With the regular season coming to an end, we are preparing for yet another heated playoff season. The Spurs are most likely going to end up being the top seed of the West while Miami and Indiana will be battling for the top seed of the East; however, it looks so far that it’ll be another rematch for the heated rivalry of the Spurs and the Heat (considering that Indiana gets eliminated early in the Playoffs).
Tony Parker and company are coming out of an aggressive and outstanding season breaking their franchise record win streak with 19 wins in a row, but it was eventually hit by lightning from the hungry Thunder. Will that be enough to pave their road for a championship this season? The Heat are looking for a 3-peat, which in-fact, is highly mentally exhausting, and Dwayne Wade is not getting any younger. If both teams are able to make it to the finals (again), get ready for war folks. This will be a battle worth waiting for.
Now on the other hand, we have the underdogs. With the season coming to an end, Dallas and Phoenix are fighting hard to ensure their spots in the playoffs, as well as Atlanta and New York. This will be an exciting week of basketball to watch teams clash hard against each other to ensure their playoff seed! So don’t miss out because the battles aren’t over until they are, well, over; however, once the playoffs start, whoever stays put on the eigth seed will have a really, really tough stretch, in both the Eastern and Western conferences.
