2015 NBA Playoff Preview

The 2014-2015 NBA regular season has finally come to an end. There were many teams in the league that played more than what fans expected. Also, actually once again, the Western Conference once again proves that the NBA playoff system should change, but that is another argument for a different day.

Here are all the standings from each conference.

Eastern Conference
1. Atlanta Hawks (60-22)
2. Cleveland Cavaliers (53-29)
3. Chicago Bulls (50-32)
4. Toronto Raptors (49-33)
5. Washington Wizards (46-36)
6. Milwaukee Bucks (41-41)
7. Boston Celtics (40-42)
8. Brooklyn Nets (38-42)

Western Conference
1. Golden State Warriors (67-15)
2. Houston Rockets (56-26)
3. Los Angeles Clippers (56-26)
4. Portland Trail Blazers (51-31)
5. Memphis Grizzlies (55-27)
6. San Antonio Spurs (55-27)
7. Dallas Mavericks (50-32)
8. New Orleans Pelicans (45-37)

It is sad how one team in the West that didn’t make it to the playoffs, OKC (45-37), would’ve been a top contender if they played in the East. But we will bring that question on the table during one of our recordings.

Here are the matchups.

Eastern Conference:
#1 Atlanta vs. #8 Brooklyn
#2 Cleveland vs. #7 Bston
#3Chicago vs. #6 Milwaukee
#4Toronto vs. #5 Washington

Western Conference:
#1 Golden State vs. #8 New Orleans
#2 Houston vs. #7 Dallas
#3 Los Angeles vs. #6 San Antonio
