Today's NBA regular season officially came to an end, with the regular season ranking determined, the playoffs of the game map is also released, the Warriors' first round of the Nuggets, the Nets Bucks are expected to meet again in the second round, the final ranking and playoff game chart is as follows:
The top six teams in the Eastern Conference are (straight into the playoffs): Heat, Celtics, Bucks, 76ers, Raptors, Bulls; the four teams that need to play in the playoffs are the Nets, Cavaliers, Hornets, and Hawks.
Unlike previous years, this year's Competition in the East is very fierce, with a record of 51 wins and 31 losses from the second to the fourth, the Celtics and Bucks have the same record against the hand-to-hand and division records, and the Celtics can only lock in second place with a win rate against the Eastern Conference playoff team. In addition, the four teams in the playoffs are only one game apart in total, and the Nets have moved from tenth to seventh with a wave of four consecutive wins.
The two games currently confirmed in the East are the 76ers vs Raptors and bucks vs Bulls. And if the Nets win in the first game of the playoffs, then the first round opponent is the Celtics, if the second game wins the first round opponent is the Heat, if the Bucks and nets both advance in the first round, then they will meet again in the second round.
The top six teams in the Western Conference are (straight to the playoffs): Suns, Grizzlies, Warriors, Lone Rangers, Jazz, Nuggets; the four teams that need to play in the playoffs are the Timberwolves, Clippers, Pelicans, and Spurs.
The gap in the West's record is relatively large, the Suns are riding the dust, the third to sixth is not officially determined until today, and in the play-off area, the seventh Timberwolves are 12 wins ahead of the tenth Spurs, which is indeed a bit unfair to the Timberwolves, but the league has to set up play-offs for the sake of ticket revenue.
The two games currently confirmed in the West are the Lone Rangers vs Jazz and the Warriors vs Nuggets. The Warriors chose to play with the Nuggets in the first round, and Kerr also saw the Nuggets' weaknesses, with Murray and Porter absent and inaccurate outside shooting. What about the Nuggets' big killer "About Teacher"? He is too comprehensive, take the "three doubles" like a probe bag, I am afraid to break the Warriors inside line!
