The NBA regular season consists of 82 games. That means teams hit the one-third point of their season once they have played about 27 or 28 games. And here we are!
This year, more than others, consists of three different races. The first two races are designed to maximize a team’s chance to win the ultimate prize: the NBA Championship. During the regular season, that means the two races to win the number one seed in the Western Conference and the Eastern Conference. The third race is more important this year than in any year since LeBron James was going to be the consensus Number One pick.
