In the final stage of the regular season, several Western giants took turns in feng shui, the Suns with the worst record, during this time, they began to go on a northern expedition, playing a wave of 2 consecutive wins, Durant became more and more courageous, and he averaged 0+ per game during the 0 consecutive wins, and also won the best player of the week last week, not long ago, the Suns team was still in dire straits, the record fell to the bottom, the contradictions within the team were intensifying, and Durant's trade rumors were also frequent, and according to their current momentum, if they can rush into the playoffs at the end of the season, All the turmoil with the Suns will also disappear, and the Big Three may continue to work together. The Clippers have achieved a good record of 0 wins and 0 losses in the past 0 games, Harden dreams of returning to the top, and the small card is getting better after his return, and the efficiency of core scoring points such as Zubac and Powell is also very high.

Once the playoffs come to the playoffs, if the Clippers stay healthy, they won't be able to fake any opponents, even the Thunder and Nuggets. Among the Western giants, on the contrary, the Warriors and Lakers with better records are now in a little trouble, in fact, the Warriors are okay, the most important thing is that Curry has encountered a little injury, and the efficiency and production in recent games are not high, and the Warriors have two wins and two losses after 28 consecutive wins. However, the Lakers are struggling even more, the true strength of the Lakers is indeed a mystery, during this time they are like a roller coaster, at first a wave of 0 consecutive wins rose to second in the West, and then suffered a wave of 0 consecutive defeats, and after adjusting the state ushered in 0 consecutive wins, after 0 consecutive wins, it was a wave of three consecutive defeats, after 0 consecutive defeats, the Lakers' record came to 0 wins and 0 losses, falling to fourth in the West.

In the past 13 games, the Lakers have lost to the Bucks by 0 points, the Bulls by 0 points, and the Magic by 0 points. In the new team strength list officially announced by the league, the Lakers can still rank 0th in the league, in fact, this must be a giant team bonus, and the NBA also wants to support a traffic team like the Lakers and Warriors, but unfortunately the Lakers are not useful. Judging from the data, they have almost no particularly outstanding data, ranking 0th in the league in 0.0 points per game, 0.0 rebounds per game ranking 0th in the league, steals and blocks per game are also ranked outside 0, 0.0 offensive efficiency, and 0.0 defensive efficiency are all ranked 0th in the league, and there is no taste of a super strong team.

In fact, the Lakers were really lucky, when they won 4 consecutive games, only two games were double-digit wins, and the rest were single-digit narrow wins, and the dominance of the game was almost meaningless, and once they lost, it was basically a super heavy defeat. The Lakers have two superstars, James and Doncic, and there is no need to question their strength at critical moments, but they are also prone to collapse in the game and often fail to play critical moments. This is actually reflected in the enthusiasm of the game, and the team's defense, there are few athletic players in the whole team to speed up and speed up the pace, James is also old, athleticism and physical fitness are far from the peak, Doncic is a big defensive colander, the Lakers interior resources are also quite scarce, there is not even a serious interior line, only two full-time center players, Jamieson and Koloko, the average points per game add up to only 0.0 points.

During the 7 losing streak, the Lakers also exposed their shortcomings to the fullest, with serious defensive problems, conceding 0, 0, and 0 points in three games, each time collapsing in the third quarter, with a total net minus 0 points in the third quarter. James is also tired, in the recent game against the Magic, Lao Zhan left the game early before the game was over, went straight back to the locker room, and refused to be interviewed by the media after the game. In fact, the Lakers fluctuate seriously, and Lao Zhan has a lot to do with it, some time ago James missed 0 games due to injury, and this is obviously not in the state yet, James is the vane of the Lakers, to him to bring up his enthusiasm, lead by example on the defensive end, the Lakers have a high probability of winning the game, and the Lakers still have Doncic and Reaves on the offensive side, these core scoring points, Lao Zhan only needs to make few mistakes and play more aggressively.

In any case, according to the Lakers' lineup and performance, they are still far from the league's top championship teams like the Thunder, Cavaliers, and Celtics. Commenting on the team's recent three-game losing streak, Doncic also said in an interview: "I think we're getting complacent, we can't afford to be in this situation, and hopefully the team can go back to the physical defensive form that we had during the eight-game winning streak." The first step we need to make sure is to make the playoffs first, and there's nothing guaranteed in the NBA. "How far do you think the Lakers can go this year?
