For example, James Harden and Damian Lillard fell in the second round of the playoffs at the same time. In this case, fans will say: Lillard is good, the semifinals are considered to complete the goal; The comment is: Another playoff with a hip pull! So in the NBA there is always a group of stars who you can always tolerate his failures, let's take a look at it below!
The two looked at each other, what were they thinking at this moment? 10th place in
: DeRozan , the last time he was selected as an All-Star was in February 2018!
Have you been calm about whether DeRozan made the playoffs? In fact, DeRozan is only 31 years old, which is the golden age of a guard, but since joined the Spurs and came to the West, DeRozan has not been selected for the All-Star and the best team for three years!
We once ridiculed him and Lowry as rubbish brothers, but now he still hasn't turned corrupt into magic under Popovich, so it can only be said that the player's upper limit is only like that!
After Leonard and DeRozan swapped, the value of the two was immediately reflected!
ninth place: Kemba Walker , there will be no more All-Stars and best lineups in the future!
As soon as the playoffs ended, Kemba Walker was abandoned by the Celtics!
In fact, what the Celtics need more is Paul , Dragic , Rondo , which is a more organizational point guard, so it was a mistake for the team to introduce Irving at that time, and ended in a failure. After the season, the Celtics did not change their mistakes, but replaced Irving with a less efficient offensive guard Kemba Walker!
Walker was the Bobcats boss for 8 years before being selected to the All-NBA third team. Now that he is in the West, his chances should be even slimmer!
Jordan once had high hopes for Walker! 8th place in
: Kyle Lowry ,Winning the championship in 2019 changed people's perception of him!
After winning the championship in 2019, everyone seems to have forgotten Kyle Lowry's reputation as a "trash brother". In the eight seasons of his career, Lowry's playoff performance declined sharply in five seasons. For example, 16-17 Lowry scored 22.4 points and 7 assists in the regular season, but when it came to the playoffs against the Bucks, Lowry's data dropped to 14.3 points!
Lowry has only been selected to the All-NBA Third Team once in 15 years in the league. If he hadn't met Leonard in 2019, Lowry would really be "not good enough"!
Raptors trash bro!
seventh place: Wiggins , can he be selected for the All-Star and the best team in the future?
In 2015, when Wiggins held the Rookie of the Year trophy, the limelight was unparalleled. At that time, at the feet of Wiggins were Embiid , Jokic, LaVine , Randall, Capela, Go Deng, Nurkic , Dinwiddie, etc., now look at these people?
We often joke that Wiggins can make it to 50, but can he make an All-Star before 50? I think the probability may not reach 50%!
6th place: Downs , there is no better team than him!
Some stars perform well in the regular season, but the playoffs will fall off the chain, but Towns cannot even succeed in the regular season!
26.5 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 4.4 assists. He can score, rebound, and assist. In addition, he has a 41.2% shooting percentage from the three-point line. No matter how you look at it, it is the performance of a superstar. In this case, the Timberwolves only have 19 wins, ranking second to last in the West!
This happened in the 2019-20 season, and the difference in the level of leadership is nothing more than this!
Butler: It's up to me to make the playoffs!
fifth place: Bradley Beal,The resident guest of the empty cutting group!
Bill has averaged 30+ per game for two consecutive seasons, so this at least proves that Bill still has a certain level of personal strength! However, this season, when Bill scored 40+ points, the team's result turned out to be 2 wins and 6 losses, including the famous 60-point loss to the 76ers in the crucial battle!
How to turn personal data into team wins is the most important thing Bill needs to learn right now!
Fourth place: Westbrook , have you been used to seeing Westbrook fall in the first round of the playoffs!
Who would have thought that Westbrook, who was so bad at the beginning of the season, would have achieved a triple-double at the end of the regular season!
In addition, in the playoffs, Westbrook also scored a triple-double, with 19 points, 10.4 rebounds and 11.8 assists, and a little bit more eye-catching is the 33.3% shooting percentage!
After Durant left, I think most fans have become accustomed to Westbrook's performance. If Westbrook falls in the first round of the playoffs again next season, will there be a wave in your heart?
These two leaders have average abilities!
third place: Simmons , his situation is completely different from that of Antetokounmpo!
Antetokounmpo’s shooting is not good, but he still has the ability to score 30+10 in a series, but Simmons can’t. For example, in the playoffs just past, Simmons played against the Eagles. In the series, he scored 4 points, 8 points, 6 points and 5 points respectively. What else can you expect from a max-paid player like ?
Second place: Lillard, in our perception, he is the level of the first round of tours!
Although Lillard has been arrogant and unreasonable for three points in the past two years, it seems that he is really comparable to Curry , but when Lillard really fell in the first round of the playoffs,Are you really surprised by this?
CJ McCollum, Nurkic, Covington, Anthony, in fact, the Blazers' lineup is very competitive. In the end, all this can only prove that Lillard is an ordinary star who is more than enough!
Mitchell's cap is Lillard?
1st place: Mitchell, the best chance was wasted by the Jazz!
There is no better chance in the West than this year. The Lakers, Clippers, and Nuggets are full of injuries, and the Suns are just a group of young brothers who have never made the playoffs. As a result, the Jazz, who have the first record in the league, still failed. Own!
Mitchell's salary is 5.2 million this season, 28.1 million next season, Gobert is 25.78 million this year, and 35.23 million next season, so the team's salary has increased by as much as 33 million , which means The Jazz will never have such a good rotation in the future! And the Jazz will definitely not be able to rush out of the West with Mitchell and Gobert, so Lillard's today may be Mitchell's tomorrow!
