Jesse Gonzales, Reporter

This years NBA Playoffs have been very very interesting this 2016-17 season as there has been a few series that have started off in a way that wasn’t expected, and some unexpected players to come through for their teams in clutch moments.

            The first series that has been very interesting is the Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls series. Going into the series the first place Boston Celtics were the favored team over the Chicago Bulls. But now, the Bulls have surprisingly took the 2-0 lead and the story has quickly changed. We will see how the series now finishes.

            Moving on to a very good evenly matched series, is the Jazz vs Clippers. This series has been very good. In game one, Joe Johnson made a clutch buzzer beater to beat the Clippers. Also in that game the talented big man from Utah, Rudy Gobert got injured and did not return. In the second game the Clippers played very explosive and came out with the win. Series is 1-1.

             On the not so good of a series side, is the Cavaliers and Pacers series, which Cleveland are the highly favored to win this series. In game three, the defending champions were down by twenty six, going into the second half but expected to make a comeback. The amazing team ended up making the clutch comeback and is now up 3-0 on the series.

      These three series seem to be the most exciting and popular out of this first round.The Cavs and Warriors are once again favored to make it to the NBA Finals once again.
