With the NBA playoffs conference finals set, The Crossover staff makes its predictions.
Michael Pina
WCF: Clippers over Suns in six
ECF: Hawks over Bucks in seven
I’ll start by saying even though the Clippers are down a game and don’t have their best player possibly for the entire series, what we saw in the WCF opener reminded me of how L.A. opened the first two rounds: The opponent’s best scorer (Luka Donu010diu0107 and Donovan Mitchell) went bananas against more traditional units before Ty Lue eventually settled into a tighter, smaller rotation that was able to switch and scramble on defense.
