On April 8, Beijing time, the NBA league arranged a total of 13 games, of which the Eastern team participated in 9 games, the specific situation is as follows: the Cavaliers lost to the Clippers 118-120, the Heat lost to the Pacers 115-117, the Celtics defeated the Trail Blazers 124-107, the Hornets lost to the Thunder 118-121, the Bulls lost to the Magic 98-113, the Wizards lost to the Raptors 122-130, the Knicks beat the Bucks 122-109, the 76ers beat the Spurs 133-126, and the Nets lost to the Kings 77-107。 As a result, the pattern of the Wild East is chaotic again, which can be simply summarized as: the 76ers overtook the Heat, the second became a hot potato, the Bucks locked the playoffs, the Cavaliers conceded the third, and the Green Army sat on the mountain and watched the tigers.
The top 10 in the east have long been decided, but local changes are endless. After the Emperor's comeback, he led the 76ers to win consecutive battles, facing the Western Vice Squad Spurs, the Emperor was exempted from the battle card due to knee injury management, the two teams were evenly matched, and fought hard until double overtime to separate the winners, Wembanyama scored 33 points + 18 rebounds + 6 assists + 7 blocks, Maxey slashed 52 points + 5 rebounds + 7 assists + 2 steals, the 76ers won the game without danger, and won 5 consecutive victories. In another game, the Heat and the Pacers ushered in a key card battle, the Heat fought back after falling behind by 22 points at one point, but unfortunately it still fell short, and lost by 2 points! As a result, the 76ers' record came to 44-35, surpassing the Heat to rise to 7th place in the East, the Heat relegated to 8th place in the East, and the 76ers were only 1 win behind the Pacers (45-34) who were 6th in the East.
I don't know if the 76ers or the Heat will come from behind to catch up with the Pacers, but one thing is for sure, the two Eastern Conference giants won't be on the shore at the same time, at least one will stay in the play-in tournament, and there is a good chance that they will start the playoffs with the No. 7 seed in the East. In addition to the Green Army, the 76ers with the Great and the Heat with Butler Spo are the most terrifying opponents in the East, which also makes the second place in the East a hot potato! The Bucks have lost to the Wizards, Grizzlies and Raptors in succession, and many people suspect that they don't want to stay in the second place in the East to face the 76ers or the Heat in the first round. In the Knicks vs Bucks game, the Bucks once again suffered a reversal by the remnants of the Knicks with an 11-point lead, and the taste of acting became stronger and stronger. It is worth mentioning that with the Heat losing to the Pacers and the Magic taking the Bulls, the Bucks officially locked up a playoff ticket!
The Bucks are second in the East, but they are still in second place in the East with 47 wins and 31 losses after four consecutive losses. It's not that the bucks don't "work hard" enough, it's that the knights don't cooperate with the bucks at all. In the Cavaliers VS Clippers game, the Cavaliers collapsed with a lead of 26 points at one point, but they watched Wei Shao and General Qiao lead the team to complete an epic reversal, which is sad and suspicious! As a result, the Cavaliers' record came to 46-33, and they not only had no sense of No. 2 in the East, but also directly gave up the No. 3 position in the East and the home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs, falling to No. 5 in the East in one go, with the Magic rising to No. 3 in the East with 46-32 and the Knicks rising to No. 4 in the East with 46-33. I have to say that the Cavaliers' move can be regarded as killing three birds with one stone, avoiding both the 76ers and the Heat, and possibly meeting the young Magic or the Knicks in the first round, why not?
The eastern heroes have their own ghosts, but the Green Army overlooks all living beings with an absolute advantage, taking turns to rest the stars while sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight. In the Celtics vs Trail Blazers game, Tatum was rested due to injury, and the Celtics easily won by 17 points. After this game, the Green Army's record has reached 62-16, a full 15 wins ahead of the Bucks, who are second in the East! What is this concept? The Timberwolves (54-24) in the first place in the West are only 11 wins ahead of the Warriors (43-35) who are 10th in the West! Who can stop the Green Army? This may be the main melody of the Eastern Conference playoffs! What do you think about this? Leave me a comment to discuss.
