The first round of the playoffs this season is about to end, and the second round will start soon. The best performance in the first round of the playoffs is undoubtedly the three teams with the best regular season record and have won more than 60 wins. The Thunder, the Cavaliers and the Celtics not only successfully broke through the first round, but the Thunder and the Cavaliers also completed the sweep, and the Celtics only lost one game.

Not only that, the three teams had very high net losses in the first round of the series, the Cavaliers had 122 points in the Heat, the Thunder had 78 points in the Grizzlies, and the Celtics also had 64 points in the Magic, which combined with a total net victory of 264 points. It can be seen that these three teams are indeed quite strong this season, far above other teams. Of course, this is also because their opponents in the first round are relatively weak, so they won so easily.

The Cavaliers' series against the Heat is the most exaggerated. Not only did the Cavaliers accomplish very few, but they also had big wins in each game. The last two games were net-winning 37 points and 55 points respectively, almost breaking the maximum score difference record of the playoffs held by the 58 tragedy. On average, the Cavaliers' net win reached 30 points in each game, which means that the strength of the two teams is completely incompatible.

The score difference between the Thunder and the Grizzlies in this round of series is also very large, especially in the first game, the Thunder's net victory was as high as 51 points, which is also ranked first in playoff history. However, the gap in strength between the two sides is not that big in this kind of series. In the third game, the Grizzlies also led the Thunder by 29 points at most, but due to Morant's injury, the Grizzlies suffered a big reversal, so they were finally swept by the Thunder. If Morant is not injured, both sides may still have to fight the Battle of Tianwang Mountain. There was basically no suspense in the series between the Celtics and the Magic. He suffered an injury in Tatum and missed the second game. Holiday only played the first two games, so the Celtics were not in the entire lineup, but they still easily defeated the Magic. Originally, the Celtics could also sweep the Magic, but the third attack was abnormal and he lost to the Magic by a difference of two points.

Because the first round was very easy to win, the Thunder, the Cavaliers and the Celtics were waiting for their time in the second round. The Cavaliers would play against the Pacers in the second round, and the Celtics would play against the Knicks in the second round. The second round opponent of the Thunder will be the winner between the Clippers and the Nuggets. The Clippers and the Nuggets will have to fight the seventh battle, and the winner will immediately fight with the Thunder.

Thunder, Cavaliers, and Celtics are the three strongest teams this season, and they are all favorites to win the championship. Judging from the performance in the first round, it is very likely that the championship of this season will be the three teams. However, the Cavaliers and the Celtics are in the East, and the two sides are likely to meet in the Eastern Conference Finals. In the end, only one team can reach the finals, while the Thunder are likely to rush out of the West.
