If teams want to compete in modern NBA games, they need to have a powerful reconnaissance and analysis system ready to leverage various strategies and trends. Nevertheless, a team’s victory and struggle cannot be explained by data alone. Sometimes reading the resonance and energy of the universe can help fill the gap.

This is especially true in the 2025 NBA playoffs, from seemingly predictable to a total out of track in a few weeks. The Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers are popular favorites that have won the East throughout the season and are now extending the summer. The Oklahoma City Thunder were almost packed by the Denver Nuggets before winning Game 7 on Sunday. Facing the historic second round chaos, perhaps naturally, beyond scout reports and spreadsheets – on the stars, looking for meaning in the basketball universe, which violates all other ways of the playoffs so far.

That's why I think there are some guidance words for each contender based on its zodiac signs, which is why this will be the guidance words for their best player, as well as the potential of New York Knicks to host future champions in Indiana State in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final Wednesday (tnt/tnt/Max 8 pm) and Thunders’ Max, Thunders the Minnesta game (Minnesota of Max) Wednesday, on Wednesday, what their future champions might say in Game 1 of Wednesday’s ES, ESPN).

While I am certainly not a zodiac expert or full-time astrologer for daytime (or night), the intention of this NBA sign is entertaining while still integrating the truth about each team and player, including statistics and celestial bodies.

Let's see what Stars comment on the rest of the playoffs.

Conference Finals:
East: Pacers Knicks
West: Thunder Wolf

Eastern Conference Finals

⭐ Best Player: Tyrese Haliburton (11.6 War)
Date of birth: February 29, 2000 (Pisces)

According to the astrological calendar, May has a sense of awakening to Pisces, while Halliburton means stepping into the clearest self: an effective offensive wizard who plots as much as he scores in passing and shooting, rather than intuition rather than self. Although he ranked fourth among teams in the playoffs (22.2%), Halliburton’s all-round vision and feeling about the game (the kind you can’t teach, channel-only) help set the pace for one of the fastest and most creative teams in the NBA.

Thanks to the connection and empowerment of Mercury and Scorpio full moon, Halliburton was asked to trust his intuition, stay calm and lead a group that has shocked the playoff brackets and reshapes the Eastern energy.

✨ Auxiliary stars:

Pascal Sakak,♈️Aries
Andrew Nembhard♑️Mori
Aaron Nesmith,♎️Libra
Myers Turner,♈️Aries

This is the core defined by contrast and chemistry. Both Aries’ fires siakam and Turner bring complementary expressions of confidence: the former is the creator and rebounder of the top shooting, and its main signature - Caries is Spring’s promoter Aries, full of unpredictable offenses from Pacers, while the latter protects the rims with bold and unexpressible timing. Captain Morris' Nembhard is also a major sign, but his role is based on his own logo characteristics: effective effects of discipline, rooting and quiet, low usage, masking above-average play, emerging shooting touch (his 22-44 shots in the playoffs 3-3) and a gift of defensive demolition.

Then there is Nesmith, embodying a Libra who acts as a team harmony, bringing Elite 3 and D skills that create a bridge between offense and defense. Together, the group created a basic balance - Fire (Siakam and Turner), Earth (Nembhard) and Air (Nesmith) - spinning around Haliburton's offensive instinct and flow of drinking water. Like this Pacers season, the overall is stronger than the sum of its various parts.

⭐ Best Player: Jaren Brunson (7.2 War)
Date of birth: August 31, 1996 (♍️Virgo)

The Knicks are the embodiment of their star player Brunson, whose Virgo qualities (concentration, strength and hard work) are the first team to lead the finals in 25 years. Brunson’s trick is to create for himself, and at the same time, selfless, and even if he rarely makes things look easy, it is a methodical engine to drive the New York Cinderella run.

His defense may be brighter than the other stars (he has a negative 2.0 defensive Raptor score), but as Mercury enters Taurus on May 10, Scorpio Full Moon unleashes its third exchange home on May 12, a moment that calls on Virgo's ability to stay centered, sound and sharp playoffs. The late May transition of Saturn into a Transformation House (and the Gemini New Moon to be held on May 26) marks a turning point that has the potential to lead to Brunson's ascent (who has been heading towards something deeper since Villanova's early days: the champion's legacy.

✨ Auxiliary stars:

Josh Hart,♓️Fish
Carl-Anthony Town♏️Scorpio
Mikal Bridge,♍️Virgo
and Anunoby,♋️Cancer

The Knicks’ playoff surge is powered by water and the planet, forming a rooted but emotionally adaptable team identity. Pisces Hart brings classic creativity and empathy to the water logo: even if the basic box score doesn't always show up, he's scornful, selfless and willing to do whatever he needs. (Although he scored only 13.5 points per game, his Knicks starter was the lowest, with his playoff Raptor rating of 2.4.

Towns introduced the original emotional undercurrent of Scorpio, and his performance needs to prove something - he averaged 19.6 points and 11.3 rebounds for New York and held a final against his former team, The Wolves. Bridges of Virgo offers another level of quiet intensity, although his shooting has been different (similar to the playoffs so far (29.3% true shooting percentages of 3,50.0), while Cancerian Anunoby offers tenacious surrounding defense and all-round reliability, leveraging the protective instinct of the logo.

Together, the astrological composition of this team – the stable earth logo anchors the emotional water – is perfect for getting rid of playoff turmoil. Although they didn't overwhelm their opponents (only an 11-point difference in 12 games), the Knicks did outperform them.

Series Outlook

Indiana just slapped out the first seed of the East with relatively easy access – as the stars sync around Haliburton’s infectious positive rhythms, the Pacers look less like fl's luck, but more like a force that cannot be ignored.

Meanwhile, the Knicks fell down the favored Celtics in the six-of-sixth Celtics, obviously deeper than the statistics. (They spent most of the series as medium to heavy losers, but they fed Game 6 in the energy of the Madison Square Garden crowd. But in the end, the attention to the Pacers atmosphere is particularly powerful for the New York team that has shown impressive energy in Indiana’s past.

Western Conference Finals

⭐ Best Player: Anthony Edwards (11.2 War)
Date of birth: August 5, 2001 (♌️LEO)

Mars enters Leo in the playoffs, and Edwards is already embracing his leadership and recognition. Minnesota playoff run faces are full of fire energy: bold, confident and unafraid, with 26.5 points per game, 8.0 rebounds and 5.9 assists to the center. As Mars completely leaves a retrograde shadow in Leo, doubts about Edwards' ability to lead is melting. What remains is the ambitions needed to turn potential into a reality for champions. As Mercury focuses on career aspirations, Edwards will be responsible for balancing his on-field charm and vitality with a deeper emotional foundation. The New Moon in Gemini challenged him to look forward and ask if Now The moment he thought his destiny was the heir to the greatest star in history.

✨ Auxiliary stars:

Jaden McDaniels,♎️Libra
Rudy Gobert,♋️Cancer
Julius Randle♐️Sagittarius
Mike Conley,♎️Libra

This Timberwolves group blends fire, water and air into a mixture that works in some way – each player reflects a unique aspect of Minnesota’s rise. Randle is another Flame sign that peaks at the right time, boosting his scoring burden from the regular season (18.7 points per game) to the playoffs (23.9), and bringing the adventurous witchcraft spirit to the frontcourt. Gobert plays the opposite role, acting as a stable defensive anchor, embodying the protective qualities of cancer in paint.

These two Libras – McDaniels and Conley – bring a balance in different ways: McDaniels is a super effective wing guard and Conley, an experienced leader who brings everything together through the steady influence we expect from a former Teammate of the Year Award winner. As a group, they come together in an elemental harmonious way: fire (Edwards, Randle), water (Gobert) and air (McDaniels, Conley), bringing emotional range to Minnesota to run, but also keep calm under pressure.

⭐ Best Player: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (19.8 War)
Date of birth: July 12, 1998 (♋️Cancer)

May offers the potential to be a change month for cancer – for Gilgeous-Alexander, these changes can be far-reaching. The face of the Oklahoma City franchise is to silence the skeptic and lead by his intuition, creativity, and emotion. Although Gilgeous-Alexander shot 29.3% from the field in these playoff three-point ranges, he still managed to bend the game to his will with craftsmanship and crafty people. (Remember worrying that he won't be able to make a trademark foul call in the playoffs? His free throw rate is now higher than the regular season.)

As Mars finally clears its retrograde shadow, it is the moment he fully stepped into power. But this month’s moon cycle also puts forward a deeper demand: Can Gilgeous-Alexander keep emotional clarity and joy under the pressure of heritage? The signs of cancer are natural carriers of responsibility and weight - Currently, Gilgeous-Alexander carries the future of the franchise, the city and even the NBA.

✨ Auxiliary stars:

Jaylen Williams,♈️Aries
Alex Caruso,♓️Fish
Carson Wallace♏️Scorpio
Chet Holmgren,♉️Taurus

Oklahoma City’s young core is based on both talent and dynamic diversity. Williams is an Aries who brings fire signature aggression to attack – highly used, efficient and defensive efforts – even if his jumper (25.4% of 3%) may be sharper. Caruso is an experienced Pisces, the team's spiritual glue, the outside anchor of the Thunder's best unit, and fearless in defense.

Sophomore Scorpio Wallace plays his year - a quiet defensive spoiler who can knock down shots if necessary. Holmgren is the only Earth logo for the group, which keeps consistency throughout the steps, with elite rebound protection (2.2 blocks per game) and balanced two-way play, which makes Oklahoma City's fast-paced attacks strong exit passes and transitional LOB threats. (Taurus doesn't need to appreciate the beauty of Jalen Williams-To-Holmgren Alley-oop!) This complete group is related to cosmic harmony: Fire (Williams), Earth (Holmgren) and Water (Caruso, Wallace, Wallace), spinning the protective intuition of cancer Kyrgyz (Gilgeous-Gilgeous-Ealexander).

Series Outlook

Oklahoma City just took seven blowouts for the 2023 championship Nuggets, and as the last remaining power in the regular season, the track is obvious to the Thunder and can make their rise. Minnesota has its own mind and, so far, has been surprisingly knocking out big names.

Whether it is the break before the final that leads to rust or resting, the stars indicate that the wolf is performing in a frontline with confidence and the universe. But even so, the thunder here is still an obvious favorite. With the best metrics in the league and the championship-level atmosphere, Oklahoma City will prove that this is no longer the team of the future, but the team of the present.
