As the NBA nevertheless approaches the final, it is prudent to choose teams for all games.
A mix of individual production, good team fortune and player progression in the playoffs helped who landed on each team. While Donovan Mitchell seemed the most productive player in the playoffs in the first round, the fact that Utah Jazz did not advance damaged his first round. team case.
As in the Normal Season All-NBA teams, the groups will consist of two bases, two forwards and one center. Some players would probably be eligible for positions, but we’ll use the put where they spent the most time in the bubble.
The last 4 groups until soon two are all-NBA playoff groups.
Game-consistent playoff stats: 16. 9 points, 11. 4 rebounds, 1. 4 plugs, 64. 9% shooting, 38. 6 minutes, plus-3. 7
Team record: 3-4
Rudy Gobert’s Jazz lasted only one round, however, the two-time defensive player of the productive year in his seven games.
Before betting on Friday, the 28-year-old, sixth among all postseason and fourth-round rebound players in blocks consistent with the game, changed nearly 65% of his shots, hitting him in first place among those who had at least 50 positioning attempts.
The average duration of 7. 1″ and window cleaning helped keep Nikola Jokic offstage from the Denver Nuggets, while Jokic had 8. 1 rebounds consistent with the game opposing Utah before jumping to 13. 4 in seven games opposed to the Los Angeles Clipconsist withents.
After recording a negative on/off score in his first 3 years in the playoffs, Gobert over-8. 6 this time.
Game-consistent playoff stats: 21. 5 points, 7. 4 rebounds, 1. 4 steals, 46. 9% shooting, 39. 5 minutes, plus-4. 0
Team record: 10-6 (and counting)
While Jayson Tatum properly covered most headlines in Boston, Brown played an important role in leading the Celtics to the East Conference finals.
Brown surpassed Kemba Walker as the team’s second-leading scorer, and the 23-year-old adulthood and leadership of a 15-year-old veterinarian.
After averaging 13. 9 playoff issues in 2019, Brown now averages more than players such as Jimmy Butler, Paul George and Russell Westbrook.
With Gordon Hayward entering and leaving the injury lineup, Brown had to transfer between positions while protecting several locations. His 23 steals in this playoff took fourth place overall.
Game-consistent playoff stats: 26. 7 points, 13. 8 rebounds, 5. 7 assists, 55. 9% shooting, 30. 8 minutes, plus-3. 0
Team record: 5-5
The second round of the Milwaukee Bucks comes out and an ankle injury keeps Giannis Antetokounmpo in the third team, even though he dominated the Orlando Magic in the first round.
The two-time MVP had 30. 6 points, 16. 0 rebounds, 6. 0 assists and 59. 0% of the box in the convention quarter-finals, sounding like the top dominant player in the league. However, playing against the Miami Heat at the time of entry returned him to earth. , with Jimmy Butler, Jae Crowder and Bam Adebayo all making their component to restrict their production.
While top players would be satisfied with an average of 21. 8 points, 11. 0 rebounds and 5. 3 assists consistent with the game, the Bucks have more than their star in the round of the moment.
Antetokounmpo deserves to be identified by his surprising numbers (and his usage rate of 33. 9% in fourth place), however, his team’s semi-final defeat leaves him in the third team.
Game-consistent playoff stats: 29. 6 points, 5. 6 rebounds, 7. 7 assists, 47. 8% shooting, 37. 3 minutes, plus 2. 7
Team record: 5-7
James Harden has led all players at the time and has placed fourth overall for the playoffs thus far, yet the Rockets ended their year with a gentlemanly sweep at the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Harden’s score actually dropped the playoffs (34. 3 issues consistent with the normal season game), an unforeseen turn, especially with Russell Westbrook without 4 games due to injury.
After Luguentz Dort of the Oklahoma City Thunder did an admirable defensive task opposite him in the first round, Harden played three fake games against the Lakers before settling for 2 out of 11 in Game 4, however, his individual defense was pretty good. , and his game was about.
Houston needed more Harden opposed to L. A. , but the 2017-18 NBA MVP remains one of the most productive players in the bubble.
Game-consistent playoff stats: 31. 0 points, 9. 8 rebounds, 8. 7 assists, 50. 0% shooting, 35. 8 minutes, minus-6. 3
Team record: 2-4
Smart news? Luka Doncic probably the most productive player at the time of the first round.
The bad news? We never had a chance to see what I could do after that.
Debuting in the NBA playoffs at the age of 21, Doncic ruled the most sensible defenders of the Los Angeles Clippers, averaging nearly a triple-double and dressing a Mavericks team that lost Kristaps Porzingis to a questionable ejection in the first game and then a knee. injury.
Luka’s functionality in Game four of four3 points, 17 rebounds and thirteen assists is arguably the most productive playoff functionality to date, especially with his overtime winning shot matching the series.
Doncic ranks in terms of score and usage rate (36. 5%) in the playoffs, and I’d be in the first or the team if the Mavericks had passed the first round.
Game-consistent playoff stats: 17. 5 points, 11. 2 rebounds, 4. 9 assists, 55. 6% shooting, 36. 6 minutes, plus-6. 4
Team record: 11-3 (and counting)
While Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro and Goran Dragic took turns at miami highlights, Bam Adebayo was the glue to keep the team together.
Adebayo, one of the DEFENDERs of the NBA, presented his full playoff game, leading Miami in rebounds, assists and blockades at age 23, leading his war parts through 89 tracks in 513 minutes with him on the ground.
While pívots such as Joel Embiid, Nikola Vucevic and Kristaps Porzingis have higher score averages, Adebayo’s overall play and Heat’s good fortune make him the second best big guy in the bubble.
Game-consistent playoff stats: 28. 2 points, 9. 3 rebounds, 2. 3 steals, 48. 9% shooting, 39. 3 minutes, plus-1. 9
Team record: 7-6
Leonard looked like the Bubble’s Most Valuable Player with the Consistent Clip holding a 3-1 lead over the Denver Nuggets in the moment round, averaged 29. 2 points consistent with the game at 51. 5% of shots, reducing almost double-digit rebounds and appearing. enough play skills to lead LA to the final. Even his 36-point effort in a fifth-game defeat helped remind everyone who the protective MVP of the final was.
Unfortunately, Leonard averaged 19. 5 points in 35. 0% of shots in the last two Clippers games. Being goalless in the final quarter of Game 7 hurt, while Jamal Murray beat Leonard to place Denver in the Western Conference final.
While his team’s result was disappointing, Leonard was brilliant for much of the playoffs, especially with Paul George in distress.
Leonard’s average score is sixth overall, and he is tied with Robert Covington in terms of maximum steals (30) among postseason players.
Game-consistent playoff stats: 25. 8 points, 10. 2 rebounds, 4. 6 assists, 44. 2% field, 40. 4 minutes, plus-6. 4
Team record: 10-6 (and counting)
Tatum made a solid case for a first-team place in the playoffs and would probably be there if his Celtics were the ones leading the Finals of the Miami Heat East Conference.
Tatum is the player who still has an average of at least 25 problems and 10 rebounds consistent with the game, and nearly beat Kemba Walker as the Celtics’ leading gunningman.
The 22-year-old striker did a little bit of everything for Boston in his first sweep of the Philadelphia 76ers and then opposed the Toronto Raptors and now Miami, and we’re getting our first genuine dose of Tatum as a genuine number one choice. on a team that can win a final.
Although he disappeared (zero problems in the first part of the fourth game against Miami), he also seemed unstoppable to others (28 problems in the part of the moment). He scored 31 problems, the personal record, in Friday’s win over Heat, which kept the C’s alive in the playoffs.
Even with a lot on Celtics, Tatum has a higher usage rate (27. 6%) of players such as Jamal Murray, Jimmy Butler and Pascal Siakam in the playoffs.
Game-consistent playoff stats: 21. 4 points, 4. 3 rebounds, 4. 5 assists, 45. 6% shooting, 34. 9 minutes, plus-6. 2
Team record: 11-3 (and counting)
Perhaps the most unexpected player on this list, Goran Dragic has surely been fantastic as Miami’s starting goalkeeper.
The 34-year-old leads heat in scores, more than five issues consistent with the game’s regular-season average. He took Jimmy Butler’s certainty as scorer and ball manager, and makes sure to feed his hand when players like Duncan Robinson and Tyler Herro.
Although Dragic does not have the total number of Luka Doncic or James Harden, his net score of more than 7. 5 ranks third among guards LeBron James and Marcus Smart, and Miami is tied with the Lakers for the most productive winning percentage among the playoff teams.
With rookie star Kendrick Nunn coming in and out of the rotation, Dragic helped bring the Heat as his ground general.
Game-consistent playoff stats: 36. 3 points, 5. 0 rebounds, 4. 9 assists, 52. 9% shooting, 37. 7 minutes, plus-5. 4
Team record: 3-4
A player whose team lost in the first circular deserves a place in the team for now in the playoffs?Absolutely, as long as that player is Donovan Mitchell.
No one nearly reached the 24-year-old’s playoff average, while Mitchell played two 50-point games against the Nuggets in the first round. He led Utah to a 3-1 lead without his top scorer at the moment against Bojan Bogdanovic, and no player has worked so much in the playoff area (37%).
Mitchell posted a ridiculously true 69. 6 percentage in his seven games, hitting 51. 6% of his 3s.
Although its functionality was not enough in the end, Mitchell still deserved a place on the team at the moment as the most productive player in the first round.
Game-consistent playoff stats: 24. 7 points, 10. 0 rebounds, 5. 8 assists, 51. 7% shooting, 36. 9 minutes, minus 0. 7
Team record: 9-9 (and counting)
Jamal Murray has been the story of the Nuggets in the playoffs, but in no way would Denver have reached the Western Conference finals without Jokic.
Antetokounmpo is the only other player to average at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and five assists consistent with the game in the playoffs, figures that Jokic results in little effort. His pin game helped Denver succeed in an offensive score of 112. 9, as it helps keep defenses separate and prevents them from collapsing over Murray.
What can hold Jokic back now is fatigue. The 25-year-old was scoreless for the fourth consecutive quarter against the Los Angeles Lakers.
While a 3-1 gap is something the Nuggets have already triumphed in the playoffs twice, they’ll want more Jokic at the end of the games to continue their playoff magic.
Game-consistent playoff stats: 28. 9 points, 9. 6 rebounds, 1. 2 plugs, 57. 6% shooting, 36. 1 minutes, plus-9. 7
Team record: 11-3 (and counting)
Anthony Davis would probably not be the most valuable player on his own team, however, his remarkable playoff functionality is precisely why the Lakers eliminated three young players and several first-round selections for him.
Able to dominate a game on both sides of the field, Davis was nevertheless given his playoff moment with a three-point game winning in Game 2 against the Nuggets to put Los Angeles ahead 2-0 at the time.
Davis is the leader among all active scorers in the playoffs, with an average of 28. 9 problems consistent with the game falling to the fifth in the No Player bubble, not even LeBron James, has an upconsistent with net score (plus-13. 1) or more/less (plus 9. 7) than Davis.
Following in the footsteps of Shaquille O’Neal, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and other Lakers legends, Davis has established hesed as one of the team’s all-time playoff players.
Game-consistent playoff stats: 20. 6 points, 6. 0 rebounds, 1. 9 interceptions, 46. 1% shot, 36. 4 minutes, plus-3. 9
Team record: 11-3 (and counting)
Jimmy Butler kept Jayson Tatum at bay for first-team honors, even though his production did not fit that of Celtics star.
But you can’t miss an 11-3 record, nor can the dismantling of the No. 1-seeded Milwaukee Bucks in the round at the moment. win over Milwaukee) while let others take over.
Not that Miami has followed a tough, defensive, fearless attitude, an attitude Butler has shown for years and now has the Heat at the break point of the NBA Finals.
The Heat outpervised its conflicting parts through 55 issues with Butler on the court in the playoffs, and the most productive protective and defensive player of his NBA of the year, Giannis Antetokounmpo, anything that almost everyone coming out of Miami’s locker room didn’t see coming.
Game-consistent playoff stats: 25. 9 points, 9. 9 rebounds, 8. 8 assists, 54. 1% shooting, 34. 7 minutes, plus-8. 4
Team record: 11-3 (and counting)
LeBron James did not win the normal-season MVP, however, he can easily end up with another MVP trophy when the Lakers’ praise is over.
James, one of two players close to a triple-double average, once returned, ruled all aspects of the game at age 35, and the Lakers used it to engage Jamal Murray at the end of the games. the ultimate convention series supports the Nuggets.
The Lakers have an offensive score of 115. 8 with James on the ground, and their net score (plus-12. 3) is time for teammate Anthony Davis.
With L. A. in just one game of the final, James could soon make his tenth appearance in the championship, a mark that would tie him with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the third all-time number.
Game-consistent playoff stats: 26. 9 points, 4. 9 rebounds, 6. 6 assists, 51. 0% shooting, 39. 4 minutes, plus-1. 1
Team record: 9-9 (and counting)
Murray has been arguably the most impressive player in the playoffs, going from being an 18. 5-point scorer in the regular season consistent with the game to one who has already lost 40 or more in the playoffs.
The star archer demonstrates his ability to score at all levels, from stunts on the edge to a brilliant score of 46. 6% out of three. He’s faced some of the league’s defenders (Kawhi Leonard, LeBron James, Patrick Beverley, Paul George). in the past two rounds and has still posted numbers, showing few signs of fatigue 18 games after his season.
Murray is also eighth overall in bubble assists, and his 39. 4-minute average consistent with the game is fifth.
As the Nuggets leave their third 3-1 hole, Murray has already established the team star who deserves a place in the first team of the playoffs.
