While the Los Angeles Lakers aren’t in the postseason, things have still been fun to watch. As the 2018 NBA Playoffs approach the two-week mark, the intensity of competition has skyrocketed, making this a great postseason so far.
Eventual Eastern Conference powerhouse, the Philadelphia 76ers, advanced to the second round defeating the Miami Heat, making the “City of Brotherly Love” and Allen Iverson proud in the process. The Western Conference saw the New Orleans Pelicans feasting on Portland in an upset sweep of the Trailblazers, sending them packing towards the Pacific Northwest to get an early start to the fishing season.
