1-5: Clippers, Lakers, Jazz, Suns, Warriors;
6-10: Trailblazers, Grizzlies, Spurs, Mavericks, Nuggets;
11th-15th place: Thunder, Pelicans, Kings, Rockets, Timberwolves;
The Lakers lost first
The Clippers beat the Suns by 19 points. A wave of 5 consecutive victories, with a record of 11 wins and 4 losses, successfully squeezed out the Lakers and ranked first in the Western Conference. The recent performance has been quite eye-catching, the top team in the Western Conference.
In addition, the overall strength of the Lakers is very strong, after all, they have two giants, James and Davis. However, it has been a bit of a paddling rhythm recently, and it seems to be able to force a 50-50 match with any team. However, the current record of the Lakers is 11 wins and 4 losses, but only ranked second with a slight disadvantage, there is still a chance to regain the first position in the future.
At the same time, the battle between the Los Angeles duo- Lakers and Clippers -has just begun and is expected to continue throughout the season and even the entire playoffs , and be careful.
The Warriors rebounded strongly
From the two-game losing streak at the beginning of the season to now defeating the Lakers and Clippers,The Warriors are gradually regaining their form and are rebounding strongly. At present, with a record of 8 wins and 6 losses, they have climbed to 5th in the Western Conference. They have held up a wave of pressure on the schedule. The playoffs are not a problem.
This season, Curry played 14 games on behalf of the Warriors, averaging 28.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 6.3 assists in 34.4 minutes, shooting 44.9% from the field and 37.3% from the three-point field.
So far in the season, Curry has been controversial, but then he proved his ability to lead the team with a strong performance, and his restraint on the line of defense is unprecedented. Flanking is the norm, and 1 staring 4 league reappears. In addition, as teammates improve, Curry will get enough space to support, at least not playing so hard.
Many teams grab the 8th place
Compared to the East, the West has more pressure on the top eight. Span1span Nuggets can only rank 10th in the West with a 50.0% winning rate, which is comparable in competition fierce. Currently, Grizzlies , Spurs, Mavericks and Nuggets have very close records, hovering around the 8th place, grabbing the top 8 spots in total.
In addition, the Mavericks and the Nuggets were last season's Western Conference playoff teams. Their performance this season was a bit lax. Doncic has reached the ceiling, and the Nuggets are still paying for the offseason operations. At present, the two teams have achieved 7 wins and 7 losses, ranking 9th and 10th in the Western Conference. Then we need to refuel, otherwise it will be difficult to catch up in the Wild West.
