I can t imagine the Lakers first round of the game, and I can t imagine the Celtics Cavaliers lag behind 1-3 in the second round, who is the championship

On May 13, 2025, the NBA Eastern Conference semi-finals continued, and the Knicks played against the Celtics G4 at home. After four quarters of games, the Knicks finally defeated the Celtics 121-113, rewriting the series score to 3-1. The Knicks are only one step away from the Eastern Conference Final. As the champion of last season, the Celtics won 61 wins in the regular season, ranking second in the Eastern Conference and third in the league. Their double-Tanhua combination gave other teams a headache and was also one of the teams with the highest bid for the championship this season. Unexpectedly, they played like this with the Knicks in the second round.

Compared to the defeat in this game, what is even more unfortunate is that their star Tatum left the court with an injury without a confrontation at the last moment. Tatum's role in the Celtics is self-evident. In this game, he scored a game-high 42 points, plus 8 rebounds and 4 assists.

If Tatum cannot return in the next game, the Celtics are likely to be eliminated 4-1 by the Knicks.

In addition, the Cavaliers, the number one in the East, were also beaten 3-1 by the Pacers, and their star Mitchell was also injured, which looked very bad.

At this moment, many fans began to miss James. When James was in the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers were the Pacers' victims. They eliminated the Pacers many times in the playoffs, and beat the Pacers to doubt their lives. Now the feng shui turns, and Cavaliers fans have also tasted the taste of being eliminated.

Of course, James, whom Cavaliers fans missed, was eliminated 4-1 by the Timberwolves in the first round and went home early to fish. Thinking back to the beginning, when Doncic first joined, many Lakers fans began to look forward to the championship. Unexpectedly, the respected third in the West failed to pass the first round!

The teams that seem to have the highest call for championships are in trouble. Look at which team will win the championship this year?

Warriors? They don’t know if they can hold on until Curry returns. If they can play 2-2 with the Timberwolves today, Curry will still have a chance in the next game. If they get 1-3 today, then Curry will be useless when he comes back.

Thunder or Nuggets? They are fighting hand in hand, let’s talk about it if they can make a second round.

The east is even more difficult to predict. The Eastern Conference Finals are likely to be the Knicks and the Pacers, but who can rush out of the east can be predicted at all!
