With Game 1s in the books, we make the case for -- and against -- each of the playoff teams to win the 2025 NBA title.

There isn't enough firepower on this roster to keep pace for Cleveland's explosive offense. Miami's strength, its defense, isn't slowing the Cavs down. To this point, Cleveland is scoring a playoff-best 135.2 points per 100 possessions.

The Thunder did it — they outscored their opponents by more points than any team in NBA history at 1,055. On average, Oklahoma City won by 13 points. Simply a powerful basketball team, and point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander averaged only 1.9 turnovers with 7.3 assists over the last five weeks of the season.
