Each NBA playoff team's Succession character

Have we all recovered from that tear-jerker of an episode on Sunday? I mean to watch the Minnesota Timberwolves unravel in front of the world was absolutely heart-wrenching. Just kidding. I know the Timberwolves’ imploding was about as sad as [SPOILER ALERT] Logan Roy finally kicking the bucket later in the day on Succession.

The sprint to the two titles is now on for the rest of spring. There will be four rounds of NBA postseason to determine a champion, and seven final episodes to see who will be named CEO of Waystar Royco with the death of the greatest manipulator to ever grace the small screen.

In celebration of both of these stretch runs, I decided to pair the potential future CEOs with what I believe is the proper NBA postseason counterpart. I even separated the contenders for the Waystar throne into two conferences: The Roys (characters who either have Roy blood or carry that last name) and the not-Roys. Being that the Western Conference has been chaotic all season, that is where you will find the Roys.

For those who don’t agree with my seedings I extended to you all, from the bottom of my heart, Logan Roy’s favorite phrase.

All the accolades but has yet to seal the deal.

Young, spunky, and immature.

The most obvious flaws among the higher seeds.

The long-lurking contender.

Easily forgotten, but always working in the shadows.

Comfortable with identity and can be irascible.

Knew what move to make at the right moment.

Started from the bottom now we here.

Been dominant in recent big moments.

Has all of the tools but can’t seem to close the deal.

Highly talented but can fold under pressure.

Not really missing anything, just can’t be certain if ultimate victory is feasible.

A fun matchup against the No. 4 seed.

Gonna play hard and have a benefactor with loaded pockets.

A lot of talent amid all of the dysfunction.

An upset of shocking proportions if victorious, but there is technically a chance.
