The Race Toward The NBA Finals In The East

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.

As far as the Western Conference goes, it is the Lakers who appear to be destined to win; but, keep in mind that during the playoffs you just can’t predict what will happen. The Eastern Conference is heating up and will definitely be closely watched.

Are you wondering just what Eastern teams are going to go all the way to the NBA finals? Let’s talk about the three teams that have the best chance of doing this.

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.

Another implosion is impending in Boston. The team that won the NBA title two seasons ago looks to be in a state of turmoil. Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce have both been hit with injuries through the season and neither looks to be at full speed. Then, the team is rumored to be shopping Ray Allen around, which would break up the strong core that brought this team a championship.

Last but not least, the team that is playing fantastic basketball this season is Cleveland. Shaquille O’Neal is a part of that lineup and, with a slow start behind them, they are the #1 team in the Eastern Conference right now. They will need to continue their fabulous playing and go on to defeat Orlando and Boston, the two teams that have defeated them during the prior two years.
