The NBA playoffs tipped off this weekend, as the Denver Nuggets look to become the NBA's first repeat champions since the 2017 and 2018 Golden State Warriors. They picked up right where they left off in the Western Conference a season ago, winning their fifth consecutive playoff game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The East also features a rematch of last season's conference finalists, but this season it was the Boston Celtics dominating Game 1 against the Miami Heat, after falling 3-0 last season.
Our NBA experts were at all eight Game 1s on Saturday and Sunday -- all of which were won by the home team, the first time that has happened since 2013 -- and shared their first impressions of every series, with a glance at what we might expect as these teams head to Game 2 and beyond.
