Standing pretty old

Chapter 267 The playoffs are coming

Personal data is important, but for a team with aspirations, the team's record is the most important criterion.

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

In the Eastern Conference, the one to eight players entering the playoffs are: Boston Celtics, Atlanta Hawks, Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic, Cleveland Cavaliers, Washington Wizards, Toronto Raptors, Philadelphia 76ers.

According to the score, the situation of the first round matchup in the Eastern Conference should be like this.

Eastern half:
Boston Celtics (1) vs. Philadelphia 76ers (8).

This should be a showdown without any suspense.

The Celtics have collected the BIG3 this season, and few teams can prevent them from winning.

With Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen all making corresponding sacrifices, this is a frighteningly strong team.

The record of 65 wins and 17 losses can already explain everything.

In contrast, after the Philadelphia 76ers lost their AI, they have completely entered the era of small AI. Andre Iguodala played in Andre Miller, Willie Green, Louis Williams, Sarah With the help of Muel Dalembert, Kyle Korver and others, they also successfully entered the playoffs.

However, compared with the top spot in the East, it is still difficult to have a chance of reversal, and the black eight is only theoretically possible.

The media predicts that the Celtics will eliminate their opponents 4:1 and enter the next round.

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

This should be regarded as a battle of focus. Sparks finally ushered in a helper this season. Mr. Billionaire Rashad Lewis Cheng emptied to help Warcraft evacuate the inside line, plus Turkoglu, Nelson, Bogans , Redick and other shooters, they scored 51 wins and 31 losses in the regular season.

Under normal circumstances, there is no doubt that they will reach the second round of the playoffs. However, when their opponent becomes the Cleveland Cavaliers who LeBron James said is leading, everything is unknown.

James led the Cavaliers to a record of 43 wins and 39 losses this season. Whether the Cavaliers are good or not depends on James alone. If the players stand up, Cleveland also has a chance to reach the second round.

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

Eastern lower half:
Atlanta Hawks (2) VS Toronto Raptors (7).

What a battle of beasts.

As the biggest dark horse this season, the Eagles became the second team in the league to win 60 wins.

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

However, "Dragon King" Bosh will never give up so easily. TJ*Ford, Jose Calderon, Kapono, and the Italian No. They had a record of 41 wins and 41 losses during the season.

The Raptors still have the ability to win one or two games. A reprieve is better than a death sentence. What if there is a turning point!

The media predicts that the Atlanta Hawks will beat the Raptors 4:1 to advance.

Detroit Pistons (3) vs. Washington Wizards (6)

After losing Ben Wallace, the Pistons have been going downhill. They lost to the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals last season. Lost to the rising sun of the Eagles.

The record of 58 wins and 24 losses is still ranked third in the East, which is also the third record in the league. The relatively old lineup has become less competitive, and they should start the reconstruction mode as soon as possible.

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

Speaking of the Washington Wizards, we have to talk about Arenas. The general only played 13 games this season due to injuries. He did return from injury before the playoffs, but it is doubtful how much success he will have left. .

Jamison and Butler are indeed very powerful, and they still brought the Wizards into the playoffs even though the team did not have a boss.But it is too difficult to reach the second round.

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

The situation in the east is roughly like this, while the situation in the west is full of tragedy and tragedy, from February to April.

From the perspective of record, the record of the top 6 teams in the playoffs is too close. The Lakers ranked first and the Suns ranked sixth are only 2 wins away.

The Western Conference playoff list 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 make it to the playoffs, and it came true.

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

This record can be ranked among the top five in the East, but in the fiercely competitive West, they can only go home to fish.

The Lakers should have breathed a sigh of relief. Since the Mavericks were blacked out last season, the Warriors have become the last team that high-ranking teams want to meet.Who knows if these guys will suddenly have a convulsion and do something.

Upper West Division:
Los Angeles Lakers (1) VS Denver Nuggets (8).

The 57-25 Lakers are obviously more complete than the Nuggets in terms of lineup.

Ever since Kobe got his wife, his life has been full of sweetness. This pair of love... partners are more harmonious than the golden guns of the Nuggets no matter how you look at it.

The media predicted that the Lakers would beat the Nuggets 4:1 and enter the second round.

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

The Jazz's record of 54 wins and 28 losses is actually worse than the Rockets' 55 wins and 27 losses, but with their advantage of having the top spot in the division, they finally automatically won a top four seat.

The Rockets who have lost Yao Ming basically do not see the possibility of a reversal, but the super long winning streak in the season still gives them extra points.

The Jazz are destined to appear as the villain of the Chinese fans, and this year is no exception.

The media predicts that the Jazz will eliminate the Rockets 4:2 and advance to the second round.

Western lower half:
New Orleans Hornets (2) vs. Dallas Mavericks (7).

The Hornets have risen rapidly this season, second only to the Eagles in the East, and finally achieved an excellent record of 56 wins and 26 losses.

The Mavericks have never come out of the shadow of being hacked last season. Although the record of 51 wins and 31 losses is not bad, it is not easy for them to re-emerge after they hurt their character last season.

After Kidd came, it did not have an immediate effect. It is not that simple to defeat the league's upstart Hornets.

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

The media predicts that the Hornets will end the battle with 6 games and enter the second round.

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

What a battle of offense and defense!
Why did the Suns send away Marion and usher in O'Neal? In the final analysis, it was to deal with the Western Conference team with a strong inside line.

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

4:3, the Spurs will narrowly win and advance to the second round. At this time, the predictions given by the mainstream media.

The battle is imminent, and the playoffs are coming!
