I am so Accurate

In terms of playoff rankings, let's first look at the Eastern Conference.

With a stable performance, the Wizards ranked first in the Eastern Conference with a record of 65 wins and 17 wins.

This record broke the Wizards' best record in team history.

McGrady averaged 26.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game. He is one of the popular candidates for the MVP of the season.

Yao Ming averaged 24.2 points, 11.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.8 blocks per game.

The Celtics are second with a record of 61 wins and 21 losses.

After trading Garnett to form the Big Three lineup, the Celtics made great strides with few defeats.

The victory over the Lakers at the end of the season made the team's self-confidence reach an unprecedented level.

The Bulls ranked third with 56 wins and 26 losses.

To say that the biggest "dark horse" in the Eastern Conference this season is none other than the Chicagoans.

In his second season, Paul averaged 18.9 points, 11.2 assists and 2.3 steals per game.

Yi Jianlian also played steadily with 17.2 points and 8.8 rebounds.

Plus Peja, Hamilton, Chandler, Rasoul Butler and many other powerful players.

After they got along well, they played well in the second half of the season.

Looking back, their failure to get Kobe at the trade deadline is not necessarily a bad thing.

The Pistons are fourth in the East with 52 wins and 30 losses.

Although the loss of the big book made the team's inside defense inevitably decline, the thin camel is bigger than the horse, and the Pistons are still very competitive in the East.

Anthony's performance has also continued to improve, averaging 26.2 points per game this season.

The Magic rank fifth with 50 wins and 32 losses.

The addition of Finley raised the team's ceiling.

This record is placed in the past season, properly in the upper half or even in the top three.

But this season's Eastern Conference is destined to be "devil".

The Raptors are sixth with 45 wins and 37 losses.

The Raptors didn't make the playoffs last season.

But this season, the newly joined Garbajosa has shown excellent immediate combat power, and he is a perfect partner with Bosh.

The mid-season trade for Caron Butler has brought their strength to a higher level.

The Heat ranked seventh with 43 wins and 39 losses.

The core lineup of an NBA team has not changed for several years, and there are two results.

One is to make a blockbuster like the Warriors in history, and the other is to enter a weak period and start to decline in record, such as the Heat this season.

Riley will be ruthless at the trade deadline, and it has a lot to do with the Heat's record not advancing but retreating.

After getting Jermaine O'Neal in the trade, the Heat's record has improved slightly compared to the beginning of the season.

The Nets are eighth with a 41-41 record.

Jefferson's absence is a key to the Nets' weak record.

But it was also Jefferson who came back before the end of the season and helped the Nets successfully return to the playoffs.

The addition of Brand also made them more competitive in the playoffs.

Here we must focus on the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers traded Odom in the past, and originally wanted to make the playoffs.

But the running-in effect was not good, and the competitors were too strong. In the end, their record was only 35 wins, and they missed the playoffs.

At this moment, Cavaliers owner Gilbert has the heart to kill.

And everything in this world has to be blamed.

It can be foreseen that by the offseason, one of Bargnani, Milicic and Odom will definitely go.

As the ranking is determined, the matchup in the East will also be released.

This is probably the most suspenseful playoff game in the Eastern Conference in NBA history, because no team can say that it is 100% sure to win.

Wizards vs Nets

Although the Nets have a poor record, after Jefferson's comeback, the team also has a new trident lineup of Carter, Jefferson, and Brand.

If the Wizards want to beat them, it will take a lot of thought.

Celtics VS Heat

The same situation is also faced by Bostonians.

The Big Three lineup is unprecedentedly strong, but neither Wade nor O'Neal is a nobody.

Especially on the stage of the playoffs, the super giant's influence on the game will be more obvious.

Bulls VS Raptors

This is also a set of very suspenseful matchups in the East.

Although the Bulls are much better in terms of record, the Raptors' trio is obviously more experienced.

Especially for Paul, as a sophomore against the veteran Baron Davis.

This is also a huge challenge for him.

Pistons vs Magic

Well, the Bulls and Raptors are suspenseful, but this matchup is the most suspenseful.

Without a big book, the Pistons' competitiveness in the playoffs will definitely decline, while the Magic's strength has improved significantly this season.

It's a battle between established powerhouses and upstarts, and no one knows which side will come out on top.

Let's look at the west side again.

The Lakers rank first in the league with 70 wins and 12 losses!

Although it is a pity that they failed to break the Bulls' 72-win record, the performance of the Lakers this season is not bad.

Those cliche reasons, O'Neal's weight loss, Hill's joining, Sun Hao's defense, Millsap and Lu Wei's stable performance.

These reasons have contributed to the Lakers playing a brilliant season.

Sun Hao averaged 30.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and 8.6 assists per game, winning the league scoring title for the second time in a row!

Moreover, his assists per game also ranked fifth in the league, following Nash, Deron, Kidd and Paul and others.

Because last season he averaged 33.3 points per game, 81 points in a single game, 62 in three quarters and a series of crazy scoring performances.

The team's feeling towards Sun Hao this season is that he is... paddling.

But in fact, because of the improvement of Sun Hao's passing ability, he no longer needs to rely on soaring points to win the game as before.

Or you can also understand that his scoring is more stable than last season.

The Nuggets are second in the West with a 60-22 record.

On the changes that a role player brings to a team.

The addition of Delonte West has done more for the Nuggets than expected.

His style of play matches James and Iverson too well, and he also liberated JR Smith by the way.

West has also cooperated with James in history, and the season when he started the team was also the peak season in history when the Cavaliers scored 66 wins.

A good horse with a good saddle is probably the easiest way to describe West's influence on the Nuggets.

This is also the first time in James' career that he has truly entered the championship.

The Nuggets' summer deal proved to be a success.

And their luck this season is obviously better than last season.

In fact, everyone can see that the two insiders of the Nuggets are not aligned with O'Neal, and they are still at the top level in the league.

So they have a good chance to get in front of the Lakers, and then see how much Haywood can limit O'Neal.

Even if the Lakers are lucky and the Lakers overturned in the previous game, they may reach the finals.

The Suns are third in the Western Conference with a record of 59 wins and 23 losses.

Although the mid-term trading turmoil caused the Suns' record to fluctuate for a while, the team's performance in the regular season rarely disappoints.

The question remains, how far can they go in the playoffs?

The Spurs are fourth in the Western Conference with a record of 58 wins and 24 losses.

The Spurs and the Heat are two completely opposite situations. The longer the GDP plays together, the stronger the tacit understanding.

Coupled with Stephen Jackson who "robbed" on the trade deadline, it is even more powerful.

The Clippers are fifth in the Western Conference with a record of 54 wins and 28 losses.

The tacit understanding between Kobe and Gasol is surprisingly good.

Unlike the Cavaliers, coach Dunleavy soon mentioned Matt Barnes to the starting lineup after he found that Harrington was not suitable for starting.

Facts have also proved that the judgment of the Clippers management is correct. By Kobe's side, Barnes is particularly focused on playing.

His three-pointers, defense, and even his passion for the game are all positively affecting the Clippers.

And they are in excellent condition, finishing with a wave of 8 consecutive victories at the end of the season.

The Mavericks are sixth in the Western Conference with a record of 54 wins and 28 losses.

The turbulence at the beginning of the season caused the Mavericks' record to plummet, but the team quickly entered the state after the four-team trade.

Just because Josh Howard suffered an injury at the end of the season, the team's record has some ups and downs, which puts them at a disadvantage in ranking.

The Jazz ranked seventh in the Western Conference with 42 wins and 40 losses.

This Jazz team has Okur, Kirilenko, and Boozer, but there is no Deron.

Someone will definitely ask, who is the Jazz in charge now?

Felton!

At the time of the draft, the three major point guards were Paul, Deron, and Felton.

Although two years have passed, Felton's talent seems to be a little worse than the other two, but his strength is still there.

He averaged 14.4 points and 7.4 assists per game, and the pick-and-roll with Boozer is also a bit like Utah's double evil.

The Hornets ranked eighth in the Western Conference with 39 wins and 43 losses.

You read that right, there was an obvious break in the Western Conference record after sixth.

Even the eighth Hornets won less than 40 games.

Some people may ask, has this happened before in the NBA?

Yes, and more than once.

In the 2003-04 season in history, the Celtics had 36 wins and entered the playoffs.

And earlier, in the 1994-95 season, the Celtics entered the playoffs with a record of 35 wins.

Both of these are non-shrinking seasons, and one thing they have in common is that the strong teams are too strong.

This is easy to understand, because from a mathematical point of view, the total victory and defeat of an alliance is fixed.

The strong team has a good record, and the weak team has a poor record.

The record of the strong team is surprisingly good, and the record of the weak team is naturally worse, and even more teams have poor records.

What's more, the quality of next year's draft is high, and many teams have started to perform poorly early, which has led to this grand occasion in the league.

Some people may ask, such a good opportunity, why don't some teams take the opportunity to make the playoffs?

Of course, the Jazz and Hornets have already taken the opportunity to rush into the playoffs.

As for those who are not bad, they are really good this season, such as the Trail Blazers, Warriors, Grizzlies...

And from the records of the East and West, you will find that the overall strength of the East has surpassed that of the West this season.

The pattern of strong west and weak east has been completely broken this season.

Let's look at the matchup in the west:

Lakers VS Hornets

This Hornets team is very different from the Hornets team in history.

The biggest highlight of this round of the series is the matchup between Delong and Sun Hao.

In the second season of his career, Deron averaged 18.9 points and 9.3 assists per game.

Although the team's overall strength is not as good as the Bulls, his performance and Paul can also be collectively called "05 point guard double wall".

The disparity in strength, the goal of the Hornets must be to win.

For the Lakers, what they have to do is to mobilize the state of the game in the first round.

Although the problem will not be too big in the first round, in the second round, whether it is against the Spurs or the Clippers, the intensity of the game will be greatly improved.

If they can't adjust their state, they are likely to encounter a blow in the second round.

Nuggets VS Jazz

The strength of the Nuggets is the strongest in recent years, but the Jazz are not as weak as imagined.

In particular, Kirilenko's defensive ability is at the same level as Artest, and may even be better.

James will face the biggest defensive challenge of his career.

Suns VS Lone Ranger

Although the Suns failed to get reinforcements through the trade, but Nash, Marion, Stoudemire, Diaw, these players are competitive together.

The Lone Ranger team also got the most suitable lineup for them through Kobe's trade.

The only worry is that Howard's absence will put the Mavericks at a certain disadvantage in the match.

Spurs VS Clippers

This will be the most suspenseful matchup in the West.

Even if you ask Sun Hao, he doesn't know which team will be their opponent in the second round.

Because both sides have advantages and disadvantages.

For the Spurs, they were the championship team this season in history. When Finley was replaced by Jackson, the strength did not change much.

On the Clippers side, Kobe is known as the Spurs killer, especially after changing his jersey number, his style of play has changed a lot.

This kind of confrontation, without 6 or 7 games, is indistinguishable.

...

It is worth mentioning that there is a very dangerous signal in this year's playoffs.

Before the game started, key players from the East and West had missed the game due to injuries.

As mentioned earlier, Josh Howard of the Mavericks, and Nelson on the Wizards has already raised his exemption card.

Before the playoffs even started, they could already feel the tragic atmosphere.

As in previous years, before the start of the playoffs, the league announced the first batch of season awards: Most Improved Award, Best Sixth Man and Best Head Coach.

This year's Most Improved Award went to Kevin Martin of the Kings.

He averaged 20+ points per game for the Kings this season and has become the new team leader.

Domestic fans, including Sun Hao, have an impression of him.

This one is most likely the protagonist of Harden's late-night research video.

It is worth mentioning that Lu Wei of the Lakers also received nearly 10% of the votes.

Lu Wei averaged 10.8 points per game with the Lakers this season, a great improvement and has the potential to become the sixth man.

The best sixth man was won by Barbosa of the Suns.

He regretted losing to Miller last year, but this year he averaged 18.1 points per game.

It is also worth mentioning that JR Smith received more than 20% of the votes in the sixth man selection, narrowly losing to Barbosa.

After entering the bench, Smith averaged 15.2 points per game, and his performance was also very impressive.

Finally, the best head coach.

You may not believe it, because the best head coach this year is Phil Jackson!

Zen master, after leading the team to 70 wins, finally won the second best head coach of his career! !
