Top Ten NBA Teams Coming into the 2019 NBA Playoffs
The Playoffs are here. The packed stadiums, the clutch moments, the shocking moments, the fan energy, the Larry O'Brien Trophy, the press conferences...everything about the Playoffs are entertaining. Let's look at the teams in the Playoffs. Not teams outside playoffs count (sorry LeBron.)
The Golden State Warriors are an American professional basketball team based in San Francisco. The Warriors compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the league's Western Conference Pacific Division.
Location: San Francisco, CA
Arena/Stadium: Chase Center
Head coach: Steve Kerr
NBA championships: 2018, 2017, 2015, 1975, 1956, 1947
Owners: Joseph S. Lacob (majority), Peter Guber You guys should all know how I feel about the Warriors. I hate them. I love KD, I love Curry, I love Klay, but I hate them on the Warriors. I think this will be the year they go down.
Highly deserves this spot best team ever
They are gods goats and batter the boston
They will beat the Rockets no bias at all
The Toronto Raptors are a Canadian professional basketball team based in Toronto, Ontario. The Raptors compete in the National Basketball Association, as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Atlantic Division. This team has been so underrated. They have a great defense and a great defense. They match up well against every team. They also have a great bench and to me they look very, very scary.
The Milwaukee Bucks are an American professional basketball franchise based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Bucks compete in the National Basketball Association as a member team of the Eastern Conference Central Division. The Bucks are the best team in the NBA through the regular season. I don't get why people just shrug them off against the Warriors. They have the best record in the league. They have a great offense and defense. Giannis is the best player in the league this season. I think they have a great chance. They have Brogdon coming back before the Finals and with him they look unstoppable.
The Houston Rockets are an American professional basketball team based in Houston, Texas. The Rockets compete in the National Basketball Association, as a member of the league's Western Conference Southwest Division. The Rockets are another dangerous and underrated team. Mike D'Antoni is, in my opinion, one of the best coaches ever and they look like a threat to the Warriors in a surprisingly weak Western Conference.
They look to be the only team who can challenge the Warriors
They're losing to Utah
The Philadelphia 76ers are an American professional basketball team based in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. The 76ers are a Superteam. If they can just get continuity and if Ben Simmons could shoot, they are an easy Finals winner. I'm rooting for the Sixers, but they probably won't make it past the Bucks and the Raptors.
The Boston Celtics are an American professional basketball team based in Boston, Massachusetts. They are specifically known for honing infamous players such as Larry Bird, Bill Russell, Paul Pierce, and more. They are also known for having the most championships in NBA History, with 17 total. The Celtics are just so inconsistent. They probably won't make it past the 2nd round unless they finally click. They got Kyrie though which could be enough.
An American professional basketball team, the Indiana Pacers are based in Indianapolis, Indiana. They are a member of the Central Division in the Eastern Conference of the NBA. The Pacers have seen significant success in the league playoffs and sport navy, gold, and white as their team colors. The Pacers are right there. If they had Oladipo I would probably pick them over the Celtics, but the Pacers just don't have that one guy that can go off.
The Portland Trail Blazers, commonly known as the Blazers, are an American professional basketball team based in Portland, Oregon. I think the Blazers have a chip on their shoulder. Their are a lot of people that pick them as a sleeper pick. Maybe they can upset a top dog.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are an American professional basketball team based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I don't think their record is reflective of their talent. I think their is a chance they could upset someone. I love PG13, but the X-Factor is Westbrook. If he can just play well, they have a chance.
The Denver Nuggets are an American professional basketball team based in Denver, Colorado. The Nuggets compete in the National Basketball Association as a member club of the league's Western Conference Northwest Division. I personally think the Nuggets are gonna to good in the Playoffs. I mean they have a chance, but I think they are a weak link.
The San Antonio Spurs are an American professional basketball team based in San Antonio, Texas. The Spurs compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the league's Western Conference Southwest Division.
The Utah Jazz are an American professional basketball team based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Jazz compete in the National Basketball Association as a member club of the league's Western Conference Northwest Division.
The Los Angeles Clippers, often abbreviated as the LA Clippers, are an American professional basketball team based in Los Angeles.
The Brooklyn Nets are an American professional basketball team based in the borough of Brooklyn, in New York City. The Nets compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference. The Nets have literally the best management I have seen in a while. They make nothing into something. I love D Lo and they might give a team a scare in the Playoffs.
The New York Knickerbockers, commonly referred to as the Knicks, are an American professional basketball team based in the borough of Manhattan, in New York City.
The Orlando Magic are an American professional basketball team based in Orlando, Florida. The Magic compete in the National Basketball Association as a member club of the league's Eastern Conference Southeast Division.
The Chicago Bulls are an American professional basketball team based in Chicago, Illinois. The Bulls compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Central Division.
