Throughout the course of this season many teams have failed to reach their expectations. The season is coming to an end and in the Western Conference teams are fighting for a spot in this years playoffs. There is 7 teams who are 1 game away from each other so if one of them slips then that leaves an open door for another.

In the Eastern Conference teams are almost in the same position because they too are a game shy from each other. The teams that will stay in the same position in the Eastern Conference are the Raptors and the Celtics . The rest of the teams will still be battling against each other to try and get a higher spot in the table.

The teams in the Western Conference are having more trouble than the ones in the east because there is more teams that can qualify to the playoffs. The teams that look like they will not be changing positions are the Rockets, Warriors and the Trail Blazers. The rest of the teams will continue to battle it out until the end of the season.

The most favorite teams to win this year would be the Warriors, Rockets or the Celtics. These three teams have been doing great in the regular season and these teams have a good reputation of doing good in the playoffs from previous years. The Raptors are not one of the favorites because they are known to choke ones playoffs start. In previous years the Raptors have not been able to get their All Stars to perform at the high level they should be playing.
