Beijing time January 1st, the first day of the new year, NBA had 7 more battles. Today is the Eastern team against the Eastern team, the Western team against the Western team, the West has a total of 6 teams played, 3 civil wars. So after the game, the rankings of the Western Conference teams have also changed a lot, once again becoming a mess. The Suns chased the Clippers for three consecutive victories, the Warriors approached the top 5, and the Rockets overtook 4 teams in a row.
1-4: Clippers, Suns, Pelicans, Kings
Suns have won three consecutive victories, and the opponents in these games are not weak, namely the Kings, Pelicans and Jazz. It can be seen that the Sun made the right decision. They spent a lot of money to introduce the 35-year-old Paul. What they valued is Paul's experience and leadership. And Paul did play the role of a leader, he taught Booker how to win the game. After three consecutive victories, the Suns are currently 4 wins and 1 loss, ranking second in the Western Conference, but in fact they have the same record as the Clippers.
5-8: Lakers , Timberwolves, Jazz, Trailblazers
Only the Jazz have games today. They have scored several big contracts in the summer, but now the record has not met expectations. Mitchell's downturn is one of the main reasons. In the 4 games, although Mitchell still scored 21 points, his shooting percentage was only 34.1%, which was completely absent from last season's playoffs. Of course, it's normal for the star's state to fluctuate, and Mitchell can still be adjusted back after all. Z1z Gobert , who got a big contract, averaged 17+14+2+1.5 per game, which is a slight improvement. It seems that his contract is only slightly premium, and overall it is good.
9-15: Spurs, Warriors, Rockets , Mavericks, Nuggets, Thunder, Grizzlies
Warriors are only ranked 10th, but in fact, from 6th Timberwolves to 10th, their record is 2 wins and 2 losses. That is to say, the Warriors' record is close to the top five in the Western Conference. And they also have a lot of good news. Curry is in good shape, Ubre Wiggins feels recovery, Green is coming back soon, and will usher in 7 consecutive home games, Warriors team finally adjusted.
The Rockets have over 4 teams in a row, rising from the bottom to 11th. Of course, they only won today's game, beating the Kings by 3 points. The ranking can be improved so much, mainly relying on peers, the Mavericks, Nuggets, and the Thunder, the three playoff teams last season, it is difficult to win a game, their lineup is relatively complete. And Grizzlies , lost general Morant, it is difficult to get a good record in a short time.
The competition in the West is really too big. At present, except for the Thunder and the Grizzlies injury, the other 13 teams all have the strength to compete for the playoff tickets. 13 choose 10 (there are rules for the card game this season , 7-10 players have to play card position), it is too cruel.
