Game with the heart
The review of the National Basketball Association in the last two weeks of the regular championship of the National Basketball Association of the team managed to hold an average of seven meetings. And only two clubs did without defeats, having achieved a 100 percent result - Boston Celtics (six victories) and Cleveland Kavalires (seven). The third best result of this temporary segment at Orlando Magic (one negative outcome in seven meetings).It is noteworthy that the whole Trinity represents the Eastern Conference, and before that in its liability only one defeat the unconditional leader of the West and the entire association - Los Angeles Lakers - left the Parquet defeated. The Lakers were forced to surrender the basketball players of the Indiana (with a difference of one point) and "Sacramento" (the difference - two points). These three aggregate points that seem to be a miserable Miser, nevertheless stubbornly mean two defeats and you can’t get anywhere. In addition, this is an additional reason to think about how players act in the last seconds of the meeting.
Let us return to the eastern leaders. As for Cleveland, which looks especially bright, a new hero appeared in the slender ranks of the “cavalrymen”. Worthy support to the chief slaughter of the team - Lebron James - has recently been provided by Mo Williams. He did not just sharply add in effectiveness (in the last game with Philadelphia, 27 points on his account), but also allows the club leader to rest regularly. Moreover, in the six out of the seven Cleveland meetings, Lebron did not appear at all on the floor in the final quarter. And the whole point is that James's partners in nine final matches replayed their opponents with an average difference of 21.6 points and brought the win -win series of Cleveland to the number 10.
12 matches in a row do not know the bitterness of Boston Celtics defeats (the best achievement since 1986).
In the last meeting with Indiana, one of the leaders of the club Paul Pierce, gaining 17 points for performance, reached the mark of 17.346 points per career. According to this indicator, the Pierce entered fourth in the history of the "Celts", bypassing the famous Kevin Mcheil. The pier in this list is now ahead of only three greater ones: Robert Parrish (18,245), Larry Berd (21,791) and John Havlich (26,395).
In the end, one cannot but mention a very sad event. Recently, the information that the defender of New York NIKS is close to the premature completion of his career, which is close to the premature completion of his career, has been perplexing. One of the most striking defense players of the last decade in the NBA has been experiencing serious heart problems. In the coming days, the mobs must hold a press conference at which he will announce the completion of his 11-year career (on average, Kattino scored more than 16 points and gave almost three assists).
It is curious that the mobs did not hold a single meeting as part of the New York. He was exchanged in this club from Los Angeles Clippers on November 21. At the same time, the NIX leadership knew perfectly about Kattino's problems, but before the results of additional medical examinations, it hoped that the 33-year-old mobs could still be able to benefit the club. However, not even having ever gone to the Madison-Square-Garden parquet, the former “Clippers” defender has pretty helped his new team. The fact is that he was exchanged for Zach Randolf, a large salary ($ 17.3 million) of which has thoroughly released and can be used to buy new stars.
