Chapter 267: The playoffs are coming

Individual stats are important, but for a team with aspirations, the team's record is the most important criterion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

With the end of the regular season, the playoff rosters of the East and West are also produced in turn.

In the East, the first to eighth places in the playoffs are: Boston Celtics, Atlanta Hawks, Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic, Cleveland Cavaliers, Washington Wizards, Toronto Raptors, and Philadelphia 76ers.

According to the results, the situation of the first round matchup in the East should be like this.

Upper Eastern Sector:

Boston Celtics (1) vs. Philadelphia 76ers (8).

This should be a matchup with no suspense.

Celtic have collected the big 3 this season and few teams have been able to prevent them from getting the win.

Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen all made corresponding sacrifices, and this is a team that is so strong that it is feared.

The 65-17 record speaks for itself.

In contrast, the Philadelphia 76ers have completely entered the era of small AI after losing AI, and Andre Iguodala has also successfully reached the playoffs with the help of Andre Miller, Willie Green, Louis Williams, Samuel Daimport, Kyle Korver and others.

However, compared with the top spot in the east, it is still difficult to have a chance of reversal, and there is only a theoretical possibility for the Black Eight.

The media predicted that Celtic would eliminate their opponents 4-1 to advance to the next round.

Orlando Magic (4) vs. Cleveland Cavaliers (5).

This should be a battle of focus, the Sparks finally have a helper this season, Mr. Billions Rashad Lewis Cheng has helped the Warcraft to empty the inside, plus the shooters such as Turkoglou, Nelson, Bogans, Redick, etc., they have a 51-31 record in the regular season.

Normally, there's no doubt that they'll make it to the second round of the playoffs, but when their opponent becomes the Cleveland Cavaliers who LeBron James says leads, it's all out of the question.

James led the Cavaliers to a 43-39 record this season, whether the Cavaliers are good or not, it all depends on James' performance alone, if James can still show the level of last season's finals, and there are players like Gibson around him, then Cleveland also has a chance to reach the second round.

The media predicts that the Magic will enter the second round with a score of 4:3.

Lower Eastern Half:

Atlanta Hawks (2) vs Toronto Raptors (7).

It's a beast war.

The Hawks, the biggest dark horse of the season, became the second team in the league to win 60.

No matter how you look at it, there is no chance of losing to the Raptors in the first round.

However, "Dragon" Bosh will never admit defeat so easily, with TJ Ford, Jose Calderón, Capono and the Italian champion Baniani who doesn't know when he will feel online, who have a 41-41 record this season.

The Raptors still have the ability to win one or two games, and a reprieve, is better than a death sentence, in case there is a turnaround!

The media predicts that the Atlanta Hawks will advance with a 4-1 victory over the Raptors.

Detroit Pistons (3) vs Washington Wizards (6)

After losing Ben Wallace, the Pistons have been going downhill, losing to the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference finals last season, and although they barely tied 2:2 with the Hawks in the regular season this season, they still lost to the Hawks in the end in terms of team record.

With a 58-24 record, which is still third in the East and third in the league, the ageing roster is becoming less and less competitive, and they should start rebuilding mode as soon as possible.

However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Pistons still have an advantage over the Wizards.

Speaking of the Washington Wizards, we have to say Arenas, the general has only played 13 games this season due to injury, and he did return from injury before the playoffs, but it is doubtful how many successes he has left.

Jamison and Butler were really good, and they still brought the Wizards into the playoffs without a boss on the team. But if you want to make it to the second round, it's too difficult.

The media predicted that the Pistons would sweep the Wizards and reach the second round 4-0.

This is more or less the case in the east, while the situation in the west is full of misery and tragedy, from February to April.

In terms of records, the top six teams in the playoffs are too close to each other, with the first-placed Lakers and sixth-ranked Suns only two wins separating them.

The playoff roster in the West is as follows: Los Angeles Lakers, New Orleans Hornets, San Antonio Spurs, Utah Jazz, Houston Rockets, Phoenix Suns, Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets.

Yao Ming once said that in the West, if you don't get 50 wins, you can't enter the playoffs, and this statement has come true.

At the end of the season, the eighth-ranked Nuggets were exactly 50-32, while the ninth-ranked Golden State Warriors missed the playoffs with 48 wins and 34 losses.

This record can be ranked in the top five in the East, but in the highly competitive West Zone, you can only go home fishing.

The Lakers should breathe a sigh of relief that the Warriors have been the last team that high-ranked teams want to meet since they blacked out the Mavericks last season. Who knows if these guys will suddenly and do something.

Upper Western Half:

Los Angeles Lakers (1) vs Denver Nuggets (8).

The 57-25 Lakers are clearly more complete than the Nuggets in terms of roster.

Kobe Bryant's life has been full of sweetness since he got his sister-in-law, and the love is ...... No matter how you look at it, the partners are more harmonious than the Nuggets' golden twin guns.

The media predicted that the Lakers would advance to the second round with a 4-1 victory over the Nuggets.

Utah Jazz (4) vs. Houston Rockets (5).

The Jazz have a 54-28 record, which is actually worse than the Rockets' 55-27, but with their advantage in the division, they still automatically finished in a top-four spot.

The Rockets, who lost Yao Ming, basically couldn't see the possibility of a reversal, but the super long winning streak in the season still added points to them.

The Jazz are destined to emerge as the opposite character of the vast majority of fans of the Celestial Empire, and this year is no exception.

The media predicted that the Jazz would eliminate the Rockets 4-2 and advance to the second round.

Lower Western Half:

New Orleans Hornets (2) vs Dallas Mavericks (7).

The Hornets have risen quickly this season, second only to the Hawks in the East, and have finished with an excellent 56-26 record.

The Mavericks have never come out of the shadow of being blacked out last season, although the 51-31 record is not bad, but it is not easy for them to rise again after they injured their character last season.

After Kidd came, it didn't have an immediate effect, and it was not so simple to beat the league's upstart Hornets.

Also, the point guard battle between Kidd and Paul is a major attraction of this round.

The media predicts that the Hornets will end the battle with six games and advance to the second round.

San Antonio Spurs (3) vs Phoenix Suns (6).

What a battle of offense and defense!

Why did the Suns send Marion away to welcome O'Neal, in the final analysis, it is to deal with Western teams with strong interior lines.

Although in the regular season, O'Neal did not fully integrate into the Suns, but in the playoffs, it is still very exciting to see whether the big sharks will suddenly awaken.

4:3, the Spurs will narrowly advance to the second round, at which time the mainstream media gave a prediction.

The big battle is on the horizon, and the playoffs are coming!(To be continued.) )
