Looks like the stages for the 2011 NBA Playoffs are set with only about 20 or so games left for each team! In the East ,six teams may already have firm grips on the Playoffs! Obviously ,the top 3 teams are Boston, Miami and Chicago topping their respective divisions! Meanwhile, Indiana and Charlotte are battling it out for the last spot for the Playoffs! Boston and Miami , however , are in a close fight for number 1 and supremacy in the Conference! Out in the West , San Antonio remains at number 1 both in the Conference and the league! The 6th to 8th Playoff spots are still hotly contested by Denver (35-26), Portland (33-26) and Memphis(33-28).Notably ,not so distant are Phoenix (31-27), Utah (32-29) and even Houston (30-31) which still have some chances of springing some surprises for the 7th or 8th spots depending on how these teams perform in the homestretch! Yes, the jostling for the Playoffs has gotten very interesting !
