On the 13th (Korea time), ESPN announced the NBA's power ranking.
The big three system is a public announcement. The Cleveland Cavaliers are in first place in a row. There are no injuries and 14 consecutive wins. The second place is Oklahoma City. He leads the West with 53 wins and 12 losses. He is the strongest player in the West this season, and ace Shai Gilders Alexander ranks first in the MVP race. The Boston Celtics are in third place, and the Denver Nuggets are in fourth place with Nikola Jokic. And the L.A. Lakers were fifth. After joining Luca Doncic, the Los Angeles Lakers are strong. The Golden State Warriors jumped 12 notches to eighth place.
CBS Sports also announced its power ranking on the 14th. The Los Angeles Lakers were eighth and the Golden State Warriors were 10th. It entered the top 10 side by side.
The two teams struggled early this season. He moved around the top 20, let alone the top 10.
However, at the end of the season, the two teams are a powerful dark horse and bringing a ranking typhoon. The Los Angeles Lakers have LeBron James out with a groin injury, but Doncic's effect remains strong. There are weaknesses in the big man, but LeBron and Doncic are overcoming many weaknesses by maximizing synergy when they play together.
Golden State is more likely to show its power the more it plays.
The harmony between Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler is quite ironic. Curry is the founder of the modern basketball trend. He is the greatest three-point shooter of all time representing Face & Space and the creator of a new history that destroyed classical basketball. On the other hand, Butler can be said to be the support of classical basketball. Both inside and outside attacks are possible, but there are weaknesses in 3-point shooting. He is quite good at defense, but he is an old school forward who prefers high-probability attacks such as post-ups under the basket or mid-jumper rather than attacks on the outside. However, when combined with Curry, the synergy is ironically intense. Curry's three-pointer combined with Butler's ability to get free throws. Golden State has emerged as a team that has to crack down on offense under the basket as well as on the outskirts. It has a strong synergy effect. In addition, the defensive coordination with Draymond Green is quite strong.
Golden State's team power itself has been upgraded with Butler's joining. It's completely changed. Golden State's offensive route, which was heavily dependent on Curry, was diversified, and its defense, which showed lack of experience around the green, became solid. Another important fact. Butler is very strong in the playoffs, which is a short-term game. The Boston Celtics, who are considered one of the strongest this season, and Butler, the main character who held the Milwaukee Bucks back in Miami. In other words, Golden State could emerge as a strong dark horse in the Western playoffs.
