The Clippers beat the Celtics, the Nuggets, to become the first in the league.
This season, the Clippers have been in very good form, and they have shown good quality in both offensive and defensive positions. The arrival of Harden has greatly improved the strength of this team. The current Clippers have won five in a row, ranking third in the East, and only one game away from the first-place Thunder. If the team can maintain their physical fitness, then they will win the championship this season. In the past two years, the Clippers have not had a bright record in the playoffs, and this game shows their desire for a championship.
Currently, the Clippers are ranked first, the Celtics, Nuggets, 76ers, Thunder, the Bucks at No. 6, the Suns at No. 9, the Lakers at No. 17, and the Warriors at No. 21. According to the current situation, only the Clippers, Nuggets, and Suns are in the West, and the rest of the teams do not have the ability to impact the West. In the East, there are two super strong teams, the Celtics and the Bucks, and one of them will make it to the NBA finals.
A formal investigation into Embiid's absence.
Embiid's absence upset Nuggets head coach Malone, so he asked the league to investigate whether Embiid deliberately avoided the game. According to NBA reporter Shams, Embiid was not on the injured list, but he confirmed his absence 15 minutes before the game, so now the league is investigating the matter further. Embiid is in danger of being punished.
Embiid and Jokic are the best forwards in the NBA, and both players have earned MVP titles in the last three years. In addition, Embiid and Jokic are both strong contenders for Most Valuable Player this season. However, Jokic, who led the Lakers to a championship last season, showed his level. Embiid's stats are outstanding, but his performance in the playoffs is mediocre, and he is a little jealous of Jokic, so Jokic is a little better than him.
Laker Russell faces a hefty fine.
According to NBA officials, Lakers player Russell was fined $15,000 for throwing the ball into the stands during a game against the Warriors. The league would never tolerate such a thing, so it is not surprising that Russell was severely punished. The battle between the Lakers and Warriors was arguably the best of the season, with two overtime battles. While Curry hit a crucial three-pointer, James also used his layup to draw a foul on the opponent to win 145-144 over the Warriors.
The Lakers are competitive right now, but because they're still on the edge of No. 9 in the East, management wants to swap them out to strengthen their roster. At the same time, Russell, the team's main defender, has also been caught up in rumors that he has been sold. However, due to Russell's recent good form, the Lakers eventually dismissed the idea of replacing him, and perhaps they will still maintain their current starting position for the remaining games.
The conclusion is: the Clippers have relied on consecutive wins to become the number one team in the power rankings, and Embiid's absence has also made the team a lot of attention and some doubts. And during this period, Russell of the Lakers was also severely punished by the league for his wrongdoing. The above three major news not only reflect the current status of the NBA league, but also reflect the performance of some players in the NBA, and have aroused heated discussions among fans.
