The Top Basketball Contenders In The NBA Eastern Conference
If you follow basketball, you know that this year’s season, up to this point, has been nothing short of awesome! Many of the teams that are always at the top of the standings have now become somewhat vulnerable and lots of the newer teams are making themselves known as worthy contenders. This means that the postseason cannot be predicted, thus the answer to just who is going to end up at the top is not known.
As far as the Western Conference goes, it is the Lakers who appear to be destined to win; but, keep in mind that during the playoffs you just can’t predict what will happen. The Eastern Conference is heating up and will definitely be closely watched.
Are you wondering just what Eastern teams are going to go all the way to the NBA finals? Let’s talk about the three teams that have the best chance of doing this.
First, there are the Orlando Magic. You may be wondering why they’re mentioned first here, because they don’t have the best record in the Eastern Conference by any means, as they’ve won seven less games than Cleveland has. However, they have the second best record in the East and they did make the NBA finals last season.
What they need to make improvements to is how effectively they are playing this year, as opposed to last year. Yes, there is still enough time for them to improve, but they must take action right now.
Another implosion is impending in Boston. The team that won the NBA title two seasons ago looks to be in a state of turmoil. Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce have both been hit with injuries through the season and neither looks to be at full speed. Then, the team is rumored to be shopping Ray Allen around, which would break up the strong core that brought this team a championship.
And finally, the team that is really having the best season so far is Cleveland. Yes, they started off kind of slow, but, with Shaquille O’Neal a part of the lineup, they seem to be the best team as of right now. Their focus will be to beat Orlando and Boston, two teams that defeated them in the previous two years.
