The playoffs are the peak of the season in American sports. We could relate the enthusiasm seen in the playoffs to that from the final qualifying stages of the Champions League in Europe. This is the time of the season when the best teams meet face to face, until the final which will crown the champion of the year. In American football, baseball, basketball, and even auto racing, this addictive playoff format is seeing peak TV ratings. The Americans organize evenings at home to watch the games, meet at the bar to celebrate their team… The NBA playoffs are a real highlight of the year across the Atlantic.
As for the NBA, the national basketball association in the United States, the playoffs bring together the 16 best teams of the regular season. Divided into 8 teams in each conference (East / West), they compete in intense series of matches, to advance to the next stage of the NBA playoffs. To qualify, the principle is simple: the first team with 4 wins in the series wins. Thus, only 4 games can be held if a team inflicts a 4-0 defeat on the other team, or up to 7 games if the two teams are tied 3-3 after 6 games. For this 2023 vintage, the teams still in contention are fighting an exceptional battle, and many matches are being held at reasonable times for us Europeans.
So there’s no excuse not to watch the NBA playoffs, and we’ve found the best bars in Paris to watch them!
