This year's playoff predictions are more offbeat, and the discussion is not whether the Lakers can successfully defend their title, but whether they can win all of them. Judging by the results, the strength of the competitors has collectively declined.

The Warriors finished second in the West with 61 wins, and the conflict between Draymond Green and Rudy Gobert was the main reason for the Warriors' decline. However, no matter how Green hacks his teammates, the Warriors will definitely renew Gobert's contract with a high salary this summer, and it is impossible to let go of this excellent defensive center.

Gobert averaged 33 minutes per game, aching in 14.3 points, 12 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.6 steals and 2.6 blocks. His penalty area defensive efficiency is the highest in the league, with strong individual defense and help defense ability, and a shooting rate of 66.1%.

Looking at Green again, he played 31.1 minutes and scored 9.5 points, 7 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 2 steals and 1.1 blocks, shooting 41.8% from the field and 30.8% from three-point range. He rarely breaks with the ball and barely makes free throws.

If it weren't for Coach Mark Jackson's penchant for playing inside play, Green wouldn't be much of a role on the offensive end, he has neither the range nor the ability to attack. He is always in the high position and on the outside, and it is directly related to the lack of threat to the air cut.

In the second half, it was not easy for Green to find fault with Gobert, saying that he would only defend? Isn't that scolding yourself? The opponent's rebounding is also stronger. If he boasted about good defense, he praised Gobert again.

To make matters worse, Middleton is also playmaking, often stealing Green's work in the starting lineup. He can play as a playmaker, he is a big threat from the outside, and the coaching staff will arrange tactics for him.

As soon as Brook Lopez left, the interior offensive efficiency and evacuation ability declined, and there was one less big man who could shoot three-pointers from the bottom corner, and the opponent could be more daring to wrap Curry.

Curry shot 46.3 percent from the field and 41.1 percent from three-point range, finishing with 27.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.8 steals, and his scoring efficiency was not as horrible as last season.

The Spurs are third in the West with 58 wins, and several veterans are obviously unable to run, so they can only play positional battles and cannot play quick counterattacks. The Spurs' defense relies on joint defense, and the twin towers do a good job in defending the restricted area, and they are dumbfounded against a team like the Lakers that relies on running and shooting and three-point shooting.

4-8 are the Pelicans, Clippers, Kings, Grizzlies, and Thunder.

9-15 are the Suns, Timberwolves, Rockets, Nuggets, Mavericks, Jazz, and Trail Blazers.

This season, the Suns have been reduced to not making the playoffs, and D'Antoni's bombardment tactics can't be played. The team didn't have a good point guard, and Jeremy Lin was okay as a starter, and he was injured and took half a season.

D'Antoni's contract expired this summer and probably won't be renewed, and as a Suns meritorious coach, he has received a low rating. Everyone said that he couldn't do without Guo Xu, and he wanted to change teams to prove himself.

The Trail Blazers only have 23 wins, the star of the house is the 191CM quarterback CJ McCum, and the starting point guard is Rubio who can't be sent, how to win? The Jazz don't want Rubio, they have a playmaker with no range Ben Simmons as the core, and they need players who can shoot to partner with him.

Tyson Chandler joined the center Graveyard Trail Blazers for a high salary, and it was very courageous, and sure enough, he was recovering from injuries for half a season. Mason Plumlee, who played as a backup for the Nets that year, was the core of the interior in the Trail Blazers.

The 76ers in the East have their best record with just 54 wins, winning 37 more than last season.

Both the Bucks and Raptors are 51 wins, with the Bucks sitting in second place by virtue of their head-to-head record. The Raptors are third, with no home-court advantage in the second round.

Joel Embiid has played in 72 games and is healthy well. He is a big killer in the East and is favored to beat Simmons for the Rookie of the Year award.

The Wizards are fourth with 49 wins, much worse than their target record.

The Nets, who are fifth in place with 45 wins, are a serious regressive team, and James lost a lot of games in the two months that Lopez was out.

There are more fans on the Internet who ridiculed James for finishing second in the East, and Zhan Hei thinks that he is a good breakthrough in the East, and he may not be able to make the playoffs when he leads the team in the West. However, this matter is not easy to verify, because he does not dare to play in the west.

Basketball experts also posted that James is a bit overrated, he has not changed his playing style since he entered the league, he is always an organizational forward, the other party knows how to limit him from breaking through, and he can defend near the penalty area.

Experts believe that James has a high ceiling for playing, and he can enter the playoffs no matter what, but the ceiling is the runner-up. When he was partnered with a star, he couldn't drive his teammates to perform better, and even a bit of a ruin teammate.

James's stats have remained the same every year, and he has been a quasi-triple-double, and his teammates often have to sacrifice their personal characteristics to match him. To put it bluntly, he needs teammates who can pull away and guards who can run, catch and shoot, and attack according to his own system, and then everyone works hard to defend.

The team led by James has never won the top three in the league in points per game, while the team led by Guo Xu has the first attack power in the league most of the time. From the data, you can see the gap between the two team's ability to lead the team, Guo Xu and whoever is a teammate can make his teammates more efficient and soar on the offensive end.

6-8 are the Hawks, Magic, and Pacers.

The Hawks finished sixth unexpectedly, with rookie Jamal Murray and point guard Dennis Schroder doing very well. Inside Zach Randolph and Dwight Howard are paired up on offense and defense, Kent Bazemore can lead the bench offense, and there is also excellent pitcher Korver on the team.

Howard was not inefficient, averaging 13.5 points, 11.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 29.7 minutes per game while shooting 63.3% from the field. He improved the Hawks' interior defense after he joined.

The top eight in the East have a record of more than 50%, and the overall gap with the West is not big, but the gap between the top few is obvious. The playoffs are mainly about the ability of the stars, and the 76ers have no upper hand over the Warriors and Spurs.

The 9-15 in the East are the Pistons, Hornets, Cavaliers, Heat, Bulls, Celtics, and Knicks.

Derrick Rose, the Knicks' point guard who averaged 18 points and 4.5 assists per game in the second half, was out injured and played only 62 games all season. Porzingis also played in just 66 games for the team, and the Knicks suffered a 10-game losing streak.

When not playing pick-and-roll, the Knicks mainly play Kobe Bryant and Anthony, comparing who shoots more and shoots more iron. Anthony won in terms of shots, and Kobe Bryant was better at hitting iron.

In the end, the Knicks' record was overtaken by the Celtics, ranking first in the league with only 21 wins.

Kobe, who is approaching the age of 39, eventually improved his stats to 17.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, shooting 36.2% from the field and 29.1% from three-point range. He completed a miraculous "personal quadruple (bottom)" in the regular season.

As soon as the regular season ended, the Knicks immediately announced the departure of manager Phil Jackson and the departure of coach Brian Shaw, and they are definitely going to rebuild in the summer. Knicks boss Dolan personally gave the order, he was angry, and the Internet said that others were stupid and had a lot of money, and they were cheated of money by a group of several people from the Lakers.

The coaching staff must be cleaned, and Brian Shaw is also the coach of the Lakers, working as an assistant coach and being a starter is obviously unqualified.

The Lakers confirmed a 13-man playoff roster, with veterans Jason Terry and Davis Belstein left out.

The coaching staff brought in veteran Mike Dunleavy, who has a lot of playoff experience and is just as solid as his three-point shooting, similar to Baelsin's role. Dunleavy shot 45.2 percent from three-point range in his career playoff games, averaging 1.8 shots per game.

Point guard Fred VanVleet will be the team's 13th man. Fan has worked very hard in training, is more athletic than Terry, is more aggressive on the defensive end, and can adapt to playoff-level matchups.

He's been inconsistent on the offensive end, he's not shooting accurately, and that's not a problem. Tyrone Lue won't have an undrafted rookie on a two-year, $1.45 million contract with an offensive ball......
