NBA power rankings: Clippers continue to lead, Lakers rise, Warriors fall in the rankings!
On February 6, 2024, the NBA's official website released a new NBA roster leaderboard.
On the Clippers' side, morale is high.
It can be said that the current Clippers, both in terms of lineup and tactics, have shown an extremely high level. Since December, the team has topped the league with an impressive 25-5 record, and has consistently topped the league in scoring efficiency, defensive efficiency and shooting percentage. So far, the Clippers have a 33-15 record, sitting in third place in the East, just one game behind the Thunder. Same as last time in the rankings, this week, the Clippers are still ranked first, and they are considered a strong contender for the championship!
The Lakers are riddled with internal contradictions.
As the transfer deadline approached, there were rumors that the Lakers would sell James to the Lakers. Although this rumor has been denied by the Lakers' managers, the current Lakers are still full of uncertainty. The constant flow of transfer rumors has also made the Lakers' locker room even more nervous. Lakers administrators must make a decision by the deadline of this season. So far, the Lakers have been arguably a tough game, and they're now 26-25, sitting in ninth place in the West, and it's been a very tough season. Compared to last year's game, the Lakers' record has improved by 1 point, but it is still bad, only ranked 16th!
Storm Troopers. Compared to the previous WAR rankings, Golden State's WAR still maintained a 21st place this week. It's clear that the Warriors haven't been consistent this season because their main players are older, their form has dropped, and their average height has dropped. In recent times, Curry has been scoring like crazy, but he has not brought more wins to the Warriors, not even scoring 60 points. So far, the Warriors are only 21-25, they are 12th in the East, and they are not in the playoffs. With the current strength, it is almost impossible to win the championship!
Abnormal sun.
The Suns have been star-studded this season, but their performance has not been as good as they could have been. Although there are a lot of scorers, the manager is known for directing the defense. This left the Suns not playing as well as they should on both offense and defense, which led to a slump for the entire team. Although they were able to pull off a few victories thanks to the three giants, it wasn't the best way to win the title. The Suns are currently in 6th place in the Western Conference with a 29-21 record, which is not satisfactory. In the recent rankings, the Suns are ranked 9th in the league just like last time!
The order of power from level 1 to level 30 is as follows:
1-10: Clippers, Celtics, Nuggets, Minnesota, Timberwolves, Thunder, Cavaliers, Knicks, Bucks, Suns, 76ers;
11-20: Kings, Pelicans, Pacers, Mavericks, Magic, Lakers, Heat, Jazz, Hawks, Rockets;
21-30: Golden State, Bulls, Bucks, Raptors, Trail Blazers, Grizzlies, Wizards, Spurs, Hornets, Pistons.
