The first place in the Eastern Conference is just a decoration. It takes stock of the playoff record of the first place in the Eastern Conference in the past 10 years, and only two teams entered the f

In the second round of the playoffs, the Cavaliers, the No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, finally lost to the Pacers 1-4 and stopped in the second round.

The team in the East, which is the No. 1 team in the playoffs, does not seem to be very ideal. In the past 10 years, only two teams have reached the finals. The following lists the playoff record of the NBA's No. 1 in the past 10 years. Only two teams won the championship and some were hacked to eight. In the 2023-2024 season, the Celtics won the championship

2023-2024 season, the Celtics reached the finals again after two years, and defeated the Mavericks in the finals, winning the 18th championship in the team history, surpassing the Lakers again and enjoying the throne of the first in history.

After experiencing the failure of the 2017-2018 Eastern Conference Finals and the 2021-2022 Finals, Tatum and Jaylen Brown finally led the Celtics to win the championship.

2015-2016 season, the Cavaliers won the championship

In the four years when James returned to the Cavaliers' Big Three, the Cavaliers had only one year of the record in the Eastern Conference, that was the 2015-2016 season. After narrowly defeating the Raptors 4-2 to advance to the finals, the Cavaliers fell behind 1-3 in the finals, defeating the Warriors 4-3 to win the championship. This is also the first championship in the Cavaliers' history.

If you don't win the runner-up in the Eastern Conference, you will definitely win the championship when you enter the finals.

2021-2022 season, the Heat 3-4 Celtics

2021-2022 season, the Heat became the No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, but it was not as good as in 2020 and 2023. In the Eastern Conference Finals, they were eliminated by the Celtics in the tiebreak. Those seasons were very interesting. Celtics vs. Heat, both won more away games.

2018-2019 season, the Bucks were reversed 4-2 by the Raptors in the East Finals

The No. 1 in the Eastern Conference was the Bucks, and Antetokounmpo was also MVP. In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bucks once led the Raptors 2-0, but were greatly reversed by the Raptors. After the Raptors held an internal meeting, Van Vreet's son was also born, so they began a four-game winning streak reversal, and the Raptors also reached the finals for the first time in the history of the team and won the championship for the first time.

2016-2017 season, the Celtics were eliminated 4-1 by the Cavaliers

At that time, the number one in the Eastern Conference was either James's team or James's team. There was no way. In terms of lineup strength, James's team should be the first, but James' team always played very well in the regular season and gave up the first place. In the 2014-2015 season, the Hawks were swept by the Cavaliers in the East Finals, which was Bradley's final, but the Hawks were not so lucky. As the number one in the East, they faced the Cavaliers but had no power to fight back and were directly swept out. The 4 All-Stars were not as real as the two superstars.

2020-2021 season, the 76ers were eliminated 4-2 by the Hawks in the second round

76ers have not broken through the second round in recent seasons. The Eastern Conference Finals is the ceiling of the 76ers, and the closest one is that they were defeated by Leonard in the second round of the 18-19 season. In the 2019-2020 season, the Bucks were eliminated 4-1 by the Heat in the second round, and the Eastern Heat were a disruptor. They could not only defeat the Celtics, but also the Bucks. In the park playoffs in the 19-20 season, the Heat easily defeated the Bucks 4-1 in the second round, and finally reached the finals. In the 2017-2018 season, the Raptors were swept by the Cavaliers in the second round

and the above sentence: Without superstars, it is difficult to fight against James' team in the East. Although the Raptors were the first, they were swept in the second round. In those years, the Raptors were really not as good as the regular season.

2022-2023 season, the Bucks were 4-1 blacked by the Heat in the first round, and the Bucks encountered the Heat's black 8 in the first round, which is very interesting. The Heat were originally ranked 7th, but they lost to the Hawks in the first game of the playoffs, then defeated the Bulls in the second game, accidentally came to the Bucks and staged the Black 8 Miracle.
