With a little over 20 games remaining in the NBA Season, the playoffs are quickly approaching. At the East standpoint, Cleveland sits at the top ranking while an opinionated surprise with Toronto at two and Boston at three, Hopefully they are able to sustain that positioning. The other seeding teams won't be relatively vital come playoff time that wasn't mentioned aside from the fourth seed, Miami Heat. The acquisition of Joe Johnson after his buyout from the Brooklyn Nets proved that their ready to contend, even with Chris Bosh out with injury speculates. One major disappointment from the East is the New York Knicks. Hopes may have been fairly propelled in the beginning, voluntarily being oblivious to the experience and chemistry the would lack. Carmelo Anthony may have to change his mindset soon, for all of our sake.

The West is a thunderous standing, no pun. Although they do stand at three in the seeding, OKC last three games have proved that there is trouble with their executing methods. They shall cruise with their position, but let's hope they find what it takes and finish in the crunch when it really matters. Spurs at two have been quietly unrecognized. We should all highlight that the Spurs have yet to lose double digit games either. Now will they uphold that? Definitely not, but it is worth some respecting. Los Angeles Clippers at the fourth seed has proved to be glue with Blake Griffin out, They acquired Jeff Green before the trade from the Memphis Grizzlies, giving up Lance Stephenson in the process.The remainder of the west are in question (Memphis, Dallas, Portland, Houston) in pertains to efficiency in what they'll do come playoff times, they appear to be fillers when they top seed belongs to the Golden State Warriors. With a record of 55-5 right now, they are on pace to do the unexpected. The question of will it be accomplished still leads to baffling mumbles, but we all know they will be prepared will the playoffs emerge.
