The 12-13 season has entered the final stage, which is also the most critical stage.
The 16 teams participating in the playoffs have all been announced. Of course, most of them do not have the ability to make it to the end, and are at most cannon fodder.
The Heat and the Pacers are firmly in the top two positions in the East, and the other six teams that have obtained playoff tickets are the Knicks, Nets, Bulls, Hawks, Celtics, and Bucks.
The former champion team is indeed lonely, and the Celtics barely keep their playoff spot.
In the first round of the playoffs, the Pacers' opponent is the Celtics, which is also a direct dialogue between the rising star and the former wave.
The pattern of the West is also interesting. The top five teams are not too far apart. The best record is the Thunder led by Durant and Turtle, followed by the Spurs, Nuggets, Clippers, and Grizzlies. The Grizzlies are only 4 wins behind the Thunder.
The dividing line of the Western Conference was thus opened. The Warriors ranked sixth with a record of 47 wins and 35 losses. This was also the first time that the Warriors returned to the playoffs after many years.
The last time the Warriors made the playoffs was in the 2006-2007 season, when the Warriors created the "black eight miracle".
Fans do not expect the Warriors to be able to defeat the strong again, after all, the Warriors have already met their expectations by getting a playoff ticket.
They also believe that under the leadership of the young leader Curry, the Warriors will definitely get better in the future.
The Lakers' record is 45 wins and 37 losses, barely getting a playoff ticket, let alone home advantage, which is really surprising.
Many people think that this luxurious "F4 combination" will face failure like ten years ago.
I am afraid it is not as good as the "F4 combination" at the beginning of the century? After all, the Lakers at that time made it to the finals, and this year's Lakers really do not have the potential to break out of the West.
The Rockets grabbed the last playoff spot in the West, which made the originally mediocre match between the first and the eighth more interesting.
Rockets vs. Thunder!
In the first season after leaving the old club, the two met in the playoffs!
Ha Sandi will fight against the eldest and second brothers alone.
…
The remaining 14 teams officially ended their journey this season and started a long offseason.
Although the transition time from the end of the regular season to the opening game of the playoffs is not long, only two days, this will not affect the overall state of the Pacers.
After all, He Feng, Paul George, West and other main players took turns to rest three games in advance, and they have now rested for ten days, which is completely enough.
Besides, their opponent is the Celtics, who are "sunset in the west", so the pressure is not too great.
It is said that the young are afraid of the strong, and this is also true on the court.
Garnett and Pierce, the two giants, are old after all, and their influence on the game is far less than before.
Rondo's role also needs the cooperation of his teammates to be maximized, but if his teammates are in average condition, his pass will seem useless.
The Pacers, who have the advantage of home court, really have no pressure. They have already secured the lead in the first quarter and maintained it until the end.
In the end, the Pacers won the Celtics 103:81 without bloodshed and got off to a good start.
Garnett played for 37 minutes, 4 of 12 shots, 8 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. He no longer has the style of an all-around power forward in the past.
Pierce was defended by He Feng throughout the game, and finally handed over a dismal performance of 5 of 15 shots and 1 of 7 three-pointers.
Jeff Green's 26 points and Bradley's 17 points became the Celtics' fig leaf.
Garnett and Pierce's role in the team is really getting smaller and smaller.
Although Celtics General Manager Ainge was not present, he was also paying attention to the game at any time.
He impatiently turned off the TV, his face solemn, and thought with his forehead in his hand.
The Pacers' big win over the Celtics was completely expected by the fans.
The victory was a foregone conclusion, so they had to celebrate. The cheers of the fans resounded throughout the Pacers' arena.
