On April 16, 2003, the 2002-2003 NBA regular season, all the games were over, and then there will be a two-day break, and on the 19th, the first round of the playoffs will be contested, the Houston Rockets lost the opportunity to enter the playoffs after losing to the Los Angeles Clippers, and they had no intention of fighting in the last back-to-back games on the 16th, and finally lost again, and finally only ranked tenth in the West.

The Los Angeles Clippers ended early on the 15th, and in all regular season games this season, they finally finished with a record of 82 games, 73 wins and 9 losses, creating a new best regular season record, and achieved the first place in the regular season this season, and their opponent in the first round of the playoffs, that is, the Utah Jazz, who finally broke through successfully, ranked eighth in the West, the first game between them was scheduled for April 19, first at the home court of the Los Angeles Clippers.

Other first-round matchups in the West: San Antonio Spurs vs Portland Trail Blazers, San Antonio Spurs' record this season is still eye-catching, they have a record of 60 wins, ranking second in the West, and the first round opponent is the Portland Trail Blazers, who are ranked seventh in the West, the Portland Trail Blazers have declined in strength after a number of trades in the summer, and the sequence of being able to enter the playoffs has greatly exceeded everyone's expectations, and the first round of the playoffs met the old and spicy San Antonio Spurs, there is almost no possibility for them to win.

Sacramento Kings vs Los Angeles Lakers, the Sacramento Kings, ranked third in the West, performed very amazingly this season, their Princeton tactics, gorgeous and fast, attracted a lot of fans, but they never thought that due to the region, they encountered the Los Angeles Lakers who had problems in the regular season in the first round of the playoffs, performance in the playoffs.

Dallas Bulls vs Minnesota Timberwolves, the fourth-ranked Dallas Bulls in the West, in the first round of the playoffs, met the fifth-ranked Minnesota Timberwolves, judging from the regular season records of the two teams, there is actually a clear gap between the two teams, don't look at them one ranked fourth, one ranked fifth, in fact, there is a difference of 9 wins between them, one is a 60-win team, one is a 51-win team, the Dallas Bulls' record is the same as the San Antonio Spurs ranked second in the West, They finished behind the San Antonio Spurs because of the win and loss, and because they were in the same division as the San Antonio Spurs, they were placed in fourth place, but they actually had one more win than the Sacramento Kings in third place.

At the end of the regular season, many awards this season have also been produced, the first to be released is the king of each individual data, this season's scoring champion is, Orlando Magic's Tracy McGrady, the assist king is Jason Kidd of the New Jersey Nets, the steal king is Allen Iverson of the Philadelphia 76ers, the rebounding king and the block king are two pieces, and the Los Angeles Clippers Jason Green averaged 15.9 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per game to take away both honors and became a strong contender for the best defensive player this season.

This season, for the Los Angeles Clippers, it is a bumper season, not only Jason Green is a strong contender for the best defensive player, the best coach award, although it has not yet been announced, but no one will doubt that Coach Bill Fitch will not win this award, a record 83 wins, enough to understand all the problems, this award is already in the pocket of Coach Bill Feiqi, no one can compete with him this season.

There is also the best sixth man, this award, there is a lot of controversy, the focus of the controversy is not the name of the winner, but whether Ginobili should, participate in this selection, this season, Ginobili has not started once, 82 games off the bench, he fully meets the selection criteria for the best sixth man, but the Los Angeles Clippers' style of play this season, so that Ginobili's playing time and data are completely comparable to starters, and in this award, he also has no opponents.

Best Rookie, this award has nothing to do with the Los Angeles Clippers, now the two main contenders are Yao Ming, and Amarestad Meyer, the playing time of the two is about the same, the data is about the same, the regular season rankings of the two teams have become, the biggest criterion when judging, Tiger was in the last life, because the Phoenix Suns finally, with the eighth place in the West, squeezed into the playoffs, and Amare Stadmeier took the award, now it's not good, Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets, The ninth and tenth places in the West this season, respectively, did not make the playoffs, and now the result is in suspense.

The Most Improved Player Award, this award can have nothing to do with the Los Angeles Clippers, but the person who is most likely to win this award has a relationship with the Los Angeles Clippers, he is Gilbert Arenas, who was traded to the Denver Nuggets this season Arenas, without the many troubles of the Los Angeles Clippers, quickly showed his talent and has become a hot new star in the league.

Finally, the most high-profile regular season MVP award, there are many candidates for this award, most of the players on the shortlist announced by the league are the league's superstars, Tiger Washington of the Los Angeles Clippers, Jason Green, Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs, Kevin Garnett of the Minnesota Timberwolves, the league's new scoring champion, Tracy McGrady of the Orlando Magic, Shaq O'Neal of the Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe Bryant, and Allen Iverson of the Philadelphia 76ers.

In this list, in addition to the new scoring champion Tracy McGrady, and the fully grown Jason Green, the two can be regarded as newcomers, and the others are already well-established figures, Shaq O'Neal and Kobe, because of the Los Angeles Lakers' record this season, there is little hope of winning the award, Kevin Garnett is a frequent visitor to this list, but due to the record of the Minnesota Timberwolves, it is difficult to win this award.

San Antonio Spurs Tim Duncan, was last season's regular season MVP, this season San Antonio Spurs performed very well, but due to the Los Angeles Clippers' 83 wins, Tiger Washington, although this season's data is not beautiful, but he is still the most popular candidate, Jason Green's voice is also very high, especially Jason Green just got the rebounding king and block king, which increased the weight for him.
