NBA teams have completed 80 regular season games, with only two games left, and the Celtics are currently 62-18 to lock up the first place in the league early, becoming the only team to achieve 60 wins this season. The 76ers have won six straight games after Embiid's return from injury, and are only one step away from the top six, and are working hard to get through to the playoffs.

The Clippers have the initiative, but they haven't locked in home-court advantage yet. In this round of Eastern Europe vs. Haka Pepper, the stars are full. After all, the playoffs are still the stage for superstars, and their performance will determine the ultimate fate of the team.

Although Wei Shao is extremely brave, but the real decision on how high the Clippers can go is the Big Three, Harden, Xiaoka and George, the youngest of these three is Xiaoka, but he is also 32 years old, Harden is the oldest 34 years old, the three veterans are about to enter the end of their careers, this season may be the biggest opportunity to achieve the goal. With 2 championships and 2 FMVPs in his hands, he has a lot of luck in addition to his own strength, while Harden and George have already made a lot of money, just to win the championship trophy that symbolizes the supreme glory of the player.
Although the Clippers were founded relatively late, and the best record in team history was only one Western Conference final, their desire for a championship has never diminished, and the owner Ballmer is a die-hard basketball fan who will attend the game whenever he has the opportunity. They waited too long for the finals and even the championship. Paul Griffin and Jordan Jr., the task that they couldn't accomplish, now falls on their shoulders, can they withstand the pressure to achieve the ultimate goal?

Previously, the Mavericks were still in the play-offs, but they won 18-2 in the last 20 games, and are currently winning 5 in a row, directly locking the top 5 in the West. This season is the first full season for the Eastern European duo, averaging 59.5 points per game, the strongest duo in the league. Doncic averaged 33.9 points per game, 3.5 points ahead of the second place, and there is no doubt that he will win the league's leading scoring title, the league's highest scorer, and not only that, but with 9.8 assists, he ranks second in the league behind Haliburton. Doncic, who can not only score, but also pass, is very versatile, and has received great praise from Nowitzki, the best team in team history, and owner Cuban, and is one of the MVP contenders this season.
Irving has changed significantly, after coming to the Mavericks, he is more willing to share the ball, and do a good job in the role of the team's second leader, although he still insists on his beliefs, fortunately, he is not a demon this season, which is good news for the Mavericks, with the blessing of Irving, the Mavericks already have the strength to fight the Clippers, and even the Western Conference championship and championship.
In this round of competition, which team do you support to take the lead in winning 4 games and advance to the next round, welcome to comment and discuss.
