    There will be 8 teams from each NBA conference going to the playoffs

    At the moment - the matches would be:
    EASTERN------------------------------------------------------ WESTERN
    1) Boston vs 8) NY-------------------------------------Denver .........Minnesota
    2) Brooklyn vs 7) Indiana-------------------------------Memphis------Utah
    3) Milwaukee vs 6) Miami--------------------------------New Orleans-.LA Clippers
    4) Cleveland vs 5) Philly--------------------------------Dallas----------Utah

    So, which team do you think will win it all??

    Will any of the current teams under the top 8 make it to the playoffs?

    My next door neighbor growing up had 7 rings

    he played for the Celtics back in the day

    was one of the 50 greatest players listed back in the 90s

    the first and greatest 6 man ever

    they changed rules because of him

    He would hit the front end of a 1-1

    each team would have a player underneath the basket unlike now

    he would miss the 2nd on purpose and knew where to hit the rim so the ball would kick off to Russell who would then score on a put back

    so it was a 3 pt play

    they changed to putting 2 players underneath the basket from the opposing team to prevent it from happening
