Is There Room for Surprise in the Eastern Conference?

The dominance of Cleveland Cavaliers and the quality, experience, and championship intangibles that Boston Celtics possess make both teams the major dominators of the Eastern Conference, conveying a sense of tremendous superiority over the rest of the rivals. However, it cannot be ruled out that the competition will increase in this final part of the season.

The gap between the top two teams in the Eastern Conference and those aiming to surprise is vast, both in terms of standings and feelings. Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics seem destined to face each other in the final, but they would be mistaken to relax and dismiss the possibility of other teams raising their level in the remaining games. New York Knicks could be a formidable opponent if they fine-tune their defensive mechanism as they have plenty of talent and competitive character to aspire to glory.

Furthermore, Milwaukee Bucks is another team that has everything required to fully engage in the battle for significant success and cause serious upsets to the favorites. The significant improvement seen in Indiana Pacers lately should not be overlooked, nor should the freshness brought by young teams with nothing to lose, like Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic. The chances of Miami Heat or Philadelphia 76ers playing the role of giant killers seem more remote.
