On October 18, 2022, Beijing time, the new season of NBA is about to begin. The NBA officially released the first strength list of the new season. In this list, Warriors ranked first without any suspense, the Nets entered the top ten, and the Lakers ranked only 19th.
Specific rankings are as follows: 1. Warriors, 2. Bucks , 3. Celtic , 4. Suns , 5. Clippers , 6. Philadelphia , 7. Nuggets , 8. Grizzlies, 9. Heat , 10. Nets , 11. Cavaliers, 12. Raptors , 13. Mavericks , 14. Timberwolves , 15. Hawks, 16. Pelicans, 17. Bulls, 18. Knicks , 19. Lakers, 20. Kings, 21. Trail Blazers , 22. Wizards, 23. Magic, 24. Rockets, 25. Pistons , 26. Hornets , 27. Thunder, 28. Jazz, 29. Pacers, 30. Spurs .
In this ranking, it is unquestionable that the defending champion Warriors won the first place. Bucks is also one of the teams with the most chance to compete for the championship in the new season after the three core members recovered from injury. After Leonard returned to the team, Clippers also became the top five teams in the league's strength list, and the top ten teams are basically the favorite teams to compete for the championship in the new season.
. The Mavericks ranked 13th after the signing seems to be a bit low. The Timberwolves of the four giants also ranked 14th! The most noteworthy point is Los Angeles Lakers . They only ranked 19th, which also proves their distrust of them. I wonder if they can bring surprises to fans in the new season.
