A huge breakdown of all the Game 1s.  Orlando is suddenly up off the mat and becoming the team we thought they could be. Is Detroit in trouble? Victor Wembanyama’s playoff debut was as spectacular as we thought. Portland tried some unique things to counter the Spurs and Victor; what worked, what didn’t, and what else can they try? Jayson Tatum looked totally in command as Boston rolled in Game 1.  Jalen Williams reemerged onto the scene as OKC’s defense throttled Phoenix. It’s the first day of the playoffs and we broke down every game in excruciating detail. Denver handled Minnesota despite poor shooting, is that a harbinger for the rest of the series? New York held serve at home against the Hawks, but is there reason for optimism in Atlanta that they can compete in the series? The Lakers totally embarrassed and out-thought the Rockets in the absence of KD. Will his return be enough, or are major adjustments needed by Ime Udoka? Toronto failed to compete against Cleveland in every area and needs to hit the “play harder” adjustment button.
