about 7 matches are missing for each team at the end of the regular season and many positions seem already decided.
In the Eastern Conference:
1) Boston
2) Toronto
3-5) Cleveland, Philadelphia, Indiana are fighting from third to fifth place
6-8) Washington, Miami, Milwaukee are fighting from sixth to eighth but certainly all qualified for the playoffs.
In the Western Conference:
1) Houston
2) Golden State
3) Portland
Oklahoma,San Antonio,New Orleans,Minnesota,Utah
they seem to be favorites for qualifying for the playoffs and are fighting for places from fourth to eighth.
The Los Angeles Clippers (and minimally Denver) have some chance of qualifying for the playoffs but have to win almost all the remaining matches.
San Antonio still showing their pride,they still up in this conference but even they will survive the first round, the second one might be very difficult for them, Houston and GSW are still the favorites inside the west and have a much bigger edge to become the season champion, I'm a spurs fan but I
can't see any chances for them to defeat the young and hunger teams.
