These are the top sixteen teams in the NBA going into the playoffs.
The Warriors
The Warriors are first on the list because … well… THEY ARE THE WARRIORS! They have KD, Curry, Klay, Draymond Green and Zaza Pachulia as their starters. Now that is a beast mode lineup. Before KD got injured the Warriors were averaging about 70 points in the first half. After that they were losing alot of games and scored about 40-60.
They beat the 76ers by 2 points. I mean what the heck. The 76ers aren’t even that good. The Houston Rockets aren’t that good of a team either and I don’t understand how they are third. I can see them making it to the playoffs. I feel like nobody is good only their Elite player James Harden. Fifth on the list is the Cleveland Cavaliers. One thing I don’t understand is the Cleveland Cavaliers have a worse record then the Houston Rockets and the Boston Celtics.
Cleveland Cavaliers
As I already mentioned the Rockets are not really that good. The Cleveland Cavaliers are defending NBA champs and they couldn’t even get top three in the NBA. They couldn’t even get the first seed in the Eastern Conference. I think the Cleveland Cavaliers are going to win the first round of playoffs against the Pacers but I think they will get eliminated in the second round.
Wizards
The Wizards are a good team but they only rank ninth. I was thinking they would be among the top five or sixth teams. They play amazing and have beaten the Warriors and went in to overtime against the Cavs but lost and in another game they beat the Cavs 127-115.
Grizzles
Then there is the Memphis Grizzles with the same record as the Atlanta Hawks. I kind of get that because the Atlanta Hawks aren’t really that good of a team and they don’t have their starting point guard Jeff Teague who went to the Indiana Pacers his hometown or their starting power forward Al Horford.
Al Horford could also play center with his size but he mostly plays power forward. He went to play with the Boston Celtics and now is their starting power forward. Lastly I think the Portland Trail Blazers deserve a better rank. There are some teams that the Wizards blew out like the Hawks but the Portland Trail Blazers lost to the Wizards in overtime by one 115-114. Wouldn’t that mean they are potentially better then the Atlanta Hawks. Do you agree with me on where the teams should go?
