Everything seems so fast in the shrinking season.

It seems that the All-Star has just passed, but fans are surprised to find that it seems that the playoffs are almost here!

This year, because of the short and tight schedule, the playoff situation has undergone some incredible small changes compared to previous years.

In particular, some teams have strangely appeared in positions that have never appeared before!

Let's start with the Great West.

With Yao Ming's departure this year, the Rockets' vitality has been greatly damaged, Whiteside is a pie-eating insider, he has no way to attack independently like Yao Ming, expect him to defend the block is okay, and the offense can only look at the sky.

So, while Billups isn't weak in assists, the Rockets don't have a consistent scorer, and they're currently struggling to sit eighth or ninth in the West.

As difficult as the Rockets, it is last year's defending champion Mavericks, after the Mavericks won the championship last year, their championship roster disintegrated in the summer, and the rest of the people had no motivation to win the championship, and the old driver was a year older, and the schedule became intensive, and the Mavericks couldn't hold it at all!

Now they and the Rockets are brothers, and the two teams alternate between eighth and sixth positions, and they are struggling quite a bit anyway.

Seventh in the West is the Nuggets! This season, the Nuggets relied on a group of civilians and rookies to reach seventh place in the Great West without star players!

Sixth in the West is the Suns, and if nothing else, this should be Nash's last year playing for the Suns, so this year's Suns are the last time Nash can shine.

Fifth in the West is the Grizzlies, and at present, the Grizzlies have the true character of a strong team killer, and they have not won against the Grizzlies, so they are embarrassed to say that they are a strong team.

The fourth in the West is the Clippers, and in the first year Paul came to the Clippers, he turned this broken ship into an aircraft carrier, and suddenly became the top four from the West, not losing to the Lakers in the same city.

Because the Lakers are just one place ahead of them, the third in the West, and the Lakers, who have the current league's first quarterback, second center, and top five forwards, are really in third place is a failure.

Kobe Bryant and Howard have been calling for a long time, Gasol is a good gentleman again, and the Lakers have been looking for chemistry for almost a season, but they haven't found it yet! Now a lot of people are worried about how they will perform in the playoffs.

The second in the West is currently the Spurs, in fact, the Spurs can be the first, but in order to give the team's main team a chance to rest, he has recently taken several rounds of rest, which has made the team's record drop a little, otherwise, the Thunder will not take the opportunity to overtake and become the first in the West.

However, if the Thunder maintain the first place, then they will have an advantage this year, after all, before the Western Conference finals, they can avoid the Spurs and Lakers, which can be regarded as a leisurely waiting.

Moreover, by staying first, Durant has a chance to grab the first VP trophy of his career.

After losing that day, although Durant was frustrated, he did not admit defeat, he took the initiative to make an appointment with Han Miao, of course, in the finals.

"We'll meet in the finals, right? Of course, you'll have to get past Miami first! ”

That's what Durant said, and his words were full of the feeling of a fight.

Of course, Durant mainly mentioned the Miami Heat, and it was also deliberate, he wanted to disgust Han Miao and let you win us so much! Let you be proud, you will definitely have to face the Big Three level Heat in the East, and when you win them, you will be exhausted!

Durant is really not talking nonsense, because it is true that the current situation in the East is indeed a little messy compared to the West.

The first group in the East, the 76ers Heat Bulls, the three teams keep the top three, the Heat is Han Miao and Rose who have reached the league as a common goal, if according to the current ranking, the Bulls and the Heat will meet in the semifinals first, and then if the Heat break through, then they will most likely meet the 76ers in the East Finals.

This game is not good for the Heat, the Bulls and 76ers are currently the two strongest teams in the East except for the Heat, no matter who they are, it is difficult for the Heat to break through.

The only way is to overtake the 76ers in the final moment to take first place in the East, so that the two allied teams of the 76ers and the Bulls can have an early infighting.

It's a pity that the gap between them and the 76ers is not small, with 25 games, and looking at the recent form of the 76ers, it is difficult to catch up.

What's more, the Bulls and the Heat are only 1 game apart, and the Heat is likely to lose to the Bulls to become third in the East if they are not careful, which is the worst.

The second group in the east is also okay this year, although there is not much difference with the third group, but at present, it seems that it should be possible to hold the position. The second group of three teams is the Knicks, Pacers and Celtics.

This year, the Celtics are really not good, the Big Three are seriously degraded, Garnett can only average 158 per game now because of injuries and age, and there is no feeling of the all-powerful wolf king of the year, and Ray Allen and the team seem to have a more serious conflict, and now there are rumors that Ray Allen will leave the Celtics after the end of the season.

The Pacers have had a great year and have slapped quite a few pundits in the face. In the case of Granger's injury, Paul George turned into an all-round warrior, leading Hibbert, Stephenson and others, and led the team to the fifth place in the East, which made many people feel unbelievable, this is Paul George? Last year's No. 10 show was a late-blooming rhythm!

Of course, whenever you talk about this pick, you have to feel sorry for Hayward, because he is the closest No. 9 to George...... Now watching George prepare to evolve into a star this season, and Hayward, who is still diligently serving as the team's third offensive pick, really feels like he has been compared to others!

The Knicks are okay this year, the current fourth in the East, because Xiao Si is injured, so their lineup is not very uniform at the beginning of the season, fortunately they introduced the old demon Kidd and boxing champion Chandler last year, as an important member of the Mavericks to win the championship, the arrival of these two people has helped Anthony a lot, the Knicks can get fourth in the East this year, Anthony should thank them both.

The last two positions in the East have changed slightly, and the seventh belongs to the Hawks, who are an interesting team that can make the playoffs every year, but almost every year is a round-trip, and I don't know what they are thinking.

The current ownership of the eighth in the East is surprising, yes, it's actually a Bobcat?! Joe helps his family's team!

It's incredible, because the eighth, ninth, and thirteenth teams in the East have exactly the same record, but according to the relationship between each other, the Bobcats actually pressed the Pistons and the Wizards to become the eighth?!

Could it be that the Bobcats are going to make the playoffs this year?

Well, that's not impossible, after all, the Bobcats have also made the playoffs, although not many times.

However, if you make it to the first round of the playoffs, you will play the 76ers...... Then, it's better not to enter, send it to the door to be abused, why bother?
