The All-Star game marked half of the season in US basketball with a great commitment that the LeBron James team stayed, but it is time to analyze what has happened so far and what have been the top five quintets.
The Eastern Conference has the franchise that dominates our hierarchical list and it is not for less since they are the only ones that still do not reach the 10 defeats so far in the 2019/2020 campaign, so that we give an idea of their potential.
1) Milwaukee
Giannis Antetokounmpo and company stayed on the edge of the finals the previous season and have now made it clear that they are going for everything.
Currently there is only one team that had a better record than them in the last 10 duels, but their 8-2 scares anyone and it seems that there is no way to stop them, at least in the short term because they are acquiring an important experience.
2) Toronto
The current monarchs mounted one of the best streaks so far this year until surprisingly Brooklyn stopped them last Wednesday, just before the mid-season break.
Before that they had 15 victories between January 15 and February 10, so they stayed for a game and five days of serving a month without stumbling. Do you now understand why they appear in the second place of our hierarchical list?
3) Los Angeles L.
The team led by LeBron James and Anthony Davis appears until the third step despite having the second best record in the entire circuit with 41 wins and 12 losses, which is a five-game advantage over the team that closes our weekly survey of the better sets and it is precisely the victory over Denver that catapulted them into this position since the 120-116 victory as visitors was a real blow of authority on the table.
4) Boston
Here we find the third team of the Eastern Conference in the Power Rankings as they also have an 8-2 balance in their 10 most recent presentations. Jayson Tatum is a great leader in the team and, when they seemed to fall, they resumed the path that will have them in the postseason as a real headache for any opponent they face.
5) Denver
Those in Colorado missed the opportunity to approach Californians at the top of the West with a home defeat that was not within the budget since they seemed to arrive at that commitment at a better time, but now they have all the pressure from Los Angeles C. and Utah, so it shouldn’t surprise us if they disappear from the top 5 next week.
