2025 NBA postseason predictions: SGA wins MVP over Jokic, Lakers make Finals

The results of the American Professional League Awards will be broken soon, so it’s time to honor the highlight of my choices, as well as my qualifying predictions.
It is always an honor to be among the members of the media who were chosen to vote on the prizes, although my eyes have been tied to watching games and analyzing statistics, and I definitely lost sleep in some very difficult decisions.
Unfortunately, the poll was filled. The qualifiers started. Here’s how I think everything should decrease.
MVP: Gilgos Alexander tea
This year, he deserves the best player in the best award team. Gilgeous-Elexander led the youngest team in the American Professional League to the 68th season, with an average of 32.7 points in the league in a shooting match of 51.9 percent. He had more than 20, 30, 40 and 50 games points for anyone in the league. Not to mention, he had the lowest percentage of sales from anyone who has a rate of use or higher in the past twenty seasons.
But what really prompted him on the edge of this award was to play in two tremendous directions. He was one of the best defenders in the league’s highest defensive team. The American Professional League was not only led in winning shares, but also in defensive victory shares, as he won the five shares in theft.
While competing with the award, Nicolas GokicAlso put stunning numbers on the offensive end, gave him Gilgeous-alexander on both sides of the court a feature in a very close race.
Defense player for this year: Drimon Green
when Victor and Yumanama The season reached an unexpected end due to deep vein clotting in his right shoulder in February, this prize became a seizure. Green was distinguished from his competitors. The best argument for Green to win a defensive player per year? Watch it play. It can protect five of five, the court reads better than anyone and its genius lies in stopping the plays before even happens, a phenomenon that does not appear in the degrees of boxes. Look at what he did against him Zion Williamson and Anttokounmpo This season, to return to it.
After resting all the stars, Warriors The higher defensive team was in the league. (They ranked seventh in general.) Although statistics only tell part of the story when it comes to green, it has starred in advanced standards, and got the first place in the league in favor of the defensive Lebron,
General Trainer: Kenny Atkinson
Under Atkinson, and Cavaliers They not only exceeded their expectations, but also destroyed them. They moved from thought as one team that would make the qualifiers, until they became a team not only ruled for the first seed in the eastern conference, but also considered as a fan to reach the eastern conference finals.
Atkinson renewed the Cavaliers crime, focusing on the movement of the ball and shooting 3 points, with some pregnancy out of all stars Donovan Mitchell. The Cavaliers team opened the season with a number 15-0 and has not lost a lot of steam since then, as it has finished the higher classification crime in the league, which is a huge leap from the sixteenth place last year.
General rising: Stefon Castle
The average castle was 14.7 points at 42.8 percent of the shooting, 4.1 passes and 3.7 rebounds in 26.7 minutes, over 81 games this season. He led all qualified juniors in the registration and named MVP from the Rising Stars game on All Star Weekend, as well as the second place in the Slam Dunk competition. Castle is one of the four young people who have many 30 points games this season. The field for this award was not strong this season, and Castle did enough to separate himself.
finals: Boston Celkus Opposite Los Angeles Lakers
In the east, the ruling hero Celkus will advance with the duo Jason Tatum and Gilin Brown Ultimately get the best in Cavaliers. Despite the amazing CAVS season, they have no sufficient experience to play together in high -risk games to bypass the duo who played together for eight seasons, where they reached the conference finals six times and tour the tournament twice.
In the West, Lakers will make the finals because a 40 -year -old child has been called Liberon James He knows that this is one of his last chances to win its fifth championship, and he now believes that he has an opportunity to achieve this alongside Luca Densic. James knows how to go along the way, win four championships and appear 10 final matches, including eight in a row of 2011-2018. At the same time, Densic took Dallas Maverx To the finals last year, before they shocked the world by dealing with a 25 -year -old child in Prime to one of his competitors in February. James and Donesic take their games to another level, and the qualifying time comes, and besides that Austin ReefisIt will create nightmares for defenses.
MVP finals: Luca Densic
Publicly humiliated the star of generations by circulating from a privilege that he wanted to play throughout his career, and invited him out of form … and watching what is happening.
