Two more games.

That’s exactly what these NBA teams have left in this ever-engaging 2005-2006 NBA Regular Season.

Before another post-season madness takes place, we see both Staples Center teams in Los Angeles making it, the Detroit Pistons with the overall home court advantage and Allen Iverson making an abrupt exit.

The top eight teams in each conference qualify for the playoffs. The division winner with the best record in each conference is seeded no.1, the other division winners are seeded no.2 and no.3 and the remaining five teams are seeded nos.4 to 8 according to their won-lost records. – NBA.com

Yup, that’s it. The playoffs are set… Well… Almost. Here are the top two match-ups, in my opinion anyway, that will likely tango for that coveted NBA Championship. (Jeez… What’s the point? You just know that the Pistons will parade with it this year anyway…)

In the NBA Eastern Conference, we see the Detroit Pistons likely to face the Chicago Bulls. Luckily for the Pistons, the Bulls won’t have no.23 with them as no.7, Ben Gordon, is taking over where Jordan left off.

Oh yeah, another plus is the fact that Gordon is just too damn short. Sorry. Pistons win.

Emphatically.

In the Western side of things, the defending NBA Champions, San Antonio Spurs, will be facing a Sacramento Kings team on the rise. Since landing Ron Artest from a trade with the Pacers, the Kings evolved from the run-and-gun offense popularized by ex-King Jason Williams, to a defensive minded, irritatingly-good team.

And I meant that in a good way.

If Ron Artest can keep up with Manu Ginobili then we could very well see these Kings pull away with the biggest upset of the year.

As for Allen Iverson, his team just lost the last and final playoff spot in the East to those pesky Bulls. Landing Chris Webber worked out quite well this season but it was just not enough. I guess the Sixers would have to go back to the proverbial drawing board eh? I just hope that whatever they do, they don’t trade Iverson away, that’s just suicide.
