"Crazy! It's crazy! ”

On April 17, 2013, the Spurs lost to the Timberwolves 95-108 at home, thus ending all the games of the 12-13 regular season with a 58-24 record, and ending the regular season with a defeat.

Looking at Rick Adelman, who is a loser but proudly talks to his old opponent Rick Adelman, who is now coaching the Timberwolves, Popovich who is shaking hands and talking, and Meng Xu, who sat on the sidelines for most of today's game, couldn't help but complain.

I don't know if it's because of the continuous defeat, so that Popovich really doesn't care about the ranking of the regular season, or is so confident that he already thinks he can do whatever he wants, anyway, this season's Popovich, in Meng Xu's opinion, is full of abnormalities, especially in the final stage of the regular season, this wave of operations makes Meng Xu completely incomprehensible.

The Spurs, who have been leading the Western Conference since the beginning of the new season, although in the last few games in March, were overtaken by the Thunder, but in the subsequent games, the Spurs still have a chance to overtake back, and the Spurs, especially Meng Xu, also hope to surpass the Thunder, after all, if they can get the first record in the West, then after encountering the Thunder in the playoffs, the Spurs can occupy the home advantage.

But just when the Thunder was tense up and down and continued to sing all the way, the Spurs' rotation became more frustrating, and the five main players who rotated were routine, even the main players who were not rotated were controlled to play less than 25 minutes per game, which led to the Spurs losing 7 of the 9 games in April, and Shengsheng gave up the first position in the West to the Thunder.

Finally, after the final round of the regular season is over, the Thunder is in first place in the West with a record of 60 wins and 22 losses, although the Thunder three young people disintegrated after losing the Finals, but under the leadership of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, the Thunder played a better season, and the Thunder also led the double less, once again launched an attack on the championship.

The Denver Nuggets can be called the biggest dark horse of the season, after sending away the star Carmelo Anthony, the Nuggets, whose results plummeted, under the leadership of the veteran coach George Karl, have achieved a 57-25 record in the West this season, you know, even the Nuggets during the Carmelo Anthony period have not achieved such an excellent record in the regular season, and this Nuggets team does not have an All-Star level player, this is a complete civilian team, Although they lack stars, the road to the playoffs is destined to be very bumpy, but the third record in the West is also a big step beyond psychological expectations for the current Nuggets.

Behind the Nuggets is the Clippers led by Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, who have been pressed by the Lakers, and finally ushered in the day of raising their eyebrows this season, winning 11 more games than the Lakers, which is enough to make Clippers fans hold their heads high in front of their rivals in the same city.

Ranked behind the Clippers, are the 56-26 Grizzlies, the 47-35 Warriors, the 45-37 Lakers and the Rockets, this season's Lakers, undoubtedly the most disappointing team, before the start of the season to form the Big Five luxury lineup, in the Lakers championship call, in the middle of the season was once hovering around the tenth in the West, almost missed this season's playoffs, although through a wave of sprints at the end of the regular season, the Lakers successfully caught the last train of the playoffs, However, the core of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant, ruptured his Achilles tendon at the end of the regular season, and Kobe's absence doomed the Lakers to not be able to go further in the playoffs.

Unlike the fiercely competitive Western League, the Eastern Conference has shown the Heat to be dominant since the beginning of the season, although the Eastern Conference still continues the tradition of the top three, but the gap between the Knicks and the Pacers and the Heat is too big.

Under the leadership of the Big Three, the Heat not only played the longest winning streak in team history this season, but also created the best regular season record since the establishment of the Heat with a record of 66 wins and 16 losses.

Behind the Heat is the 54-28 Knicks, after trading to Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony, two first-line stars, and hoarding Jason Kidd, Rasheed Wallace, Kenyon Martin, Tyson Chandler, Quentin Richardson and a bunch of former All-Star players, the Knicks finally got rid of the hat of "pit" and "mud can't hold up the wall", not only made the playoffs for two consecutive seasons, but also ranked among the Eastern giants this season, in a pretty good situation, The NC boss of the Knicks is now shouting the slogan of revenge on the Pacers and winning the championship, and if nothing else, the Knicks will meet the Pacers in the Eastern Conference semifinals, of course, on the premise that both the Knicks and the Pacers can eliminate their respective first-round opponents.

Although after Meng Xu retired, the Pacers lost the strength to compete for the championship, but the Pacers have never fallen out of the top five in the East, and last season and the final champion Heat seven games, and this season, the Pacers' record is also steadily improving, Paul George, who has been confirmed by Larry Bird as the core of the team, has also performed very well this season, not only selected as an All-Star, but also led the Pacers to the third record in the East.

This season's NBA league is still showing a situation where the West is strong and the East is weak, the Grizzlies can only rank fifth in the West, if it is in the East, the 56-26 record is enough to rank second in the East, and in addition to the top four in the Eastern League, if the other teams are in the West, they can't even enter the playoffs, so in recent seasons, there have been proposals for regional reform, what North and South division system, a lot of proposals to cancel the East and West Division, but they have been pressed by David Stern.

After all the games in the regular season are over, the playoff first round of the bracket and schedule are released, and the Spurs will face their old rival Los Angeles Lakers in the first round, but due to Kobe's absence due to injury, there is no suspense in this round of the series between the Spurs and the Lakers.
