The NBA regular season is in full swing, and now the NBA regular season is nearly halfway through the schedule. There is no doubt that after this period of play, the strength of the NBA teams has been demonstrated. So the question is, what will be the situation of the 30 teams in the NBA after half a game? Espn, a well-known sports media, gave us the answer to this question. Let's take a look at the ranking given by ESPN.
1st place: Suns
So far this season, the Suns have been outstanding, averaging 112.3 points per game, third in the league. He averaged 46 rebounds per game, ranking 6th in the league. He averaged 26.2 assists per game, the fifth in the league. He averaged 14 turnovers per game, the league's 17th. Overall, the Suns are the team that the NBA has the best control over the details. At the same time, they are also the most balanced team in the league in terms of offensive and defensive strength. After beating the Pistons, the Suns enjoyed a three-game winning streak. With this wave of three consecutive wins, the Suns' current record is 33 wins and 9 losses to rank first in the league.
Second place: Grizzlies
To put it bluntly, the best team in the league lately has been the Grizzlies. Before losing to the Lone Rangers, the Grizzlies won a 11-game winning streak, during which the Grizzlies defeated the Nets, Lakers, Suns and other strong teams. So far this season, the Grizzlies have two stats ranked first in the league: averaging 48.3 rebounds per game, ranking first in the league. Averaging 6.3 blocks per game, he ranked first in the league. Maybe the Grizzlies aren't strong enough to win the championship at the moment, but the Grizzlies will definitely be a dark horse team this season, and I wouldn't be surprised even if the Grizzlies reach the semifinals.
Third place: Warriors
Truth be told, the Warriors' record in recent times has not been good. The Warriors have lost three of the last four games, and it is precisely because of these three games that the Warriors' ranking has slipped to third. Of course, the Warriors' poor record is very obvious, that is, Green's injury and Curry's downturn. To borrow a phrase from Perkins, "Clay's return breaks the Warriors chemistry, Green is the heart and soul, and the Warriors won't have a good life before the All-Star." Yes, Perkins said it well, Thompson's return did break the Warriors' chemistry, but I believe that once the Warriors adapt to Thompson, then the Warriors' record and strength will definitely rise a notch higher than before.
Placed 4-8 are: 4-Bulls (27-14), 5-Bucks (27-18), 6-Jazz (29-14), 7-Heat (27-16), 8-76 (25-17).
Ninth place: Nets (27 wins, 15 losses)
The Nets will have a tough time in recent times, and when Durant will return with an injury is unknown, and Irving can only play away games. To put it bluntly, the Nets can only rely on Harden alone at present. Yes, Harden has played really well in the last two games, but we are honest to say that if the Nets did not have Durant, then the Nets' record as a team would probably really decline like a roller coaster.
The 10-14 places are: 10 - Lone Rangers (24-19), 11- Cavaliers (26-18), 12-Nuggets (22-20), 13-Hornets (23-20), 14-Raptors (21-19).
No. 15: Lakers
The Lakers and Warriors have played very poorly in recent times, and the Lakers have experienced a wave of 3 consecutive losses in the past three games. With the arrival of this wave of 3 consecutive losses, the Lakers' current record has reached 21 wins and 22 losses, ranking 8th in the West. To put it bluntly, the current situation of the Lakers is very difficult, Davis' injury is an unknown, and Westbrook's state is even more unknown. To put it bluntly, the Lakers' big three are now only Left with James himself. As Lakers fans, we no longer hope that the Lakers will win the championship, we only hope that the Lakers can smoothly enter the playoffs.
16-20 are: 16-Knicks (22-11), 17-Wizards (22-21), 18-Timberwolves (21-22), 20-Clippers (21-23).
The 21st-25th places are: 21- Kings (18-28), 22-Hawks (17-25), 23-Trail Blazers (17-25), 24-Pelicans (16-27), 25-Spurs (16-27).
The 26-30s are: 26-Pacers (15-28), 27-Thunder (14-28), 28-Rockets (13-32), 29-Pistons (10-32), 30-Magic (8-36).
