« A Must Win For The Warriors and The Nuggets » NBA Playoffs 2023 Conference Semis.
Date Published: May 8th
Introduction: With the Conference Semifinals undergoing in full strides the 2023 NBA playoffs are heating up. So far, superstars such as Giannis and Kawhi have already been eliminated, making these playoffs one of the most unpredictable while also showcasing emerging stars such as De’Aaron Fox and Jalen Brunson.
“Game 4 Lakers vs Warriors”
It’s simple: The Warriors will have to win game 4 or their season is over.
With the opponent being Lebron, they cannot possibly beat them 3 times in a row to steal the series if they lose this game. However, because Jordan Poole is a non factor while Kevon Looney is also battling sickness, they need Wiggins to give them 20 and 10 while the splash brothers do their thing to get a win. The chances of that happening is very slim. One hope for the Warriors is that AD becomes “Always Disappearing” as he quite often does.
My prediction: Warriors in 7.
“Game 5 Nuggets vs Suns”
The momentum of the series has completely shifted to the Suns favor as the Suns even the series despite being down 2-0 to start it. If the Nuggets were to lose game 5, Kevin Durant will no doubt have a 40 point game either in game 6 or 7 which will kill the Nuggets.
Because Devin Booker is so elite, the Nuggets should focus on doubling KD and concentrate on guarding the other roll players such as Shamet who killed them in Game 4.
My prediction: Nuggets in 7.
“Knicks vs Heat”

The problem for the Knicks have been the absence of a consistent second star, who can be reliable to Jalen Brunson who has shown that he can be a leader on a great team. Unfortunately, because nor is Julius Randle or RJ Barrett a superstar yet, they will lose to the Heat.
The Heat have the experienced Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry and coach Eric. That will be the difference in the series.
My prediction: Heat in 6
“Celtics vs Sixers”
Celtics were simply the better team, and with the lingering injury of Embiid, there is now no doubt about that.
We all know that James Harden has so far been magnificent when Embiid has been hurt, but when the moment is brightest, he will shrink into the turnover machine he has been.
Tatum and Brown will take care of Game 5 pretty easily with both scoring 25 plus, and finish off the series right there.
My prediction: Celtics in 6
