Upset 1-4!The NBA era has changed, and James Durant needs to give way.
It's been a long time since the NBA era, and James or Durant can't stand alone.
After more than 30 games, the Nuggets are in second place in the West, 21-10. After Brown joined the Pacers, the Nuggets continued to be a major starter, and the team was very competitive when Murray was in good shape. However, there are many dark horses in the East this season, such as Minnesota, who have occupied the first place in the West for more than a month.
As the backbone of the team, Edwards has grown rapidly after a World Cup experience, and he is already a scoring champion for the Timberwolves. Edwards scored 34 points, five rebounds and 10 rebounds against the Kings and is only the third Timberwolves ever to score more than 30 points, five rebounds and 10 assists in two games.
Moreover, this season, with Holmgren's strong defense and Alexander's overall play, the Thunder have achieved a good 18-9 record and are third in the West.
However, in addition to the Nuggets and Thunderbolts, teams like the Kings, Pelicans, and Rockets have also shown surprising levels.
In order to defuse the conflict between Poole and Green, the Warriors traded him back. Although the Warriors ended their defeat and won five games after the team change, they still finished in 10th place. In addition, both the Lakers and the Suns are in serious decline, and James alone is not helping the Lakers, and the problems of the Big Three are also bothering them.
In the new era of the NBA, superstars like James and Durant alone can't guarantee victory.
Youngsters like the Timberwolves, Thunder, Magic and Rockets have shown their strength and energy.
