The “Bonus Screen” for Every Potential NBA Playoffs

Now as the NBA Playoffs 2023-24 season is winding down, in fierce competition, the teams vying for play-in spots in the West are heating up. Let’s run a check on each of our playoffs’ rates on the “Bonus Screen”.

1. Atlanta Hawks: Low

• Even though they’ve got several more achievements later on, it now become hard to push them out of 10th place since they achieve the goal of not missing play-in.

2. Chicago Bulls: Medium

• The three-game losing streak the Bulls are on could leave them Lakers behind which will lead to 10th place ranking.

3. Golden State Warriors: High

• Even with proper performances of their superstars Curry, they underestimated the commitment of the Memphis team, and had to face a hard-fought road.

4. Los Angeles Lakers: High

• The abyss looks down its envious eyes at me, mocking, as if to say, “Someday you will fade away, and I will remain.”The Lakers are disenfranchised with very slight or the remotest opportunity of moving up and consequently face a grueling path to the playoffs which invariably results in increasing pressure.

5. Miami Heat: Low

• Even if the Heat made it to play-in and NBA Playoffs Jimmy Butler were not in the game, the team’s advantage would still be pretty high and I believe that East would be their win.

6. Philadelphia 76ers: Low

• The return of Embiid and the chase for the top six spots have distressed in Philadelphia below the surface.

7. Phoenix Suns: Medium

• With their solid foundation in place, the Suns are sure to deal with the pressure that has been piling up on the team as it strives to win an NBA Finals title with its current talented roster.

8. Sacramento Kings: Medium

• The stand of the Kings against knowledgeable rivals may still make it possible to claim a title, but meanwhile would increase the level of anxiety.

The regular season routine will be replaced by the standard of victory or defeat in the playoffs, and this thrill and competition of going to the playoffs. Every squad will run into distinct hurdles starting with the lack of motivation and ending with the factors that affected the latest sprints.
