This season's regular season has basically come to an end, and the teams in the East and West that will enter the playoffs have been basically determined. The only thing that remains uncertain is which teams will participate in the play-offs. For those teams that make the playoffs, it's hard to say who will win the championship. Although the Celtics are the first team to make the playoffs this season, fans and the media are still not optimistic that they can win the championship, mainly because the Celtics often lack a lot of experience in some key tough games. And they are also very poor in their ability to withstand stress.
If you want to say the most powerful and promising team to win a championship this season, it is the Nuggets. The Nuggets didn't show as much dominance in the regular season as they did last season, mainly because they have undergone a lot of personnel changes this season. This season, the Nuggets are missing a lot of bench bandits in the bench lineup, and even if the Nuggets want to win the championship in the end, it will be difficult for them to win the championship, but, judging from their current record and state, there should not be much suspense in entering the Western Conference Finals.
The only one who can pose a threat to the Celtics in the Eastern Conference is the Bucks led by Antetokounmpo and Lillard. However, it is surprising that they are in the last 5 games. The form is really bad, they only have a record of 1 win and 4 losses, and even lost to the bottom few teams in the East in a row, for such a Bucks, fans do not see any possibility and hope for them to compete for the championship. This season has been a breakdown for the Bucks, and in order to win another championship they got Lillard, hoping to form the best offensive duo in the league. But Lillard's biggest problem is that he puts all his energy and focus on offense, which can only be used by other players to take on the corresponding defensive duties.
And after Lillard came to the Bucks this season, his performance was also good and bad, and his state was extremely unstable. The only win the Bucks have won in their last five games was against the Celtics, but the Celtics opted to rest in that game, and the core brother is still injured. So to sum up, judging from the current performance of the Bucks, it is really difficult for them to win the championship. No wonder, there are also many fans mocking them, with your current state, why are you competing for the championship?
