Chaos, chaos, the West is all chaos! The current situation in the first two games of the Western Conference is like this, the Suns 1-1 Pelicans, the Grizzlies 1-1 Timberwolves, the Warriors 2-0 Nuggets, the Lone Rangers 1-1 Jazz! With the exception of the Warriors and Nuggets, the remaining three groups are all drawn. And it's interesting that these six teams are more uncertain about a draw. The first is the sun and pelican group, and uncertainty is now in the sun. Booker retired from injury at G2, and the injury is not known at the moment, so in the series between the Suns and Pelicans, Booker became the biggest X factor. If he can return to the next playoffs, it is fine, if he is slightly absent, then one or two games, the suspense of the game is not easy to say.
The Grizzly Bear and Timberwolves group is yours anyway, not too much of a problem. The first Game of the Timberwolves was to beat the Grizzlies to the ground, and then the second game of the Grizzlies beat the Timberwolves by 28 points. Not necessarily, the next two home games back to Minnesota, if the Timberwolves are a wave, the Grizzlies are not easy to play, the key is to see G3. And the Lone Ranger and Jazz this group is really all up to Mitchell to support, the original proper 2-0 lead, now played 1-1, the uncertainty is big, there is news that Doncic will return in G3, of course, this is not a smoke bomb is not easy to say, but the Lone Ranger is not Doncic's words are still not easy to play.
The bottom four teams in the West are almost all in order, and there is no big surprise. And the top four teams in the West, except for the Warriors, have their own difficulties. The Suns are Booker's new wound, the Grizzlies are facing the Timberwolves' talent, and the Lone Rangers are Doncic's return date undetermined. In contrast, the Warriors are the best of the top four teams in the West, 2-0 Nuggets not to mention, the two games won a win-win 36 points, hard power has surpassed the Nuggets. At the same time, for the Warriors, the next task is to win the G3, as long as the Warriors can win the G3, it means that the Warriors have most of their feet in the second round of the playoffs.
And judging from the first round of playoffs, only the Warriors won the Nuggets in an almost indiscriminate mode, and the feeling of winning the two games was exactly the same. All are five or five in the first quarter, five small forces in the second quarter of death to gain an advantage, the third quarter staged three brave rhythms to open the point difference, the fourth quarter nuggets symbolically rebelled against the half quarter ball, and the last half of the quarter was garbage time. The Warriors win the ball in this pattern, which gives people the illusion that the Nuggets are too weak? Because the Nuggets seem to have no counterattack at all, they are always suppressed by the Warriors, which seems a bit one-sidedly suppressed.
But what about the playoffs thing? A 2-0 lead is not a big advantage, it can only be said to be a good start, the top four teams in the West are currently equivalent to the same running line, because everyone has not yet gone to the away game to win. When do the playoffs start for the home team? Winning away from home is the real beginning, the work before winning away is preparation, and winning the away game is the real strength suppression.
