Despite the NBA's strong teams, the Lakers, Nets, Warriors and 76ers have always been recognized as the "four big traffic teams." Today, these 4 teams actually lost at the same time. So, through these 4 games, how far are these 4 teams from their respective season goals?
Today, the 76ers took the lead against the Suns, losing 104-114. Embiid blasted 37 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks on 14-of-27, but Nannai Harden (2-of-11) and Maxi (7-of-21) both shot at the bird. For a time, harden's argument that he must drop the chain every time he plays a major game has re-emerged.
But as fans have since quipped, the siege of Harden has not yet officially begun, and the sunspots' interest has immediately shifted. First, despite Wiggins, Klay Thompson and Poole scoring 20+ points each, the Warriors still lost to the Wizards 115-123, with 1 win and 4 losses in the last 5 games; then, the Lakers were reversed by the Pelicans after leading by 23 points, losing 108-116. The Lakers lost 28 points in the second half.
In the end, the outcome of the final game of the game was also decided, and the Nets lost 110-119 at home to the Hornets. Durant and Irving both had a pull on offense, with the former scoring 27 points in the game but a dud in the final quarter, and the latter scoring only 6 of 22 points, including 9 of 9 three-pointers, despite having 16 points, 1 assist and 2 blocks.
It can be seen that the four major traffic teams not only lose collectively, but also lose a variety of goals. So, with this loss, how far are these 4 teams from their season goals?
The Lakers' season goals have been downgraded, and now the goal is only to reach the playoffs through the playoffs. But the Lakers lost the card slot battle in this game, and this season no longer has the advantage against the Pelicans. What's even more dangerous is that the 11th-ranked Spurs are now only one win behind the Lakers. The Lakers still have hope, but as coach Vogel said after the game: "There is not much time left for us." ”
The Nets have high ambitions since Irving lifted the ban, and this game is also the home debut of the European text season, but the most realistic goal should be to leave the playoff area first. After losing the Nets, they are currently 9th in the Eastern Division with 39 wins and 36 losses, 3.5 wins behind the Raptors, who are 6th place in the Eastern Zone, and 6 wins ahead of the 11th Knicks. Considering the Nets' future schedule is second easiest in the league, they still have a chance of making it into the top 6 in the East Side.
The 76ers' most realistic goal is to take first place in the Eastern District. But after losing the game, the 76ers lost the first place in the Eastern Division and dropped to the fourth place in the Eastern Division. If he occupies the first place in the Eastern District, embiid's probability of being elected MVP will undoubtedly increase greatly. Today, the top 4 in the East Side are only 0.5 wins apart from each other, the ranking changes every day, and the 76ers still have a chance.
As for the Warriors, their goal for the season has also been adjusted several times like the Lakers, and now it may be to keep the top three in the West Zone, while praying that Curry can return as soon as possible with blood. In the Warriors' cliff relegation, Kerr also found out the winning pattern before Curry's return, and the Warriors wanted to keep this goal estimated to be difficult. (Supine Braces/Hairy)
