On March 23, Beijing time, the NBA was in full swing, and today the NBA played 8 regular season games, and the latest NBA rankings were officially released after these games. The Celtics and Thunder defeated the Pistons and Raptors respectively in today's game, in this case, the Celtics are ranked first in the East, the Thunder is ranked first in the West, the Pistons are ranked fifteenth in the East, and the Raptors are ranked twelfth in the East, but the Thunder is different from the Celtics, and the current Thunder is only 0.5 wins ahead of the Nuggets, who are second in the West, so it is not easy for the Thunder to sit in the first place in the West, on the other hand, the Celtics are 11 wins ahead of the Bucks, who are second in the East, and it can be said that the Celtics have basically secured the first position in the East.
The Timberwolves defeated the Cavaliers in today's game, although the Timberwolves are still ranked third in the West, but the Timberwolves and the Thunder, the first in the West, are only 1.5 wins, so the next game Timberwolves are not completely without the opportunity to improve their rankings, as for the Cavaliers suffered 2 consecutive defeats, although they are still ranked third in the East, but the current Cavaliers are only 1 win ahead of the Magic in the fourth place in the East, and it is still unknown when Mitchell will return, so if the Cavaliers can't stop the decline at this time, then the Cavaliers are likely to be overtaken by the Magic behind。 Although the Pelicans managed to beat the Heat in today's game, the Clippers also beat the Trail Blazers.
So now the Clippers are also temporarily safe, originally in the case of Ingram's injury, the Heat had a chance to beat the Pelicans, but the Heat had no choice but to lose, and now the Pelicans are still ranked fifth in the West after winning, but the Heat has fallen to the seventh place in the East, as for the Clippers, although they are still ranked fourth in the West, but they are 1.5 wins ahead of the Pelicans in the fifth place in the West, it can be said that the Pelicans do not want to overtake the Clippers for the time being, as for the Trail Blazers after suffering 5 consecutive defeats, they are ranked 14th in the West. As for Wembanyama, although he scored 31 points, 16 rebounds and 5 assists today, Wembanyama missed the three-point shot in the end, and the Grizzlies beat the Spurs, so that the Grizzlies ranked 13th in the West, and the Spurs ranked 15th in the West.
Although the Lakers defeated the 76ers in today's game, the Lakers made too many mistakes in this game, if it weren't for the 76ers' offense being really bad, then the Lakers may not necessarily be able to have the last laugh, the Lakers ranked ninth in the West in this game, and the 76ers suffered 2 consecutive defeats and fell to the eighth place in the East. Although James found an offensive state in the fourth quarter of the game in this game, James made too many mistakes in this game, so the current James really needs to improve two points, the first point is to reduce mistakes, James made too many mistakes in this game, which made the Lakers very passive, so James needs to reduce mistakes in the next game, and the second point is that he needs to be more stable, James's performance in this game is not stable, James played a little sluggish in the first three quarters, and it was not until the fourth quarter that James began to exert his strength, but then when the Lakers faced stronger opponents, James needed to find his state earlier。
The Warriors lost to the Pacers in today's game, and the Warriors lost to the Pacers really not wronged, after all, the Warriors were blown up by the Pacers inside this game, so it is not unusual for the Warriors to lose the game, after this game the Pacers are in sixth place in the East, while the Warriors are in tenth place in the West. And after losing this game, the Warriors are really dangerous, after all, the current Warriors are only 2 wins ahead of the Rockets, and the next schedule of the Rockets is still relatively simple, on the other hand, the Warriors will next play against the Timberwolves, Heat and Magic, it can be said that none of these teams are soft persimmons, but if the Warriors suffer consecutive defeats at this stage, the Warriors will not say to catch up with the Lakers, and then the Rockets may overtake the Warriors at any time, so the crisis of the Warriors is really coming.
