The Milwaukee Bucks were eliminated from the 2023 NBA Playoffs earlier than many expected, they were the defending champions.

The first round of the postseason was relatively short, most of the favorites winning in 4 games while Sacramento and Golden State had to define everything in a seventh game.

The conference semifinals will be much tougher than the first round since a couple of underdogs like the 76ers and Nuggets managed to get into that phase of the postseason and are ready for anything.
