The NBA All-Star Weekend has come to an end, and the NBA regular season has begun again. To put it bluntly, the strength of each team at this stage of the season has basically been displayed in front of everyone's eyes. So the question is, what kind of ranking will the NBA league be after All-Star Weekend? In response to this question, the famous sports media BR gave us the answer, let's take a look at what kind of answer BR gave.
Top 3: Suns (49-10), Grizzlies (41-20), Warriors (43-17)
The Suns have been going to be playing very hard in recent times, because Paul's injury will make this team much weaker. It can even be said that whether the Suns can keep the league's first throne after Paul's injury is a problem. In fact, not only the Suns have problems, the Warriors are currently having very big problems, and the question is when Curry will be able to get back to form. You know, Curry shot 41.6% of the three-point shooting rate in the first 23 games, but after these 23 games, Curry's three-point shooting rate showed a straight decline, which is obviously the main reason why the strength has slipped to the third.
4-10 are: Heat (38-21), Bucks (36-24), Green (35-26), Philadelphia (35-23), Lone Rangers (35-24), Cavaliers (35-24), Jazz (36-22)
These teams focus on the Bucks and Philadelphia teams. First of all, the Bucks, recently the Bucks gave people a feeling of "let the block kill, the Buddha block the kill buddha", in the last 10 games the Bucks have won 6 victories, with the arrival of this wave of victories The Bucks' ranking has also risen to the fourth position in the East. Again, as long as the Bucks can stay healthy, the Bucks are still one of the league's most capable teams competing for championships.
Philadelphia's record in recent times has also been very good, with their record in the last 10 games being 6-4. It is worth mentioning that Harden has not yet played for the team, and we have not seen any effect of Embiid and Harden working together. However, I always believe that as long as Harden and Embiid can actively sacrifice their own data for each other, then Embiid and Harden may really become another "OK" combination.
Places 11-20 are: Bulls (39-21), Nuggets (34-25), Raptors (32-25), Timberwolves (32-28), Hawks (28-31), Nets (31-29), Clippers (30-31), Hornets (29-31), Lakers (27-31), Pelicans (23-36)
These teams talk about the Nets and Lakers, and the Lakers and Nets are undoubtedly the two most optimistic teams to win the championship at the beginning of the season. However, now that the Nets' Big Three have fallen apart, the Lakers are on the brink of the playoffs. First of all, the Nets, the last 10 games of the Nets record can be completely described as dismal, the last 10 games of the Nets record is 2 wins and 8 losses, with the arrival of this wave of failures the Nets' record has also slipped to the 8th in the East. But there is also good news for the Nets, that is, the addition of Simmons will undoubtedly increase the Defensive intensity of the Nets. Also, once Durant returns from injury, the Nets will still be one of the strongest teams in the East.
Speaking of the Nets, speaking of the Lakers. If the Nets still have hope, the Lakers may not really have any hope. The Lakers did nothing in the trading market some time ago, and Davis was injured again at a critical moment in the impact of the playoffs. More importantly, there seems to be a contradiction between James and the Lakers management at present. In general, the current Lakers' big ship is now in a lot of holes, not to say whether the Lakers can win the championship but to ask the Lakers whether they can still play in the playoffs.
The last 10 are: Spurs (23-36), Knicks (25-34), Wizards (27-31), Kings (22-39), Blazers (25-35), Thunder (18-41), Pacers (20-40), Magic (13-47), Rockets (15-43), Pistons (14-45).
