NBA East, West Conference Finals are all set

by RepublicAsia

Which team will battle for the NBA 2024 championship ring as East and West Conference Finals are all set after weeks of contending for their corresponding finals spots.

For Eastern conference finals, Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers will compete, this is after Celtics clinched against Cleveland Cavaliers in game 5, and Indiana Pacers took over the home court of New York Knicks in game 7.

Meanwhile, for Western finals, the anticipated match of Dallas Mavericks versus Minnesota Timberwolves is in fans’ expectation and will surely catch everyone’s attention. Mavs stole the spot of the West’s first seed, Oklahoma Thunders in 4-2, while Wolves spoiled Nikola Jokic this year’s MVP award as Nuggets fell short in game 7.

As all teams starve for the championship ring, and even though all of them deserve to win, only one strong-standing will have to make it through.

Which team do fans fave to be the champ?

Fans are debating online who’s their best team for the championship. Some say that the Mavs will dominate the league, with the advantage of Luka Luka Dončić and  Kyrie Irving tandem. If so, this is the team’s first NBA championship appearance since 2011. This would also be the first time Irving had made it to the finals after a heart-wrenching downfall from Brooklyn Nets last series.

Remember the time when Patrick Beverly got emotional when Wolves made it to the playoffs in 2022? Well, they had a chance but fell off immediately against the Memphis Grizzlies in game 6. Well, fast forward to this year as the team is one of the  strongest to fight the odds and now will face Mavs for the conference finals. Fans are eyeing the Wolves as the team wasn’t able to win a championship as well ever since.

Will it be the Pacers? What a historic event when they won this year’s championship since their last NBA Finals appearance in 2000, and they never were able to achieve a ring. Fans are also looking forward to the manpower of Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam who forcefully contended against Bucks’ Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton before shooting down Jalen Brunson of Knicks.

Now no. 1 seed in the East, Boston Celtics is being predicted that the team will win against Pacers in game 6 after their harsh defeat of Cavaliers with 4-1 standing. Celtics most recent title was in 2008 after defeating Atlanta Hawks, while their recent NBA finals appearance was in 2022 when they bid goodbye to the championship after being beaten by Golden State Warriors.

All eyes on the ring that can only be attained by the greatest team of the series. Either of the teams will win, this is going to be written in the history of the NBA as all of the big men of these teams are ravenous to the title.
