NBA: agora é a sério
Começa este sábado o “playoff” da NBA. Por outras palavras, agora é que a competição vai ser a sério, depois de uma fase regular em que “apenas” se cortaram 14 equipas e escalou as 16 melhores. É por este momento que os milhões de adeptos da modalidade, espalhados por todo o planeta, tanto aguardavam. Palpites? Continuo, tal como defendi na pré-temporada, a ver a formação de Boston como a mais apetrechada da Liga. No entanto, é verdade, nem na sua conferência lograram ser os melhores após 82 jogos. Chicago, contrariando todas as previsões, ganhou a primeira parte da época mas, nem por isso, considero os Bulls os principais candidatos. Contudo, se Derrick Rose continuar brilhante, a equipa defender com “unhas e dentes” como até aqui e o United Center for um inferno para os adversários, admito que os “touros” possam voltar a surpreender. Sendo fiel à causa… ficaria satisfeito!
Para mais tarde poder verificar a minha taxa de acerto, deixo aqui breves considerações sobre as oito séries e uns quadros com dados estatísticos importantes para que cada um possa fazer as suas contas. Analisem tudo ao pormenor e digam, quanto antes, de sua justiça. Entretanto, fica aqui também o calendário completo desta primeira ronda do “playoff”.
