NBA rankings are in chaos! 3 teams in the Western Conference grab 2nd place, and the Clippers are 3rd from the bottom; the strong power in the Eastern Conference has fallen, and 3 dark horses are in t

With the deepening of the NBA regular season, the competition for NBA rankings has become more and more intense. Whether it is the East or the West, great changes have taken place compared to last season. Many old and strong teams have fallen, and new-generation teams have become the protagonists, leading to chaos in the NBA rankings! The 3 teams in the Western Conference are competing for second place, and the Clippers are third from the bottom; the strong power in the Eastern Conference has fallen, and there are 3 dark horses in the top 3!

The 3 Western Conference teams compete for second place!

The Thunder are at the top of the Western Conference, ranking first in the Western Conference with a record of 17 wins and 1 loss, and 3.5 games ahead of the second-place Lakers. The team's goal this season is to go straight to 70 wins, and even the Warriors' record of 73 wins!

The competition for second place in the Western Conference is much more intense! The Lakers have 13 wins and 4 losses, the Nuggets have 13 wins and 4 losses, and the Rockets have 11 wins and 4 losses. The difference in victory and loss between the three teams is only 1 game, and they all have the possibility of winning second place!

The Lakers have been in very strong form recently, winning a wave of 5 consecutive victories and winning consecutive games. Especially with James' comeback, the Lakers' three ball-holding cores not only completed a good transition of ball rights, but also further improved the team's offensive firepower. The current Lakers are qualified to occupy the second position in the Western Conference!

The Nuggets are still solid in the Western Conference. Having Jokic is their biggest advantage, but the Nuggets' disadvantages are also obvious. Apart from Jokic, the team does not have a second player who can take the lead. There are still some problems with the depth of the team's bench, which also makes them not very advantageous in competing for a higher ranking!

The Rockets' lineup is very deep, which is their greatest confidence. There are many players on the team, and the outstanding performance of Sheppard and Holiday has gradually guaranteed their backcourt and outside firepower! However, the Rockets also have problems. The team's integration is not that good, and their performance at critical moments is also somewhat insufficient. Shen Jing needs to be tougher and more stable, Amen needs to improve his shooting, and Durant also needs to ensure his competitive level!

After the third team, the Spurs ranked fifth with 11 wins and 5 losses. Wenban's injury caused his strength to decline. The Suns have recovered this season and are ranked 6th in the Western Conference with 11 wins and 7 losses. The Timberwolves are ranked 7th with 10 wins and 7 losses. However, their performance has begun to decline, especially when they lack competitiveness against strong teams! The Warriors are ranked 8th with 10 wins and 9 losses, the Trail Blazers are ranked 9th, and the Clippers have fallen to third from the bottom in the Western Conference!

The Clippers are third from the bottom!

The Clippers had high hopes this season, but unexpectedly, they have only achieved a record of 5 wins and 13 losses so far, ranking 13th in the Western Conference. Not to mention the championship, they are even far away from the playoffs!

The Clippers have many problems now. Not only are they plagued by injuries, but the team's lineup is too old. Veterans such as Paul and Luo have completely lost their role. Harden's ability to cover the bottom is also declining. Kawhi can't guarantee attendance. There are problems on both ends of the team's offense and defense!

On the offensive end, the Clippers lack firepower from the outside. Apart from Harden and Kawhi, there is no stable scoring point. The bench is even more fragmented, relying entirely on a group of fringe NBA players. The stability is very poor! On the defensive end, Jones Jr. was injured and the team's lineup was too old, resulting in a significant drop in defensive level. The team's offense and defense declined, and it was definitely not as sharp as last season. It is quite difficult to enter the playoffs this season!

Latest ranking of the West:

The Eastern power has fallen, 3 dark horses in the top 3!

Compared to the Western Conference, the Eastern Conference is even more chaotic this season. The top three are all dark pony teams!

The Pistons are currently ranked No. 1 in the Eastern Conference. They have won 13 consecutive victories and are ranked No. 1 with 15 wins and 2 losses. They are the proper big BOSS in the Eastern Conference. However, this team was still at the bottom of the league in the first three seasons. The team has risen rapidly!

The Pistons' lineup is very reasonable. Cunningham and Duren are the team's dual cores. Harris, Robinson, and O'Saar also have sufficient firepower support. There are also good generals such as Ivey, Stewart, and LeVert. This season's Pistons really have a lot of hope of reaching the finals!

The Raptors have improved even more rapidly. They didn't even enter the play-offs last season. This season they have won 8 consecutive games and ranked second in the Eastern Conference with 13 wins and 5 losses!

The Raptors also played very reasonably. The team's lineup structure is quite good. The core lineup of Barnes, Barrett, Ingram, and Quickley is not weakly competitive. Of course, their biggest problem is injuries. If they stay healthy, there will be something to watch this season!

The Heat are also a dark horse, ranking third in the Eastern Conference with 12 wins and 6 losses. The team's offensive firepower is amazing, and its scoring average ranks first in the league. Spoelstra's training is indeed very good. They are also a big spoiler in the Eastern Conference this season!

The rise of three dark horses in the East also represents the fall of many powerful players in the East! The Green Army currently ranks 10th with 9 wins and 8 losses. It will be difficult to enter the playoffs this season! The Bucks ranked 11th with 8 wins and 10 losses. It has become difficult for the Bucks to keep Antetokounmpo! The Pacers have plummeted, finishing second from last with 2 wins and 15 losses. Haliburton's injury has dealt a fatal blow to the team, but this team is dormant. When the new season comes, they may bring huge surprises!
