The 2025 NBA Playoffs are finally underway, marking the beginning of the road to a new world champion. And just like the March Madness tournament that wrapped up recently, you can count on a few surprises along the way. There are plenty of hungry teams in the mix, but only one will reign supreme come June. Can the Celtics secure their first back-to-back championship since 1969?
