Yesterday, after watching the Clippers beat the Suns Big Three by 27 points, it is basically certain that the Clippers are guaranteed to be Western finals when they are fully healthy, and the opponents on the way to the championship are afraid of these two: the Celtics and the Nuggets.
This year's Celtics are indeed a bit strong, the current record is the first in the league, the five starting positions are not lost to any team, the center platinum has three points, can open up space, the holiday brother defense **, the starting five people have a high three-point shooting rate. The whole team has run in well, and it is not rusty because of the more new signings this year, and the core of the team is very young, the only shortcoming is that the substitute is a little weaker.
This season, when the Clippers meet the Celtics, they are basically abused, of course, you will say that the small card is not there, even if the small card is there, if you can't limit the vitality of the Green Army's outside line, the Clippers will be completely abused. But fortunately, the Green Army will always drop the chain in the playoffs, and the core of the team is not mature and stable enough, which is fatal.
The second is the Nuggets, the reason why the Nuggets are a threat to the Clippers is because the Nuggets' longboard is exactly opposite the Clippers' shortcomings, and they have a great advantage. The No. 4 or 5 positions of Mr. Jo and Gordon are precisely the Clippers' most vulnerable.
However, the Clippers also have a better position than the Nuggets, as long as they limit Murray's play, let Mr. Yoo play alone, consume his physical strength, and don't let him connect the team, the Clippers still have a pretty good chance of winning.
Some people will say that the eastern digital people are also very strong! Rest assured, digital people will definitely not be able to pass the Green Army this year, and they may not be able to pass the Heat.
The Clippers are indeed strong to stay healthy, but if they play the Lakers in the first round and the Nuggets in the second round, it will be difficult.
Look at the rankings, don't play the Lakers in the playoffs in a row, the Nuggets are not a big problem, the Clippers are weak on the inside, don't worry about the strong outside, George Xiaoka and even Wei Shao can lock the opponent's outside firepower, I'm afraid that Zubac will not be able to meet the super center at this point, and will be opened by the opponent from the inside.
Playing the Nuggets will see Zubac play three games and it will be stable, playing Kaizi will depend on Harden, if you can blow up Holiday and White will win the championship, a series card will blow up two games, and George will blow up one game The rest depends on these two.
The overall strength difference between the top eight in the West this year will not be very large, and whoever wins is possible, and the dark horses are produced from the Thunder, Timberwolves and Mavericks, and they are more optimistic about the healthy Clippers and Nuggets.
The East is a lot clearer, the Green Army is the strongest in the East, and it should be the most promising to qualify, and the Digital Man, the Heat and the Knicks after the exchange are also very powerful! The Bucks exchanged for Lillard's record, which did not rise but fell, and the defense dropped by two notches, and they were not optimistic about the Bucks.
In the case of health, the Eastern Celtics, the Western Nuggets, the Clippers, the Timberwolves, the Lakers, the Nuggets and the Clippers have the greatest chance, don't look at the Lakers now, once they enter the playoffs, in addition to beating the Nuggets, the Clippers and Timberwolves are 46 open, and the Lakers are 91 open to other teams in the West, some people will say that I ignored the Thunder, the Thunder playoffs meet these four teams, can only be crushed, the Thunder main rotation except for Yali paddling played a playoffs, others have zero playoff experience.
