we know the times of the first night’s matches

Now that the regular season is over and several posters of the 2022 NBA Playoffs are known, we can start to organize. The League has indeed just released part of the program for next weekend, and we will have to be there early.

Each year, the NBA pleases us by offering matches at European times for the first weekend of the Playoffs. And 2022 is no exception. On Saturday April 16, the postseason will officially kick off at 7 p.m. (French time) with Game 1 between the Mavericks and the Jazz on the Dallas side. Not sure that Mark Cuban likes it, given the boo suffered by Luka Doncic during the final regular season game last night, but that’s how it is. Behind, it will quickly follow with the first meeting of the series between the Grizzlies and the winner of the Wolves – Clippers match as part of the play-in tournament in the West. This is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. and will last approximately until midnight, when we move to the East Side with the opening of the Sixers-Raptors series in Philadelphia. We will then return to the West and more specifically to the Bay of San Francisco to witness the Warriors’ comeback in the Playoffs after two seasons of absence. It is not yet known if Stephen Curry will be operational but what is certain is that Golden State will start its campaign against the Nuggets of Nikola Jokic at 2:30 a.m. You understood it because you know how to count, we are on four consecutive Playoff meetings, from 7 p.m. to around 5 a.m. Everything we love !

Regarding Easter Sunday, many things remain to be defined but it will be placed under the sign of the Eastern Conference. Boston will host Brooklyn or Cleveland, Miami will play either Brooklyn or Cleveland or Atlanta or Charlotte, and then we go to defending champions Milwaukee for Game 1 between the Bucks and the Bulls. Beautiful battles in perspective. On the night of Sunday to Monday, the best team of the regular season will also enter these 2022 Playoffs with the Suns who will host the eighth from the West, eighth which could be the Wolves, the Clippers, the Pelicans or the Spurs. We will have to wait a little longer to know the schedules for Sunday and obviously all the posters for this first round of the Playoffs, but the program of really serious things is starting to take shape.

What a pleasure to see the Playoff schedule. And now you know what you have to do: you book your Easter weekend, you warn the family, you do the shopping you need, so everything is nickel chrome to approach the postseason of the best possible way.
