US media ranked the strength list: The Clippers Sixth Lakers Warriors missed the top ten, are they overrated?

If there is no major operation next, then the main signings of NBA teams this summer will basically come to an end. Then before the new season officially begins, the media naturally cannot be idle. Taking this opportunity to make various rankings and predictions is also something they love to do.

US media clutchpoints lists the current strength rankings of each team after offseason operation, with the Thunder, Knicks, Nuggets, Rockets and Cavaliers ranked in the top five, and the Clippers ranked sixth. The Lakers and Warriors missed the top ten in the other two major traffic teams, so they must work hard.

The Clippers are undoubtedly the last fight. After all, they got Leonard in the summer of 2019 and thought that the Clippers set sail. As a result, now, let alone the championship and even the creation of dynasties, they have never broken through to the West. This summer, the Clippers refused to rebuild. In addition to renewing the contract with Harden and retaining Leonard, they also received John Collins, and signed Lopez, Paul, Bill and others, which made the overall depth reach full. However, the Clippers lineup seems to be a bit old, and there are many people with potential injuries. I don’t know how much combat effectiveness can be exerted in the high-end game.

Behind the Clippers are Magic, Timberwolves, Hawks and Mavericks, which also prevents the Lakers and Warriors from entering the top ten. In fact, the two teams are still behind the Pistons, ranking 12th and 13th on the list. Of course, whether it is the Lakers or the Warriors, except for the fact that they are really good, the overall quality and quality of the rotation seem to be not outstanding. Especially the Warriors and Kumingga are now in a state of competition, and other operations cannot be completed, so they can only pick up players that others look down on.

In addition, the two teams in the Eastern Conference seem to be overrated, first ranked second in the Knicks, which is a bit outrageous. Last season, the Knicks made it to the Eastern Conference Finals, but the moisture seemed to be very high. In the first round, it was suspected that the Black Whistle had relied on the Black Whistle to eliminate the Pistons. In the Eastern Conference semi-finals, facing the defending champion Celtics, many of the Celtics were affected by injuries, and the tactical arrangements of the coaching staff were also very problematic, which made the Knicks take a big advantage. Even so, in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks were still beaten by the Pacers. Although many teams were injured by the main player's combat effectiveness, I think the Cavaliers, the Bucks and the Magic should be enough for the Knicks to have a drink.

In addition, the Hawks, who are ranked ninth in the strength list, as the original playoff team, although the Hawks have upgraded their lineup this summer, but you said that by the new season, the Hawks will become a team in the upper half of the Eastern Conference, it is a bit of a matter of course. After all, the Hawks are too young, and the new inside player Porzingis is trapped and injured, and his condition is not as good as before. Let's find a way to get the playoff ticket first.
