 8-0 in the bubble.

However, this was not enough for the Suns, to secure a playoff spot, nevertheless a playin game invite.

 

Fans were all looking forward to a play-in game this Saturday between the Phoenix Suns and Portland Trail Blazers, two teams that have been electrifying in the bubble.  

Unfortunately, the Memphis Grizzlies came into the bubble with a 3.5 game lead for the 8 seed. The Memphis Grizzlies struggled immensely in the bubble with a record of 2-6, but was able to pull off a win last night against the Milwaukee Bucks 119-106. The Grizzlies have struggled with injuries, the major one being with young promising star Jaren Jackson, Jr.

Devin Booker has filled up the stat sheet in the bubble he has averaged 30.3 points per game,  six assists per game, and 3.8 rebounds per game. He has unequivocally put the Phoneix Suns on his back.

In my opinion, since the Grizzlies and Suns had the same record the fans should have voted on who gets the last play-in spot since this is the first time we ever had a play-in game in NBA history. 

The NBA should keep the play-in game format for seasons to come when everything returns to normal, I feel like it brings more engagement and excitement to the NBA. 

In the end the future is bright in Phoenix, if they build from the momentum they created in the bubble barring any big offseason trades.

Toronto Raptors vs. the Golden State Warriors 2019 NBA Finals Preview

Tonight will start game one of the 2019 NBA Finals between Toronto Raptors vs the Golden State Warriors.

This might end up being one of the most lopsided NBA Finals were about to watch.

Toronto Raptors superstar Kawhi Leonard averaged 31 points and 8 rebounds throughout the playoffs, but will he be able to match that performance when he will more than likely have to chase Steph Curry around screens. Also, Golden State has a plethora of defenders to guard Kawhi, such as Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, and possibly Kevin Durant if he plays.

A key factor to the Raptors even making this a respectable series, is which Kyle Lowry and Marc Gasol will show up? Both players have been up and down throughout the playoffs, but as of late have shown up in big moments. If they don’t get star struck and show up this s could possibly be an interesting series.

Also, Fred VanVleet and Norman Powell must play well as they did in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Basically, the Toronto Raptors team has to play perfectly in order to have a shot of beating the Golden State Warriors.

The Golden State Warriors come into the NBA Finals banged up, but that really hasn’t affected them throughout the playoffs. There’s a reason why this team has gone to five straight Finals, they have gone through each adversity and persevered through it. 

There are rumors that DeMarcus Cousins will play tonight in game one, if that’s true it could be a long series for the Toronto Raptors. 

Steph Curry has been averaging 27 points per game, six rebounds per game, and five assists per game.

Klay Thompson has averaged 19 points per game and 1.5 steals per game.

Kevin Durant who’s still questionable to play in the finals is averaging 34 points per game.

I have the Golden State Warriors winning 4-1 against the Toronto Raptors. Comment below or mention us on Twitter @blogaccess1on1, to let us know who you think will win the 2019 NBA Finals.
