Shaq has gone into the desert to lead the Suns to salvation, but the question is can the Phoenix side make it now their savior is sidelined with a right hip contusion? O’ Neal watched his Suns batter the Memphis Grizzlies 127-113 this week, as the race for Suns playoffs tickets. The game turned into a deceptively easy task for the Arizona franchise; Stoudemire scored 10 of 13 from the field and commanded the inner-court while Bell’s outside shooting disoriented and finished them off completely. Rudy Gay equaled his career best with 36 points for the Grizzlies, including 16 points in the fourth quarter that brought Memphis to within 8 points, but the Suns attack came from all sides, and a double-digit lead was again secured. No doubt Grizzlies fans will be seeking Grizzlies tickets for the next NBA season.
We saw a reversal of fortunes this week in the Heat-Bulls series, with the Miami team sending the individualists from Chicago clattering out of the playoffs – exactly the opposite of how this game went last year. Among Miami fans, the search for Heat playoffs tickets is now on! The Bulls began this NBA season with confidence, but it drained away with the sweat in Miami as Chicago lost their famous edge against a Heat team composed of relative nobodies. Miami played impeccably, exploiting the Bulls tendency to lose cohesion defensively and play wasted passes when under pressure, sending the Bulls players into the locker room heads hung low, a black question mark looming collectively overhead. Knowledge there will be no more Bulls tickets to buy for any special games was surely burning a hole in their hearts.
The Celtics are the team to beat this season, and this week’s 107-104 victory over Milwaukee Bucks was a reminder to all that this is a roster with more depth than a Henry David Thoreau essay. Coach Doc Rivers let his big three (Garnett, Allen, and Pierce) simmer on the bench as Boston’s lead was slashed to 99-96, before the Bucks tied it with 14 seconds remaining. Milwaukee coach Larry Krystkowiak was proud of his battlers, regardless Boston being a reserve team at that point, while Rivers enthused when his bench side came back to snatch it without the help from the sidelined titans. The Celtics hopes of extending that 7-game winning streak to 8 were dashed the following night in Washington, when the Wizards defeated them, throwing a 109-95 speed-bump in their path to glory. But Celtics playoffs tickets are now a talking point in Boston. Garnett earned 22 points and 14 rebounds, while Pierce’s 28 points and 7 assists confirmed that the Boston engine is purring. Allen added 13 points to the tally, but the Wizards fought to keep their lead unassailable, pulling away each time the Celtics sought to reduce it. Rivers has been named NBA Eastern Conference Coach of the Month for March, as the Celtics attempt to maintain New England’s grip on American sports.
The hangover from their All-Time Team celebration may have been the reason the Pistons fell to the Knicks on Tuesday, but Wednesday’s defeat to the Sixers in Philly really had no excuse. The second-seeded Pistons produced a disappointing succession of poor shots, outright mistakes, and lackadaisical losses of possession, from which the 76ers sprang into life, scoring 29 fast-break points and punishing the Pistons badly. At this level and at this juncture in the NBA schedule, there is no room for error, and the Detroit side need to focus and capitalize on their status if they are to make a serious bid for the trophy. Pistons playoffs tickets are what it’s about now; NBA playoffs are 10 days away, and approaching fast. This is do or die for Detroit. Chauncey Billups made an encouraging 10 points in the first quarter but the mistake-riddled performance generally blunted his penetration, and Richard Hamilton must be wondering how things will pan out for him now. Shooting Guard Hamilton has had some rest and must now enter the coming games against Washington and Toronto knowing it’s make or break time.
Washington and Toronto are both Playoffs teams. The Wizards are currently seeded 5th, ahead of the Sixers and one behind the Cavaliers, but they are shooting for the number four spot, emboldened by their recent series success against the on-fire Celtics. Wizards playoffs tickets are a reality, and the final seeding will determine their destiny. In Toronto, the Raptors pulled off a convincing 111-93 win Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks, with a third-quarter push that dispelled any dithering Toronto may have experienced in the run-in to the playoffs, and sending fans scurrying off to buy Bucks playoffs tickets.
In the Western Conference, we see the Mavericks, the Warriors, and the Nuggets. The latter two average 110.8 and 110.7 points per game, respectively, and many say that it is their defense that will either make or break their NBA playoffs chances. They concede almost as many as they score, which is living dangerously on the fast-paced parquet of professional basketball. Mavericks playoffs tickets will fill Dallas with a new optimism, as will Warriors playoffs tickets and Nuggets tickets in California and Colorado. The Warriors and the Nuggets are indeed engaged in an NBA playoffs tussle as I write these words. Speaking of California, the Clippers will play their final game of the season at "home" to the LA Lakers, the Lakers enjoying a better season than their in-town rivals, and Lakers fans ready to buy Lakers playoffs tickets. Everyone has it all to play for right now, so stay tuned to TicketLiquidator and keep up with the top teams as they push themselves to the limit and seek that Larry O'Brien NBA Championship Trophy to the final second of this scintillating basketball season!
