NBA SEASON FINALE

The  NBA regular season has officially come to a close. The season finale came with some game upsets ,but the NBA first round is officially set in stone. In the Western Conference the sixth, seventh, and eighth place seeds were officially set in stone Wednesday night. Over the past week teams such as the Golden State Warriors, Memphis Grizzlies, Dallas Mavericks, and Phoenix Suns were battling for the last three seeds in the Western Conference, as they would all be separated by one game. There were four teams but only three spots. Over the last two games of the season teams have shown their vulnerability and mental toughness as the Golden State Warriors, Memphis Grizzlies and Dallas Mavericks would all make the cut. Showing that they weren't defined by the record the most were the Memphis grizzlies as there last two season games would end with wins. The grizzlies started off the season as one of the worst teams in the Western Conference but have found a way over the past month to put together a string of wins to result in making the playoffs this season. With all of changes in their front office and changes at the head coach position, it was shocking to see this Grizzlie team make the playoffs this season and getting the seventh place seed. In the Eastern Conference it has been anything, but a race to the finish line as a few teams have flew under the radar to try to doge potential Conference Championship Contenders. The Miami heat were the clear Eastern Conference Champion favorite this season as they have the current best player in the League on their roster, being Lebron James. Because of their roster, the heat have been the clear favorite to win the Eastern Conference, and after the Indiana Pacers troubles over the past week it has solidified the crown even more. Although the heat aren't out of the woods yet, they too have lost a few of the more important games down the stretch,  and the Indiana Pacers team  too has lost games in a concerning manner. With all of their starters frustrated with each other on the bench and Frank Vogul is just the middle man as they head into the playoffs. Although the heat are the clear favorite to win the title, critics have wondered if they are" tanking " during the end of the season because they don't want the number one seed. The winner of the number one and number eight seed match-up will play the winner of the number four and number five match-up, which could have equated in the heat playing the bulls in the second round. The heat knew what that would have meant as last season they went up to six games to beat the bulls, which might have been apart of the teams strategy. What ever the result or case might be, this is heating up to be  fun field road to the finals.
