97% of NBA fans think the Celtics will beat the Hawks

SBN Reacts polled NBA followers the world over to see who they had been choosing within the first spherical. A lot of the outcomes shouldn’t shock anybody. Each the Celtics (97%) and Bucks (98%) are overwhelming favorites in keeping with the polled followers. The Sixers and Nuggets aren’t that far behind.

See under for the complete outcomes and a few of my fast feedback.

Embiid may very effectively win MVP this season and the Nets simply don’t have sufficient star energy to make this a lot of a sequence. I wouldn’t be stunned in the event that they steal a few wins, however this ought to be a stable win for the Sixers.

Can the Celtics get a sweep? Will the Hawks steal a recreation? I respect the Hawks offense however the Celtics are a nasty matchup for them.

This one might be a fairly thrilling sequence. The Knicks are sneaky good at instances, however the Cavs have been very stable all 12 months lengthy. They need to win this but it surely might be fascinating.

The Warriors have been there, accomplished that earlier than. They’re the basic flip-a-switch workforce. They’re going through the Kings who’ve …by no means been there earlier than (or so way back it nearly doesn’t rely). Then once more, the Kings have been elite offensively this season. Will they mild the beam within the postseason and ship the defending champs dwelling?

Properly yeah.

Laborious to choose both workforce popping out of the play-in to beat Joker and the Nuggets.

Beat L.A.! Beat L.A.! Beat L.A.!

This may be extra of a contest if Paul George was out there. With out him Kevin Durant goes to feast. I imply, he most likely would have anyway, however now even more-so.

Do you disagree with the outcomes? Any upset picks?
