On March 24, the pattern of the East changed significantly, with the Heat at the top of the list losing two consecutive games, with teams such as the Celtics and the 76ers winning, making the competition between the top four in the East very fierce. The heat's current record is 47 wins, 26 losses and 64.4% of the winning percentage ranked first, behind the 45-27 76ers and Bucks, the fourth place is 46 wins 28 has achieved 5 consecutive wins Celtic, other teams Bulls, Cavaliers have fallen behind, so the competition between the top four is very fierce, the gap between these 4 teams is only 1.5 wins, it can be said that it is minimal.
Now there are two big suspense in the East, the first one is who wins the regular season East Championship? The second is who will play against the Nets in the first round? In the Eastern Conference champions, the Heat, Bucks, 76 and Celtics all have a chance, and although the Heat have an advantage in the record, they have not been in good shape recently, eating two consecutive losses while there is also infighting among Butler and others. The remaining 3 teams play the role of catch-up, their overall strength is very strong, and the recent performance is also good, if you want to counterattack successfully, you have a chance. Because the gap is not large, the regular season Eastern Conference champion will most likely be announced at the end.
So who's going to play against the Nets? What needs to be said about this topic is that the Nets who lost today have a 3.5-game gap between the sixth-place Cavaliers, and the team only has 9 games left, trying to catch up with the Cavaliers and Raptors, maintaining a super high winning rate on their own, while both opponents have dropped the chain, which is really difficult. Therefore, this season's Nets are very likely to play in the playoffs, the playoffs determine the seventh and eighth places in the East, and the first round of the playoffs is against the second and first places in the East, so the Nets that have a high probability of play-offs are very important to play against which strong team to play against.
Although the current Nets are deeply trapped in the playoff area, Irving has confirmed that he will resume playing at home from next week, which is important for the Nets, the 711 combination is not only in the guest body, the two's recent performance is also obvious to all. I believe that the current top four teams in the East are not willing to meet the powerful Nets in the first round of the playoffs, even if they have home advantage.
Other suspense in the East is the sixth place battle between the Cavaliers and the Raptors, etc. This season, there are more stars in the East, and the highlights are more sufficient, and I look forward to the performance of the next teams, and strive to achieve good results in the sprint period and achieve the goal.
