By Murata ThomaePublished 2 years ago 6 min read

First of all, and everyone to introduce the awareness of the title, in fact, the NBA each playoffs are more horrible, each team is to be able to win the championship, each team is fighting hard, but to say that the competition is fierce, 07-08 season is particularly prominent, first of all, the West, when the NBA league west strong east weak situation has been formed for many years, of course, here is the overall strength, the East still have a few teams Strength is stronger, especially the Celtics, who just formed the Big Three, into the league four years has been the first appearance of the little emperor James, and the old powerhouse Pistons, etc. are stronger teams, but the Western team is stronger, the playoffs this year, eight teams have a winning percentage of sixty percent above, even the Warriors and Trail Blazers ranked ninth and tenth victory are more than fifty percent, if they will Put in the East, all are the top eight teams, according to calculations, the first 11 teams in the West put in the East are eligible to enter the playoffs, the fierce competition can be imagined. Now let's take stock of the top eight teams in the West.

No. 8: Denver Nuggets

The core players of the Nuggets were Iverson and Anthony, who were known as the golden twins. Both had the same dirty dreadlocks, the same arm guards and tattoos, and were super offensive players, but neither was willing to put more effort into the defensive end. The Nuggets entered the playoffs with a record of 50 wins and 32 losses, and their opponent was the Lakers. That year the Nuggets had a rare absence of a massive injury wave, but still defeated the Lakers and were sent home 4-0, knowing that the Nuggets were also more balanced on the offensive and defensive ends, and the interior of Camby and Martin was putting in a lot of effort on defense, but still lost.

Seventh place: Dallas Mavericks

The former Mavericks, now the Mavericks, but they have the peak of Nowitzki while having the older and more demonic Kidd, Dallas two-headed monster Josh Howard and Terry, it can be said that the team at that time, although not as strong as the lineup in the year of the championship, at that time the strength was not weak, their opponent was then the Hornets, is now the Pelicans, the two teams have changed their names, but also into the newcomer The final result was that the Hornets sent the Mavericks back home 4-1, and the Mavericks' regular season record was 51 wins and 31 losses.

No. 6: Phoenix Suns

Suns, but one of the representative teams of the league shell game, but in this season they slowed down, from the then full participation in the fast break to 4 people fast down a slow way past half-court, and the main factor that led to this situation is the Sharks to the Suns, yes to be able to collect all the rainbow jerseys, O'Neal came to the Suns wearing orange jerseys, let me introduce the Sun's lineup at the time The Suns' lineup, Nash, Bell (it's Laga Bell, not the wilderness one), Marion, Jr., and O'Neal. This lineup forgot to record in yesterday's article if on paper it was quite horrible, 55 wins and 27 losses in the regular season, the playoffs met the even sicker Spurs, 5 games 4-1 home, O'Neal was introduced to deal with Duncan, but the shark is old, the Sun still lost

Fifth place: Houston Rockets

The regular season record reached 55 wins and 27 losses, the Rockets entered the playoffs in fifth place, and the winning percentage also reached a horrible 67.1%, but the playoffs met their bitter rivals the Jazz, Delon's entire career there are two things are particularly stable, the first is to play Paul, the second is to play the Rockets, with Yao Ming and Maddie's Rockets again fell in the first round of the playoffs, Yao Ming injury absence, Maddie alone can not support The Rockets, with Yao Ming and McD again fell in the first round of the playoffs, Yao was injured, McD was unable to support him, and finally fell in the hands of the Jazz, the score 4-2 home fishing.

Fourth place: Utah Jazz

Jazz starting point guard Delon eats and sleeps to play Paul, the Jazz are eating and sleeping to play rockets, the new point guard and power forward blocking game, Delon and Boozer is a replica of Malone and Stockton, while the team's small forward was then the NBA's famous all-around player, Russia's first man Kirilenko, and the team's starting center Oku is a pioneer in the league among the outside centers, his main job is to pull away Space to Boozer, plus a Brewer, the Rockets in front of the Jazz are powerless, years of rivalry ended in defeat, the regular season Jazz 54 wins and 28 losses, the playoffs 4-2 easy to take out the Rockets, into the next round.

No. 3: San Antonio Spurs

Troika is still full of an oil state, the year the Spurs are regulars in the playoffs, the most favorable contender for the championship here is a 07-08 season Western Conference finals is the Spurs and Lakers, this season the Spurs gained 56 wins and 26 losses, a winning percentage of 68.3%, their first-round opponent is the Suns, the second round against the Hornets, which was also the explosive playoff game, the two teams against 7 games, the Eventually the Spurs narrowly defeated the Hornets, with Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, and Bowen against then Paul, Peja, West, and Chandler. Whether it was a defensive counterattack or a positional battle, the two teams played back and forth and the course of the game was quite exciting.

No. 2: New Orleans Hornets

Paul's peak season, the first round of the playoffs met with the Mavericks, against the old demon Kidd, the second round and the Spurs met, against the then sports car Parker, two people in the game turned over the man became a landscape of the league at the time, remember that at the time to watch the game most like to see Paul and Parker attack, two people are top control position, mutual overplay is also exciting to see more.

First place: Los Angeles Lakers

The Celtics got Ray Allen and Garnett by way of trade, and the Lakers traded in the middle of the season to Gasol, although later young Gasol performed well, which proved for the Grizzlies, at the time to see Gasol's joining the Lakers belong to the white pickup state. These transactions also indirectly contributed to the NBA once again yellow and green war, the overall stop the NBA ratings decline, but also let the classic yellow and green war again.

The hand plays in the West briefly about the East, but the East playoff win rate is not as high as the West, but the league's two high win rate teams are in the East, they are the Celtics and Pistons, and the top five in the East are also strong teams, Howard's Magic, James' Cavaliers and the Wizards with three swordsmen Arias, Butler, and Jamison, while Bosh's Raptors also entered the playoffs, The winning percentage reached 50%. The NBA playoffs that year were as if there was a script, the Green Army and the Lakers in the playoffs took out the first and first scout of the platinum generation in 03, respectively, while the playoffs both defeated the league's team basketball team Hawks and Jazz and finally in the finals of their respective divisions defeated two championship teams Spurs and Pistons, respectively, the showdown was the Green Army versus the Purple Shirts when the NBA playoffs ratings were the highest in nearly 20 years. 20 years the highest, restraint then playoffs exciting, and the current or the Rockets 22 consecutive winning season, it can be said that the 07-08 NBA season the entire competitive state is at a peak, belong to the peak of the confrontational game, interested friends can check the information to look back on, very exciting.
