The NBA power ranking has been announced. The Los Angeles Lakers are in the top 10. On the other hand, the fall of the Philadelphia 76ers, which was considered a powerful dark horse, has no wings.
Still, the top three are in the top ranks. The Oklahoma City Thunder are No. 1, the Cleveland Cavaliers are No. 2, and the Boston Celtics are No. 3.
They are the strongest teams dominating the NBA East and West Conferences this season.
The east is divided by the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics, and the west is dominated by the Oklahoma City Thunder.
CBS Sports said on the 16th (Korea time) that the Los Angeles Lakers, which recruited Luca Doncic, have entered the top 10 list.
The Los Angeles Lakers ranked eighth, up three spots from last week. The Los Angeles Lakers, with Doncic, recorded 1-1 in the series against the Utah Jazz.
It's not perfect yet. However, Doncic's condition is not yet complete. It is expected to return to normal after the All-Star break.
Doncic's Gravity was still powerful. In particular, LeBron James seems to be making all-out efforts to harmonize with Doncic. The team has definitely become stronger. It is true that there is a problem with the defense under the basket due to the failure of big man Mark Williams' trade. It's not like the Los Angeles Lakers have emerged as the perfect favorite this season. However, the combination of Doncic and LeBron alone has definitely transformed the Los Angeles Lakers into a different team.
It is also meaningful that the big three have a slight crack.
Oklahoma is gradually consolidating its dominance. The ORTG is a whopping 124. The expected score per 100 shots is 124. The arrival of key big man Chet Hommegren made it even more powerful.
A strong defense and a thick backup member are holding on to the Shai Gilzer Alexander-Jylan Williams one-two punch.
On the other hand, the fall in Philadelphia is endless. It fell two notches to 25th place. Joel Embiid repeats his participation and absence in the aftermath of a knee injury. It is also difficult to win the game with Embiid. Paul George, Tyreece Maxey are struggling, but the team chemistry doesn't fit at all.
