The final battle for the Playoffs

 Silvia Esteban, Corbera

The end of the final season of the 2012 playoffs is near. There is two games left for each team and many teams will let their stars left while others will practice tanking. They know almost all the pairings for the first round of the 2012 finals of the NBA.

The last teams classified are:

From the East: Chicago, Miami, Indiana, Boston, Orkando, New York and Atlanta.

From the West: OKC, San Antonio, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Memphis, Denver and Dallas.

Since last week, New York and Orlando ranked by the East and Memphis, Denver and Dallas by the Western Conference.

Actually there’s two teams in each conference fighting for the last place to access the playoffs.

In the east Conference there is Philadelphia and Milwaukee. For the Sixers there is still one game against the Nets, and a second one against the Bucks. On the side of Milwaukee there is still one game left against the Toronto Raptors and another one against the exteam of Allen Iverson. If the two teams won the first game against the Sixers, they will classify because they have another two winnings. In case they defeat Philadeplhia and the victory of the Canadian team, we advise you to see the last match on April 25, because we will see an excelent playoff game. We’re sure the two teams will use all their weapons to try to get the final spot.

In the Western Conference we have Utah and Phoenix. The day 24 these two teams will face to face, and this match is almost crucial to define the ranked team. Then for the Jazz there will be a game against the Portland Trailblazers, while the Suns will play with the San Antonio Spurs. The match against the Spurs is in theory the most difficult one, but at this point in the competition it’s possible that from the texans it will play the “Team B”. Anything can happen, and the match between the two teams the day 24 is vital.

If the classification doesn’t change, we would have the following pairings:

- East:

Chicago – Philadelphia

Miami – New York

Indiana – Orlando

Boston – Atlanta

- West:

San Antonio – Utah

OKC – Dallas

LA Lakers – Denver

LA Clippers – Memphis

We can say with no doubt that this season will be one of the most interesting ones.
