Bulls were widened by the Heat, and the Raptors won four consecutive victories to chase the Cavaliers!
Bucks defeated the Jazz strongly, making the competition for No. 1 in the Eastern Conference still have a chance. Although the Heat and the Bucks still have 2 wins, this gap will not guarantee that the Heat will win the position of the boss of the Eastern Conference, because the Bucks are the defending champion team and they are still looking for the rhythm of winning the championship. Of course, after the 76ers lost, there was a 3-game difference between the Heat. What height can the combination of Embiid and Harden and reach? It is only worth looking forward to. The only thing that makes people heart-wrenching is that the Bulls are widened by the Heat. As the No. 1 team in the East before the Heat topped the East, the Bulls lost more than they won and won less than they won for a while, and they have been widened by the Heat. Today, the Bulls were defeated by the West's bottom king. Such a Bulls are indeed a little helpless. When they reached the critical sprint stage, the Bulls did not show their competitiveness.
Can the Nets get the ticket to the Eastern Conference playoffs direct train? It seems that the probability is not as great as the Raptors, because the Raptors won four consecutive victories after defeating the Lakers, and they are only 1 win away from the Cavaliers, the sixth in the Eastern Conference. Obviously, if the Cavaliers did not defeat the Clippers today, the Cavaliers might be in danger. It is still uncertain whether the Cavaliers can maintain the top 6 seats in the Eastern Conference. The biggest competitor should be the Raptors, because the Nets are actually still 4 wins and games away. Unless Durant can bring the Nets out of 10+ consecutive wins, the Nets really don’t have much chance to hit the top 6 seats.
The Warriors won four consecutive games but did not overtake the Grizzlies, and the Lakers lost 2 consecutive games in danger!
This season, Suns should be no suspense. The team with the record number one in the league. The competition for second in the West will still be born between the Grizzlies and the Warriors, because the Jazz lost the game today, and there is still a 5.5 win difference between the Warriors and the Grizzlies. Such a gap should be difficult to make up for such a gap in the competition between experts. Of course, can the Warriors win in the second place in the West? Curry's 34th birthday night exploded, breaking his birthday night score record. Unfortunately, the Warriors did not overtake the Grizzlies in four consecutive victories, because they had the advantage of winning or losing. The Warriors, with the same record as the winning rate, were still ranked behind the Grizzlies. It can be seen that the competition for second place in the West is in full swing. Whoever loses consecutively will be widened. It depends on whether the Warriors and the Grizzlies care about the second place in the West, because the significance is not very great. In the end, they will be opponents in the second round.
Timberwolves performed well, completely leaving the Lakers and the Clippers apart. However, if the Timberwolves want to get the Western Conference Playoffs direct ticket, they still need to work hard.The Nuggets are indeed playing very well today. Whether Jokic can make a MVP in a row is indeed not optimistic according to the current record of the Nuggets, but the Timberwolves want to catch up with the Nuggets and get the top 6 seats in the Western Conference. The 1.5-game difference seems to be not very big. However, if you want to achieve this goal, the Timberwolves must also curse the Nuggets to lose when ensuring that they win. However, the Nuggets' competitiveness should not be worse than the Timberwolves. However, the Timberwolves should be very likely to become the playoff team this season. Even if it is not a direct ticket, the competitiveness currently shown by the Timberwolves may still stand out in the playoffs.
Yes, the Timberwolves' performance is also reflecting the Lakers' helplessness. After being overtaken by the Timberwolves, the Lakers not only cannot overtake the Timberwolves, but also face the pursuit of the Pelicans. The Lakers' two consecutive losses are in danger, because James has tried their best.
The Lakers are currently 29 wins and 39 losses, with a winning rate of 42.6%, ranking 9th in the West, while the Pelicans have 28 wins and 40 losses + a winning rate of 41.2%, ranking 10th in the West. Currently, the Pelicans are only 1 win and the Lakers are less than 1 win. Obviously, if the Lakers continue to play like this, the Pelicans are really likely to surpass the Lakers. In the regular season sprint stage, it is difficult for the Lakers to get a playoff spot. Even if they barely get it, they are the most difficult team to compete for a playoff spot. In the current dilemma of the Lakers, can the 37-year-old James still change the situation with his own strength?
