fun fact, “Fright in Los Angeles” is not the name of the last turnip with Bruce Willis

This NBA playoff night has 3 games in store for us and the least we can say is that some are (already) playing very big. If the Nets ensured their first game with a good performance from the Big Three Harden-KD-Kyrie, on the side of the Angelinos, it draws the mouth. The Lakers conceded a first loss to the Suns of a burning Devin Booker and a diminished Chris Paul. The Clippers, for their part, let Luka do his show and walk away with the victory. The two rivals will have to whip: Alert to Malibu!

1:30 : Nets – Celtics : We will expect a lot from Jayson Tatum after his half-fig, half-grape match. Syears of defense and without Jaylen Brown, Boston will need it if the Greens want to come away with the victory. For this, the men of Brad Stevens will have to stuff the trio of Brooklyn. Celtic friends, we’ll let you light a candle just in case: we don’t know many people who are betting on you tonight. Ok, presented like that, it looks a little like the little Sixths clique who wants to challenge that of the Terminal. But hey, on a misunderstanding …

4:00 : Suns – Lakers : Surely the main event of the evening. The defending Champions will want to take revenge on the stunning Phoenix Suns. Chris Paul will finally be there to play this match, he who had injured his shoulder in Game 1. The Lakers will have to rebel with Anthony Davis in the front row who was completely eaten up by the Crowder-Ayton tandem in the first clash. LeBron has not been sparkling either and will have to show Mikal Bridges how one of the best players in history behaves with his back to the wall. Suns’ Ayton-Booker duo will want to repeat the performance of the day before yesterday. The pivot will especially want to prove that he is applying to the elite of the Big Men of the League for the next seasons. Booker will want to show him that if Kobe’s soul is in the Staples Center, his game is in Devin Armani Booker’s body during these Playoffs.

4:30 : Clippers – Mavericks : The PG-Kawhi duo did not ensure Saturday during the opening of the Playoffs and a defeat this evening could put them definitively back to the wall. The two Clippers superstars have launched big bricks (3/14 to 3 points to two) and are obliged to react . As if the ghost from last year’s series had returned, Doncic went all out in defense of Tyronn Lue’s men. Well accompanied by the performances of Dorian Finney-Smith and Tim Hardaway Jr, Luka will have to raise the level again to leave Los Angeles with 2 victories because the Clippers are nervous and they should move up a gear. Lue will perhaps appeal a little more to the Zubac-Ibaka duo, underexploited in Game 1. See also how Kristaps Porzingis will play, not in the game either after scoring 14 points at 30% shooting.

The franchises led 1-0 will have to put the collar down so as not to find themselves in the embarrassing situation of being obliged to win. The Lakers and the Clippers have particularly the pressure on their shoulders and the four stars of these franchises will have to show their teeth in this Game 2. Generally, this kind of situation with great players like LeBron or Kawhi gives great moments of playoffs . Meet at 1:30 am to attack hostilities.
