One-fifth of the NBA game has been played this season, so what is the current ranking in the Western Conference? For the January 23rd game, there are 6 games that will affect the ranking. In general, the current Western Conference rankings are set. The top teams have a three-legged position and the central teams compete fiercely.
The Rockets beat the Pistons 103-102. In fact, it doesn't matter whether the Rockets win this season or not. The important thing is how to get the No. 1 pick, so it seems that if you win, you lose. In addition, the Timberwolves lost to the Eagles 98-116. This is a game without suspense. The Timberwolves will lose wildly when they come up. The Timberwolves have run out of motivation this season, they are going straight to the lottery zone again, and the team is muddled for another season.
The match between the Lone Ranger and the Spurs was not as lively as the battle between the Bulls and Horses. Doncic led the Lone Ranger to defeat the Spurs 122-117, and the winning percentage rose to more than 50%. There was no suspense between the Thunder and the Clippers. The Clippers finally defeated the Thunder 120-106. In the big game between the Suns and the Nuggets, the Suns finally lost 126-130, which is quite a pity. The Kings finally won. This was not easy. They defeated the Knicks 103-94.
As far as the current ranking is concerned, it is also quite interesting. The top eight teams are the Clippers, Lakers, Jazz, Suns, Trail Blazers, Grizzlies, Mavericks, Nuggets, and 9-15 teams are the Warriors, Spurs, Thunder, Kings, and Pelicans. The lican, the rocket, the Timberwolves.
The current Western Conference layout has been set. The Clippers, Lakers, and Jazz are the first-tier teams. The Clippers and Lakers take turns to take the first place. The Jazz actually have a chance. These three teams have already left behind those behind them, so as long as they don't appear in a losing streak, they will always stay in the first rank, which is the top team. Of course, the Clippers' 6-game winning streak and the Jazz’s 7-game winning streak are also very domineering.
The head team is a three-legged team, while the middle team is highly competitive. With the deepening of the season, the Big Dark Horse Suns have shown their true shape this season, their winning percentage has dropped to 57.1%, and they may deprive the fourth position at any time.In addition, the Grizzlies gained momentum after 5 consecutive victories and returned to the top eight ranks. There are also Lone Rangers and Nuggets, they finally found the rhythm. Especially the Nuggets, at least they were also a Western Conference finals team last season, so this season shouldn't be so vulnerable.
Although it seems that the Warriors and Spurs have been squeezed out of the top eight, they have the opportunity to improve their rankings at any time. After all, the wins between them are negligible. To some extent, the 4th-10th places can be in the middle team category. Teams like the Thunder, Kings, Pelicans, and Rockets, some of them are completely bad, while others want to play well, but their strength does not allow them. As for the Timberwolves at the bottom, they just decided not to list it.
In general, the pattern of the western region is being clarified, and competition is divided into different scopes. The overall competition in the Western Conference this season will be smaller. More importantly, look at the Eastern Conference. They are the protagonists of the big show.
