The 2-8 places in the West are the Spurs, Thunder, Warriors, Lakers, Mavericks, Nuggets, and Grizzlies.

After joining the Spurs, Brazilian player Split joined veteran Antonio McDyce to strengthen the team's interior defense and take the pressure off Duncan. The two players have mediocre stats, but their role is not small, and they can also hit the basket and respond to the offense on the offensive end.

Richard Jefferson's stats continued to decline this season, averaging only 11 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, but he was transformed by Vicky to fit the team system, shooting 47.4% from the field, 44% from three-point range, and averaging 1.7 three-pointers per game.

George Hill and new signing Gary Neal can also shoot three-pointers to stretch the Spurs even wider.

The biggest problem for the Spurs is the lack of a super scorer and poor offensive ability, and Ginobili, who has scored the most, is only averaging 17.7 points per game. Duncan played only 28.4 minutes and his stats slipped to 13.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.9 blocks.

The Grizzlies caught the last train of the playoffs with just 43 wins. The Nuggets also have only 44 wins, and not all playoff teams in the West have been strong this year, and both teams have varying degrees of weakness in their rosters.

The Grizzlies were poached Mike Miller and didn't sign Tony Allen. After dropping Ray Allen, Celtic let Toney stay.

The Grizzlies' wing defense has become very poor, and they have relied on the second half of the playoffs to make the playoffs, and because of the poor record in the early stage, Gasol and Randolph were not selected as All-Stars.

Since the resignation of Jerry West, the Grizzlies' general manager, and the replacement for Chris Wallace, the team has gradually lost its offensive and defensive balance. Boss Helis treated this person as a treasure, and renewed his long-term contract with him in the summer, looking at Chris's previous work history at the Celtics, he was simply mentally retarded.

There was a gimmick in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, and Corpoe returned to the Staples Center to face off against his old club. Bynum, Brand, Bogut, Bosh and others have also been selected for the All-Star Game. The Warriors and Lakers are both trident configurations, young players compete, and Curry also has a lot of interest in Ellis.

However, experts agree that Ellis has the advantage, with his ability to break through and his physical fitness better. Curry, an elementary school student who can dunk solo fast-break dunks, often suffers when defending such speed players.

9-15 are the Rockets, Hornets, Clippers, Jazz, Kings, Timberwolves.

The Kings have only 28 wins, ranking second to last in the West, and the two stars are useless offensively, and the interior and exterior defense is a mess.

The Timberwolves have only 17 wins, a worse record than last season.

The Timberwolves' forward line looks good, but Josh Howard is completely useless after a major injury. After Beasley joined, he came to grab the right to brush up the data, destroying the team's only blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation. Gay's breakout and ball-sharing ability is average, and the offense relies too much on jump shots.

Al Jefferson, the core of the interior line, has slipped after his injury, and his offense is strong and his defense is weak, and the newcomer Pekovic is also a heavy interior lineman who is slower than Jefferson.

The most unfortunate was point guard Steve Blake, who played in just 53 games due to injury. The new manager of the Timberwolves took office in the summer, and he took the initiative to send last season's backup point guard Tylawson to the Nuggets, and there is no guard on the team who can organize the offense.

The Eastern Cavaliers are in first place in the East with a 63-19 record, only two fewer wins than the Suns, and this time the gap between the two sides is not much.

This result gave President David Stern a headache, James Crab walked casually, the home whistle plus the star whistle, and in the end, the record was still not as good as the home whistle weakened Suns.

The Suns' offense this season is significantly lower than last season, averaging only 112.8 points per game, but after the departure of Jr. Gasol, Gasol Jr. played a better defense in the starting box than last season.

Gortat, Ibaka, Haslem, Hill and others also work hard defensively, as long as Guo Xu does not release water, the Suns have no obvious weaknesses on the defensive end. If you want to beat the Suns, there is only one way to go, that is, to shoot on the outside, Guo Xu is not afraid of people breaking through, and the interference shooting is poor.

The Suns' average points per game have dropped by more than 10 points, and they are still the top three teams in the league in terms of offensive power.

And what disappointed Stern the most was that the Cavaliers' ratings and popularity were far from those of the Suns, their games were ugly, and James's style of play was also ugly.

The Cavaliers have multiple stars, but they are averaging only 103.4 points per game, conceding fewer points than the Suns, only 95.6 points.

The Cavaliers have always taken a balanced offensive and defensive route, averaging about 100 points per game every season, mainly pushing positions. The Cavaliers mainly play a set of tactics on the offensive end, that is, James's own organizational forward tactics, and the opponent has traces to follow.

The Suns have not complained about the league's penalty scale, and they have quietly ruined their plan to give other teams home-court advantage in the playoffs, and they have not offended the president.

The 2-8 places in the East are the Knicks, Heat, Bulls, Magic, Nets, 76ers, and Celtics.

After Iverson's departure, the 76ers made the playoffs without major changes to the roster, and the young players all returned to the NBA from the CBA.

That's bad news for the Suns, who are seventh in the East despite only 38 wins, and the first-round pick that the Suns traded for was heavily devalued, outside of the lottery.

And the Suns' position is awkward, and the eighth place in the East is likely to select Kawhii Leonard at 15th, and who will be selected at 16th? Guo Xu couldn't think of it for the time being.

It's just that the Celtics are not angry, the 37-win regression is too great, and they only finished eighth after missing two stars.

Even more invincious than the Celtics is the Hawks, O'Neal Jr. killed the Hawks alive, his stats dropped sharply, he played 32 games and was reimbursed, and he couldn't find the rhythm of the game again.

Nash is also starting to weaken, and the 37-year-old is getting worse and worse defensively. Josh Smith can't hold up the wall in the mud, has practiced shooting for many years, and his mid-to-long-range shots are still not scored, and only the basket is efficient.

When the Hawks suffered injuries, their record slipped all the way out of the playoffs in the second half of the season.

9-15 are the Hawks, Bucks, Bobcats, Pacers, Pistons, Raptors, Wizards.

The Raptors' decline has been even more staggering, with the team leaderless after Bosh left.

The Wizards are as bad as ever, they can't win the ball and can only brush up comfortably, and the interior and exterior defense are rubbish.

Guo Xu won two data kings in the regular season, and the rebounding king was won by the Wizards' Kevin Love, averaging 15.2 rebounds per game.

Most of the time in the Wizards, Love played center, responsible for defending the restricted area and getting rebounds. Tabit has no chance to play, that is pure wastewood, if he and Love start together, the first quarter will go into garbage time, no defense.

The steal king is the Hornets' Paul, who averages 2.4 per game.

He failed to lead the team to the playoffs, and after Lewis's form slumped, the only person on the team who could help him share some of the offensive pressure was Ryan Anderson. "The Great" Oden played steadily and was reimbursed again.

The block king is Lakers center Andrew Bogut, who averages 2.6 per game.

After Bosh arrived, Bogut began to transform into a blue-collar direction, reducing his shots and making his defensive stats more beautiful. He also averaged a career-high 11.1 rebounds per game and was able to score just 12.6 points.

The Suns confirmed the 13-man playoff roster, Rasheed Wallace and Morris Peterson two veterans were left out, O'Neal, who had been injured for a while, was added to the squad, and the fat man was more useful than Rashid as long as he could play.

Peterson has been playing soy sauce this season, his quality has declined too much, his defensive ability is gone, and the coaching staff has brought Jeremy Lin after thinking about it, and garbage time can allow young players to get on the field to exercise.
