The Strongest NBA Clubs In The NBA Eastern Conference
If you follow basketball, you know that this year’s season, up to this point, has been nothing short of awesome! Many of the teams that are always at the top of the standings have now become somewhat vulnerable and lots of the newer teams are making themselves known as worthy contenders. This means that the postseason cannot be predicted, thus the answer to just who is going to end up at the top is not known.
You just never know what could happen over the course of the playoffs, even though the Lakers are favored to come out on top in the Western Conference. Right now, the action in the Eastern Conference is pretty great to watch.
Have you been trying to figure out what teams in the Eastern Conference will actually end up in the NBA finals? Here we will discuss the three teams that have the best chance of making it there.
To start with, Orlando holds the #2 spot in the Eastern Conference and they went all the way to the finals in the NBA just last season. Now, it is true that Cleveland has them beat by seven games, but Orlando really has a good chance to get to the finals.
They just don’t seem to go at it with as much intensity as they did last year. There is still time for them to change this though, as long as they get busy with that right now.
Next we have Boston, the team that has two key players, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, who are dealing with injuries this season and, thus, are not 100 percent. There is also a rumor going around that Ray Allen might be traded. So, these injuries and the possible trade will indeed affect this team’s performance. This team, just two seasons ago, made it all the way and came away with the NBA title.
Lastly, the Cleveland Cavs have finally emerged and look to be playing their best basketball of the season. While they got off to a slow start, it looks like they’ve finally adjusted to the presence of Shaquille O’Neal in their lineup and they clearly look like the best in the East now. The challenge here will be breaking through in the playoffs and beating the Boston and Orlando teams that shut them down during each of the last two years.
