It s in chaos! The latest NBA Eastern Conference strength list: Cavaliers No. 1 and 76ers No. 7!

On August 8, after more than a month of free market, combined with the comprehensive evaluation of trading, signing and draft markets, the NBA officially announced the latest Eastern Conference team strength list! Compared with the previous list of forces, the rankings were all messed up. The two major powerhouses, Celtics and Pacers, dropped sharply, from first to ninth and third to twelfth respectively. Let’s take a look at the specific list given by the NBA:

No. 15: Nets (12th in the last issue), 14: Wizards (15th in the last issue), and 13: Hornets (14th in the last issue)!

No. 12, Celtics (Last issue 3)

Comment: From the overall perspective of the past five years, the Celtics are the best teams in the league in both offense and defense. Last season, they shot 53.6% from the field and scored more than 14.7 points per game on just three-pointers, more than twice as many as any other team (Cleveland ranked second with a score of 7.3 points per game). They only had 22 of their 93 games last season with all 6 top players (their preferred starter plus Horford), and it is obvious that this is also a team of hope ruined by injuries! During the offseason, they decisively traded Holiday and Porzingis to turn season expenses from over 500 million US dollars to just over 200 million! They don’t have much record requirements in the new season!

No. 11: Bulls (9th in the last issue), 10: Raptors (11th in the last issue)!

9th, Pacers (Previous Issue 1)

Comments: Halliburton was reimbursed for the season, Turner switched to the Bucks, this team suddenly lost both internal and external cores, and it depends on the lack of these two people in the new season. What kind of offense can the team play, and how many surprises Carlisle can bring us is worth looking forward to!

8th, Heat (10th last issue)

7th, 76th (13th last issue)

Comment: The management of the 76ers should regret it now. Paul George, Embiid and Maxi only played 294 minutes last season. During these times, the 76ers scored 0.5 points more than their opponents in every 100 attacks! George had undergone knee surgery last month, and Embiid was believed by most members of the league to be unable to fully recover from health. Such a team doesn't understand why it can rise to 6 places and rise to seventh in the Eastern Conference. What's worse is that the team also lost Yabuselle!

No. 6, Bucks (6th of last issue)

Comment: In the past nine seasons, only two teams in the league have all entered the playoffs, and the Bucks are one of them. But they have all been out of the first round in the past three seasons, with 21.6% of their scores coming from fast breaks or second-offensives. They rank in the top five in terms of true shooting, free throw and turnover rates, but they rank last in offensive rebounding and are a very weird team. This offseason, the team cut Lillard and signed Turner to make up for the vacancy of Daluo's departure. In addition, it was to renew the team's core rotation players with a series of incomprehensible contracts. Overall strength can only support them in the playoffs. It is unrealistic to go further. What's worse, famous speaker Shams reported that Antetokounmpo may still leave the Bucks!

5th, Hawks (8th in the last issue)

Comment: With Trae Young's progress, this team made great progress last season. According to statistics, only 6% of their shots last season came from medium distance. In the small ball era, they improved the quality of their shooting to the extreme! But what prevented them from going further last season was defense. In the offseason, Porzingis, Walker and Kennard won three top-level combat powers, and the offense and defense ends were further improved compared with last season. Pole and Walker bring the team urgently needed defensive resources. Kennard's three-point ability makes the team's offensive end more powerfully. In my opinion, the Hawks are at least in the top four in the West!

4th, Pistons (5th of last issue)

Comment: The Pistons are the first team to score at least 5.0 points higher per 100 offenses in the past 17 seasons (since the 2007-08 season) to score at least 5.0 points higher than last season. As the strongest dark horse in the Eastern Conference last season, Cunningham showed the ability to lead the team as a historical superstar. This team did not have much operation during the offseason, and mainly maintained the lineup of last season. Jaden Ivey's return and Osal Thompson's development may give the Pistons another momentum beyond Cunningham.

3, Magic (7th in the last issue)

Comment: Offensive problems have always plagued this team. The Magic's offensive efficiency has never reached the top ten in the league in the past 10 seasons. This problem has been further magnified in the playoffs. Last season's playoff Magic set the league's worst offensive level in the past 29 years (scoring per 100 offensive points are 4.7 points lower than the league's average), but this team's defense is great, ranking in the top three in the defensive efficiency for two consecutive seasons, and is the only team in the league! The management prescribed the right medicine in the offseason, in exchange for Bain to solve the team's offensive and three-point shooting problems. As of now, Bain's career three-point shooting percentage is as high as 41%, and his defensive end is also the top level in the league. He can get a lot of opportunities around Wagner Jr. and Ban Kairo.. Discovering problems and solving them, the Magic also got the cost-effective point guard Jones, and there was a reason for the ranking from seventh to third!

2nd, Knicks (2nd last issue)

Comment: Last season, the Knicks were the team that relied on the starting lineup in the entire league. The starting lineup played 940 minutes, at least 226 minutes more than any other lineup in the league. In every 100 rounds, the net better than the opponent 3.3 points! On the other hand, in the past two seasons, the Knicks ranked last in the league in terms of playing time for rookies or second-year players. The defeat to the Pacers in the East was a short rotation loss! In the offseason, the team fired Thibodeau, renewed Bridges, and signed Abussele and Clarkson. Thanks to the decline in overall strength in the Eastern Conference, the Knicks are still ranked second. He will play the strongest blocker of the Cavaliers in the new season!

1, Cavaliers (4th in the last issue)

Comment: Last season's regular season, the Cavaliers were the only strong team that could match the Thunder on both offense and defense, and it was also the only team in the East that defeated the Thunder in the regular season. The offensive efficiency of 121 per 100 rounds is 7.3 points higher than the league average! As the league's number one offensive team last season, 9 players in the lineup made more than 36% of their three-point shooting percentage. The total net winning score in the first round of the Heat reached 122 points, setting an NBA record! During the offseason, the team retained its main core structure, sent Jerome away, and got Ball + Nance. The overall lineup has been steadily improving. The biggest problem is injury. If Ball can get out of past injuries, then this team in the new season is definitely worth looking forward to. Ball's arrival can provide the team's most lacking outside size and defense, and Nance can also alleviate the pressure of the double towers. Compared with the last period, the ranking has risen by three places to first, which shows that the league is still optimistic about the Cavaliers' prospects for next season!
