1-5: Celtics 25 wins and 10 losses, Nets 23 wins and 12 losses, Bucks 22 wins and 12 losses, Cavaliers 22 wins and 13 losses, 76ers 20 wins and 13 losses
This is the first group in the East, and there is a clear gap with other teams, but the difference in wins between the 5 teams is not big , Even if it is the Green Army, it is only 2 wins ahead of the Nets. Of course, the Green Army is very strong, ranking first in the offensive league, and the core lineup is also young, energetic and physically strong. The Green Army still has a great advantage.
After the Nets defeated the Eagles, they won 10 consecutive victories, making them the first team in the league to win 10 consecutive victories this season. Throughout December, only lost 1 game, 12 wins and 1 loss is very good. Although the Nets didn't win many games, they were able to win anxious rounds repeatedly, which is also an ability in itself. The combination of Durant and Irving is destined to be impossible to guard at critical moments. The difference from the Nets before is that now they have a system of offense and defense, and the game is more layered. The role players know what to do and dare to make shots. I have to say that Vaughn is really a good coach. Nash early It's time for get out of class.
76 people have also risen, Harden After Embiid came back, the team is back on track, and the 8-game winning streak has just ended. The 76ers play like superstars, and the winning rate is higher when there are superstars. Then Maxi will come back soon, and the complete 76ers can also look forward to it. The Bucks and Cavaliers lost to the Nets before being overtaken. Of course, the strength of these teams is equal.
6-9 names: Heat 18 wins and 17 losses, Knicks 18 wins and 17 losses, Pacers 18 wins and 17 losses, Eagles 17 wins and 18 losses It is unacceptable, and the average points per game is at the bottom of the league. But this also shows how strong the Heat's defense is, limiting opponents to less than 110 points, or even less than 100 points many times. At the beginning of the season, the Heat were also at the bottom of the East, but now they are gaining momentum and their rankings are rising. If they can get 1-2 offensive players through trades, the Heat's competitiveness can continue to strengthen.
The Knicks, Pacers, and Eagles are all young teams. They often win or lose in a row, so their records are relatively unstable. Of course, their configuration is definitely at the playoffs level, it depends on the performance in the second half Whether to maintain.
10-12 names: Bulls 15 wins and 19 losses, Raptors 15 wins and 19 losses, Wizards 15 wins and 21 losses
The teams on the fringes of the playoffs can also work hard to get a place in the playoffs. Last season, the Bulls were a pseudo-strong team, but this season they turned into a "pseudo-weak team". They played against the top three in the Eastern Conference 6 times and achieved a record of 5 wins and 1 loss. Once the infighting is resolved, the Bulls are still expected to improve their ranking.
13-15: Magic 13 wins and 23 losses, Hornets 9 wins and 26 losses, Pistons 9 wins and 28 losses. Of course, the Magic team has accumulated talent for several years. Now they don't need to deliberately lose, and they are re-establishing a winning culture.
