There are many NBA games today, including Hornets 120-11 Magic, Heat 106-93 Nets, Pacers 100-118 Raptors, Hawks 102-99 Pelicans, Wizards 116-107 Celtics, Lakers 115-123 reversed by Thunder 26 points, Timberwolves 113-108 Bucks, Grizzlies 96-116 Trail Blazers, Foreign 110-107 Suns, Cavaliers 92-79 Clippers.
The Bucks and Nets, both teams considered Eastern Conference powerhouses, both lost the game today. Compared with the Eastern Conference record rankings in the previous period, the Bucks Nets' rankings have both declined. The Bucks fell from fourth in the East to seventh in the East, and were about to fall out of the top 8 in the East. If the Bucks cannot stabilize the situation in the next game, the Bucks, as the championship team, will face a humiliating ranking.
Nets lost is indeed heartbreaking. Durant played so well, but he still couldn't lead the Nets to win. It seems that the Nets' goal of winning this season is not so easy to achieve. Compared with the Eastern Conference rankings in the previous issue, the Nets fell from 8th in the Eastern Conference to 12th. If the Nets want to win, they can't rely solely on Durant.
In addition, the 76ers are still ranked 9th in the Eastern Conference, the Raptors are 10th, the Celtics 11, the Magic 13, the Pacers 14, and the Pistons 15. Currently, the Pistons are the only team in the league that has not won. The Thunder defeated the Lakers and won the first victory of the season.
Back to the situation in the Western Conference, the Suns, the runner-up last season, was really heartbreaking. After losing to abroad, they would lose two consecutive times. It is hard to say when they can rebound. Ayton, who has not received a maximum salary renewal, may not want to play for the Suns with all his best efforts, and Paul is also one year older.
Currently, the Lakers rank 9th in the West, Clippers 10, Rockets 11, Suns 12, Spurs 13, Pelicans 14, Thunder 15. As brothers in distress, the Suns did not show their strength as the runner-up last season, and the Lakers did not play the expected results. The Lakers, who originally returned to the top 8 in the West, faced the Thunder, which was at the bottom of the West, missed the opportunity and was eventually reversed by the Thunder. The Thunder who won the game was still ranked 15th in the West, but the Lakers who left the top 8 in the West, and the Lakers who could not continue to rise had too many problems to solve. If it was not solved well, perhaps the top 8 in the West could not be matched with the Lakers. Let alone the championship, the Lakers might have to consider the issue of playoff quota first.
The top 8 teams in the Western Conference seem to be not very poor at the moment. The Timberwolves have also been improved. You can no longer regard the Timberwolves as a non-playoff team. The only possible changes are the Kings. The Grizzlies with Morant are still worth looking forward to.
is worth mentioning. Currently, there are only three teams left in the league that have not lost, namely the Bulls who have won four consecutive games, the Warriors who have won four consecutive games, and the Jazz who have won three consecutive games. Compared with the complete lineup of the Warriors and Jazz, the Bulls, whose NBA-TV has been replaced by live broadcasts in the United States, will be a huge challenge whether they can win five consecutive victories in the Knicks, the second-place in the East. Moreover, the Bulls star Zach Lavin is likely to miss this game due to injury.
Who will lose the game first? This Friday's schedule is a huge test. The Bulls with incomplete star lineup is the highest possibility of getting off the ship against the huge Knicks. What do you think?
