look at the specific ranking. After the Grizzlies beat the Nets 116-111 today, their first regular season win this season has finally arrived. Unfortunately, the Grizzlies still rank 13th in the West with 1 win and 2 losses. The Nuggets' record that defeated the Rockets became 1 win and 2 losses, and their ranking also rose slightly to 12th in the Western Conference. After the Jazz defeated the Thunder, which ranked No. 1 in the Western Conference yesterday, the Jazz's record also came to 2 wins and 1 loss, rising to No. 4 in the Western Conference.
With Lillard’s 31 points and McCollum’s 20 points, the Trail Blazers defeated the Lakers 115-107, where James and Davis played at the same time, in a matchup in the Western Conference. , The Trail Blazers returned to No. 5 with a wave of 2 consecutive victories, while the Lakers dropped from No. 4 in the West to No. 9 in the West. The Lakers' record was only 2 wins and 2 losses. It seems that the Lakers, who have formed a super-luxury lineup during the offseason, still need a lot of games to turn their talents into wins.
The Clippers and the Kings did not play today. They are ranked 6th and 7th in the Western Conference. After losing, the Thunder also dropped directly from No. 1 in the West to No. 10 in the West. The most surprising was the Houston Rockets. This team lost in both games, first lost to the Trail Blazers, and then again. Lost to the Nuggets today, but the Rockets missed one game. Their first match with the Thunder was postponed. I believe this game is a good chance for the Rockets to win.
In addition, the inability of many of the Rockets’ main players and rotation players to play also indirectly led to the team’s loss. Moreover, the Blazers and the Nuggets are two opponents for the incomplete Rockets. Too strong, but with the outstanding performance of the two giants Harden and Wood, I believe that with the return of Gordon, Cousins and Wall, the Rockets will return to their normal rhythm.
However, in the Western Conference rankings, the Rockets ranked 15th in the Western Conference with 0 wins and 2 losses, and the bottom one. The Rockets are also the only team that has failed to win since the start of the Western Conference. However, the difference between the Rockets and the No. 1 Pelicans in the West is only 1.5 games, and the Rockets have one less game. That is to say, although the Rockets’ record looks the worst in the West, the Rockets are actually the No. The difference between one is not that big, and the Pelicans can be caught in two games. With many players coming back in the next game with the Kings, I believe the Rockets will make a comeback and start the winning streak mode.
The gap between the 15 teams in the West is no more than 1.5 games, which further illustrates the fact that there are no underdogs in the West this season. At least from the beginning of the game, every team in the West has entered the playoffs. Hope is better than the Lakers Clippers, and did not stand out in terms of ranking. The Timberwolves, Spurs and Thunder, who look like underdogs, have not always lost. It can be said that the strength of the Western Conference team this season is closer. Yes, this season is also better.
