The NBA reaches its decisive phase, the most exciting. This Tuesday begins the play in, which will complete with four teams, two for Conferencethe box of the playoffswhich will start on Saturday. in the background appears the ring, at the latest on June 19. The end of the regular league came with a sung news: the firing of Frank Vogel as a technician the Lakersafter a noisy deletion in which it hangs the failure poster. It is not the first time that the Los Angeles team has stayed out of the playoffsin fact, he linked six absences not long ago, from the 2013-14 season to the 2018-19, the latter already with LeBron James in their ranks. But the blow has been especially unexpected and painful, only two years after the conquest of the titlealready with Vogel at the controlsand with a Big Three who, hit by injuries, has not been able to express his excellence: LeBron, Anthony Davis and Westbrook. No one could imagine that a cast led by this trident could go off the rails like this. Vogel’s impeachment it is only the first consequence. A is expected California tsunami.
Thus, without its mythical Lakers and without the mythical LeBronThe fight for the title begins. The Phoenix Suns (64-18) start on pole, ahead of some surprising Memphis Grizzlies (56-26), the two teams with the best balances, both from West. The Spanish players have had little prominence during the course after Ricky Rubio’s injury. could there be an NBA champion? By power, it could, because they are scattered around several classified teams, but with little contribution. Own Grizzlies they have Saints Aldama. And the Milwaukee Buckswho defend crown, to Serge Ibaka. In the absence of their own stars, the fans have adopted Luka Doncicwho has covered a brilliant campaign in the Maverickswith a mole: it has injured in the last game… Y Dallas trembles on the eve of the great battle.
