Where to Watch the Best NBA Playoffs We’ve Seen in Years

Posted on by Lucien Kisch

Perhaps the biggest knock against the NBA playoffs over the past few seasons has been its predictability. The same two teams, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors, have met in the finals for the past three seasons, leaving the postseason devoid of suspense. Last year, those teams lost one game combined on their road to the finals. This year, however, things are different. While the Cavs and Warriors are both still in the hunt, a host of new competitors have led to some fascinating series and a fourth consecutive finals meeting between those two teams is very much in doubt.  This blog will show you where to watch every game with a local fan club.

How to Maximize Your 2018 NBA Playoffs Game Watching Experience

Posted on by Rahul Bendre

The 2018 NBA Playoffs are officially underway! We have already seen the topsy-turvy regular season spill over into the postseason. The seemingly red-hot Portland Trail Blazers were upset at home by Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans in game one of their best of seven game series. Additionally, the Boston Celtics were brutally tested by the Milwaukee Bucks in an overtime thriller, in which Boston eventually prevailed. And finally, perhaps the biggest story from the first weekend of the 2018 NBA Playoffs, LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers were beaten by 18 points at home by the Indiana Pacers. Evidently, the first weekend has already proven that this year’s playoffs will be like no other. Four and five game series are seldom likely to be found for the 2018 NBA Playoffs. This is very different from last year where more than half of the series in the playoffs were finished in either four or five games.

FanWide’s NBA Playoff Round 2 Guide for the Casual Fan (Part 2)

Posted on by Jennifer Lott

The 2017 NBA Playoffs are in full swing and it’s not too late to get in on the action.

This is a continuation of the 2017 NBA Playoff Guide for Casual Fans Part 1.

Washington Wizards

Good: The Wizards have been a team that has seemingly finally gotten it together. Bradley Beal is fun and exciting to root for while John Wall is the superstar everyone has been waiting on. Let’s be honest, D.C. sports fans haven’t exactly had the best of  luck recently, so this one can be theirs.

FanWide’s NBA Playoffs Round 2 Guide for the Casual Fan (Part 1)

Posted on by Jennifer Lott

The 2017 NBA Playoffs are in full swing and it’s not too late to get in on the action.

Here are some good and bad points for each team remaining in round 2:

Boston Celtics

Good: The team has been built with patience and intelligence and that’s commendable. Isaiah Thomas exudes confidence in his play style, as though he always knows where the ball is going. Also, prior to the Celtics’ game 2 win, Stevens put the lineup of Isaiah Thomas, Terry Rozier, Marcus Smart, Avery Bradley and Al Horford on the court, making for what was very dominant game play.
