Chapter 610: The East with Distinct Strengths and Weaknesses
However, no one can say what the future will bring, and the current eagle is enjoying the touting of the whole world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Even the most demanding person has to show respect in front of 73 wins.
Scott Pippen, Dennis Rodman and others who have been looking down on the Hawks also congratulated the Hawks in front of the media.
But they still think that the Bulls of '96 would have done better than the Hawks if they had appeared today.
There has never been a standard for Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong, but the 08-09 season does belong to Atlanta.
The Hawks, who finished the regular season and had the best record in history, became a high-profile existence.
Although the competition in the east is not as fierce as in the west, being able to win the first place in the league is enough to say a lot about it.
With 73 wins and 9 losses, the Atlanta Hawks, who are in first place in the East, have been promoted to the cosmic level, and they are waiting to defend the championship and challenge for the top team in the history of the league.
If this season's Hawks were the league's biggest surprise, the Cleveland Cavaliers could at least be the league's second.
After acquiring Mo Williams in a trade this season, the Cavaliers have developed a magical chemistry, coupled with LeBron James, who is in his heyday and can contribute 28.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 7.2 assists per game, this is definitely a team to look forward to.
With a 65-17 record, it ranks second in the East and ties with the Los Angeles Lakers for second place in the league.
If it weren't for Ruan Erniu's existence, James would now be in the most fierce competition with Kobe Bryant, competing for the honor of regular season MVP.
In third place in the East is the Celtics, who have a big three, with a 60-22 record that is slightly inferior to last year, and the injury of Kevin Garnett undoubtedly makes the league's road to winning the championship full of unknowns.
You know, last year, when the Big Three gathered, the Celtics were all crushed by the Hawks players with youth and speed in the game, and the Celtics, who lost Garnett this year, have no hope of winning the championship.
The triumvirate formed by Green Kai once caused a huge panic in the alliance.
After only two seasons, people are surprised to find that it is not these guys who are shouting about feelings and dreams, they are really getting old now, and they are getting farther and farther away from the dream of winning the championship.
However, there are three teams with more than 60 wins in the east at the same time, which also objectively alleviates the ridicule that the west is strong and the east is weak, at least the top giants in the east are not lost to the west in terms of strength.
Fourth in the East is the Orlando Magic, from the data point of view, Dwight Howard, who averages 20.6 + 13.8 + 1.4 assists per game, should naturally be the second center in the NBA after Ruan Er Niu, coupled with the performance of Lewis, Turkoglu and others, this ball is enough to give people infinite expectations.
However, the injury of the team's main point guard Jamil Nelson in the middle of the season has made the team's prospects uncertain.
Even though the "street ball king" Ralph Alston was traded from the Rockets to complete the team's reinforcement well, the team's head coach Starter Van Gundy still trusts Nelson more, and the playoffs will be their biggest test.
Fifth in the East was the Miami Heat, who helped the Hawks to their 73rd win of the season, but that was in the absence of D. Wade.
Their record this season is 42-40, which is certainly not a playoff record in the West, but it is enough in the East.
As the leader of the team, the Cheeks are only behind the pervert of Erniu in the scoring list, and he played the strongest season of his career, averaging 30.2 points, 7.5 assists, and 5.0 rebounds per game, including career highs in points and assists.
It can be said that D. Wade, who led the team alone, has established himself as a supergiant this season, and even after leaving O'Neal, he is a good enough team leader.
The 41-41 Philadelphia 76ers are sixth in the East, and they could have challenged for a higher spot, but with the start of the season when Elton Brand, who had just moved from Los Angeles to Philadelphia, was out for the season, it all became delusional.
76ers celebrity coach Morris Cheeks was fired, objectively he is a guy who has carried the black pot and fallen into the ground, and from time to time he also mentions his old feud with Iverson.
And after assistant coach Tony DeLeo came to power, he continued to play like Cheeks, and if the 76ers can't make a breakthrough in the playoffs, then they will definitely have a new head coach next season.
The 40-42 Chicago Bulls are seventh in the East, and Derrick Rose should be able to take advantage of that to become a strong contender for Rookie of the Year.
In terms of data, Rose, who averages 16.8+6.3+3.9 per game, does not lose to OJ* Mayo, who averages 18.5+3.8+3.2 per game, but Mayo's ability to lead the team is far less good than Rose, and the Grizzlies, who rank fourth from the bottom in the West, cannot be compared with the Bulls, who are thriving and quickly entering a rising state.
The veteran Detroit Pistons are eighth in the East, with a 38-44 record, a far cry from last year's performance when they were third in the East.
But there is no way, who blames them for doing a good job of Lei Feng, sending FMVP Billups to the Nuggets, and becoming the dream of the championship of the whole society!
Iverson and Motor City have always been at odds, regardless of whether he and Hamilton have a fatal conflict, and whether head coach Michael Curry and general manager Dumas are behind the conspiracy.
The story unfolded before the audience's eyes was that Iverson pushed Hamilton to the bench, and then the team's record deteriorated, and then Iverson and Hamilton swapped places, and the AI outsider returned to the bench, while Hamilton led the Pistons back to the playoffs.
Iverson will certainly not stay with the Pistons next season, and the answer will be to look for a new stop, but I don't know what the next stop will look like.
The Indiana Pacers are ninth in the East and unfortunately lost their qualification to the playoffs, but Granger, who averages 25+ contributions per game, is still the expected star of tomorrow, and Sister Lan is also tied with the Thunder's Durant as a favorable contender for the Most Improved Award.
The tenth-placed Charlotte Bobcats have won two more games than last season and that's it.
There's also no telling when head coach Larry Brown is going to fall out with Jordan, well, Jordan's draft vision is desperate.
Years later, Larry Brown said in front of the media: "I had a good time with Michael, but there were always villains around him, and those people would only praise him unconditionally without giving him the right advice. ”
This point, in fact, is the same whether it is in the East or the West, there is always a villain in front of the monarch.
The biggest poker card is not the four kings, but the big and small kings, and the big and small kings are not depicted as kings, but clowns, which shows that the most terrible thing in this world is not the faint king, but the traitor around the faint king.
The Bucks are in 11th place purely because of injuries, and when two big men on the team, Michael Reed and Andrew Bogut, have been on the injury list for most of the season, what better results can you expect from them.
The Nets failed to trade Jefferson, and they have a full roster, and the reason why they can only finish 12th in the East is because they lack a reliable coach to tune them.
Of course, the rise of Brook López was their biggest takeaway of the season.
The Raptors' fall is astonishing, the previous season they were third in the East, last season they were seventh in the East, and this season they actually became the third from the bottom in the East.
Sam Mitchell deserves to be out of class, and whether he's under pressure from management or not, there's no way he'll be able to take the Raptors any further.
The Knicks have the highest annual salary in the league, but they have become the second-to-last team in the East, and it can only be said that the legacy of the smiling assassins is still affecting the New Yorkers.
As for the Wizards who are at the bottom of the East?
Hehe, everyone knows that since they injured Arenas, they have been running for the top pick!
