Orlando Magic to play-offs and LA Clippers home

Remain allocated places for post-season in the NBA. And things being equal, we know in the East and West classified eliminated.

Orlando Magic has become the third NBA team to achieve qualification for the play-offs 2008. Orlando, which has a 8-2 streak, it seems that picks up the tone that dazzled the start of the season. The trio of Rashard Lewis, Hedo Turkoglu and Dwight Howard is continuing to consolidate and want to give too much trouble in the play-offs.

It took a while to know other classified the East, as Cleveland, which is fourth in the table "only" takes 10 games to the first unclassified, Atlanta, where there are 16 to play (party up, party down).

How is the thing down? Well, we have 6 teams in 5 games of difference when you have 16 left. Surely even the position 7 (which deals with Philadelphia) all classified for play-offs. But then there's New Jersey, Atlanta, Chicago, Indiana, Charlotte and Milwaukee, among them, anything can happen, although it is difficult to scale both these last two posts.

In the West still have no mathematical classified. 7 games of difference separate the leader (Houston, after achieving its twenty-second victory against LA Lakers) of the first unclassified, Denver Nuggets.

However, we have the fourth eliminated: LA Clippers. The poor relation of the Lakers and has been out of the ring to fight for the disadvantaged have 20 games with Golden State.

To get an idea of the tightness of the Western Conference, Golden State (eighth and last qualified for the moment) has a 41-24 mark and the leader, Houston, one of 46-20. Tight, tight. Denver, the first guy out, would be ahead of Cleveland if he played in the East. 4 teams have 44 wins: Hornets, Jazz, Suns and Spurs.

The Western Conference is red hot.
