In the Feb. 2 game, the Pelicans 111-101 Pistons, The Heat 106-110 Raptors, Wizards 98-112 Bucks, Magic 115-126 Bulls, Nuggets 115-130 Timberwolves, Warriors 124-120 Spurs, Nets 111-121 Suns. "Son-in-law Day" 7 big battles caused the record list ranking update, let's take a look at the latest rankings of the NBA East and West!
East: Bulls 1st, 76ers 2nd, Heat 3rd, Cavaliers 4th, Bucks 5th, Nets 6th, Hornets 7th, Raptors 8th, Hawks 10th, Knicks 11th, Wizards 12th, Pacers 13th, Pistons 14th, Magic 15th.
West: Suns No. 1, Warriors No. 2, Grizzlies No. 3, Jazz No. 4, Lone Rangers No. 5, Nuggets No. 6, Timberwolves No. 7, Clippers No. 8, Lakers No. 9, Trail Blazers No. 10, Pelicans No. 11, Spurs No. 12, Kings No. 13, Thunder No. 14, Rockets No. 15.
The Nets lost 5 consecutive games to be called the number one pseudo-strong team in the East, and the Heat lost to send the 76ers to lie in second place in the East!
The Bulls won strongly to stabilize their position in the first place in the East, but the heat and cold were invincible to the Raptors, giving the Raptors the opportunity to keep the top 8 in the East, and also sending the 76ers to lie in the second place in the East. Although the 76ers and the Heat have a win difference of 1, but the 76ers have a game advantage, while the 76ers are in a 5-game winning streak, the Heat is overtaken by the 76ers may be sooner or later, because Embiid is playing the dominance of the super center, but also let the Bulls face a huge challenge, but the Boss of the East who is up and down, may not really have anything to do with the Nets.
In short, the last 5 games the Nets have lost, whether it is a weak team or a strong team, the Nets are very hard to lose the game, Harden led the team is really hard, without Durant's Nets, the competitiveness shown can be called the number one pseudo-strong team in the East, only losing a Durant is playing so badly, what does the Nets take to win the championship? The Nets have played 3 away games in the past 5 games, Irving can also play, so there should be no excuses, the Nets want to be competitive this season, bid farewell to the doubts of the pseudo-strong team, the Nets in addition to waiting for Durant's healthy return, it is also time for a big change.
Now the Nets are in jeopardy, the 8th in the East raptors and the nets only have 2.5 win differences, before Durant returns, I am afraid that the Nets will fall out of the top 6 list in the East, after all, the competition for the top 8 in the East is already very fierce, the raptors and bulls win difference is only 5.5, compared to the West, the East is still very chaotic, but the West has proved that it has the top team.
Suns 11 consecutive wins PK Warriors 7 consecutive wins, the league's first battle has not stopped?
The Suns continue to win 10+ consecutive wins is indeed too fierce, it can be said that Paul's control of the rhythm of the game is indeed the top level in history, whether Paul's personal data is good or not, but Paul's talent as a field commander should be fairly recognized. Of course, the Warriors have a luxurious lineup and talent, facing the league's No. 1 position, the Warriors did not give up, they have won all the last 7 games, facing the Suns' 11 consecutive wins, the Warriors had to respond with 7 consecutive wins, which shows that the league's first battle will not be because of the distance of the 3-win difference.
The Timberwolves beat the Nuggets today, putting a lot of pressure on the Lakers and also a chance. Only get the top 6 rankings in the West, can get the Western Playoffs through car tickets, do not want to become a play-off team, the Lakers' task is very large, the current Lakers from the Timberwolves to reach 2 wins difference, facing the Timberwolves' two consecutive wins, the Lakers' current 3 consecutive losses are indeed a bit of shame, but the Nuggets lost the game today, Also let the Nuggets win difference with the Lakers shortened to 4.5, the Lakers still have a chance to hit the top 6 in the West, but the Lakers need to face a difficult battle, the later schedule time is still relatively generous, the problem is that the Lakers showed competitiveness, enough to make them become the Western Conference playoff team?
