NBA's Biggest Surprises?

As the NBA season winds down, there are many shockers in the NBA Tournament. Examples include the Charlotte Bobcats at 29-34, but still the number seven team in the Eastern Conference, which means a playoff berth. This will be the second time the Bobcats have ever made the playoffs, since they are also one of the youngest teams in the NBA. In the ‘90s, they made the playoffs all the time, but instead they were the Hornets, and had funny rosters, including one with the shortest and the tallest players in NBA history, Muggsy Bouges at 5”3, and Manute Bol at 7”7. I would love to see the Bobcats dethrone the Miami Heat on top of the league for next season, as they will once again become the Hornets next season. Another surprise is that out of the playoff teams last year, five of the teams are out of the playoffs at the moment. These teams are the New York Knicks, the Denver Nuggets, the Boston Celtics, the Milwaukee Bucks, and the Los Angeles Lakers. Many surprises have happened this season, but others await in the playoffs.
