Thrones and knights lead the conferences on large margins. They are playing for something else
Of Tim Reynolds ap Basketball Writer
The east is an escape. West is a bigger overflow.
And the NBA has seen nothing like this in almost 40 years.
Although all the attention is about your NCAA brackets this week (by the way, here are some tips for male and female tournaments), it is safe to advance and pencil in Cleveland as the seed number 1 of the Eastern Conference and the city of Oklahoma as the number 1 of the Western conference. It is not yet mathematically safe, but let’s leave -none of these teams will not be trapped.
It is not outside the kingdom of the realistic possibility that both the Cavaliers and the Thunder win their conference in at least 10 games. Over the years there have been a lot of cases in a conference, but it has not happened in both conferences at the same season since Boston won the east by ten games and the Los Angeles Lakers won the West by 11 games in 1985-86.
Entering Monday, Cleveland led the east by 7 1/2 games. Oklahoma City led the West by 13 games, with 14 games left to play, so do math. West is over. The East ends.
“It is the chemistry of the team,” said Mark Daigult, coach of the city of Oklahoma. “We really formed a beautiful chemistry on the court. Great mix. The boys are playing with their strengths.”
The thunder have gained the respect of the league and, of course, in Las Vegas. Betmgm Sportsbook lists Oklahoma City as a great favorite to win the West and has Thunder as a favorite to win the NBA title. The West is loaded and OKC has a shot in being the first team to win the regular season title of the conference by 15 or more games from Golden State in 1975-76.
The thunder exceeds teams by 12.4 points per game. This is the pace of being the best margin in the history of the NBA. And this is important.
This seems like the right time to put out the next five teams on the league’s all-time point-differential-for-game list-the 1971-72 Los Angeles lakers (Who Outscored Teams by 12.3 Points by Game), the 1970-71 Milwaukee Bucks (12.3) 1995-96 Chicago Bulls (12.2), The 2016-17 Golden State Warriors (11.6) and Last Boston Celtics of the season (11.3) won the NBA Championship of the season.
“They are who they are,” said Milwaukee’s guardian, Damian Lillard. “They defend, they move the ball, they have a deep team, they do a lot of good things on both sides of the ball.”
It is interesting that Cleveland, still with the best record of the NBA, at 56-11, a team that surpassed the opponents for “ only ” 11 points per game (which would be the eighth best in the history of the league) and a team that has separate winners of 12, 15 and 16 games this season, does not have the same respect for the manufacturers.
Cavs not only do not encourage to win the NBA title, they are not even favored to win the East. According to Betmgm, they are the second option in the east behind Boston. It does not bother them exactly; They think they know who they are and that will be enough.
In addition, they know they will be tried by the playoffs.
“We have done nothing yet,” said Cleveland, Darius Garland. “The regular season means something to us, but winning this ring, that’s what we really care about.”
By the way, the big margins of the conference often mean that the rings could be underway.
Only a team from 1986-87 won its conference for ten or more games and did not continue to capture the NBA championship; This would be Detroit in 2005-06, which won the east by 12 games and saw that Miami celebrated the title that season.
Boston won the east by 14 games last season on the way to the NBA title. Golden State won the West by 11 games in 2014-15 and won the title. Miami won by 12 games in 2012-13 and won the title. The Lakers won West by 11 games in 2008-09 and won the title. Chicago won the east of 12 games in 1995-96 and 10 games in 1991-92, and won the title in both seasons. The Lakers won the West by 10 games in 1986-87 and won the title.
The thunder will want to join this club. Cavaliers also have a shot. Neither team is playing for a number 1 seed or a great victory in the conference race. They are playing for something bigger.
“Let’s not let go of the rope,” said Cavs coach, Kenny Atkinson, “mentally or physically.”
