With the NBA regular season coming to an end we are starting to see the playoff brackets set in both the Eastern and Western Conferences. With the playoff brackets starting to shake out we have the top teams starting to pull further ahead of the middle and bottom tier teams, let’s go through my top three teams in the Eastern Conference and why.
The scariest team in the Eastern Conference is the Boston Celtics, with the roster depth Boston has they can match up with just about any team in the league. With the Celtics blowing out the Milwaukee Bucks earlier last week this Celtics team has shown many times that they can be the best team in the league when they are playing at their best.
The second best Eastern Conference team is the Milwaukee Bucks, with many fans and media members believing the Bucks are the best team. I don’t believe that, I believe the Bucks are a top team but not the best as the Celtics have shown time and time again that they can beat the Bucks. Even though Milwaukee had the best player in the league they have holes throughout the roster.
With the third best Eastern conference team is the Philadelphia 76ers. The 76ers have the championship ceiling but with thier star players in James Harden and Joel Embiid having playoff implications over their careers these two superstars have to show that they can step up when the lights shine brightest, until then they are my third best team in the Eastern Conference.
