In the early morning of December 28, Beijing time, the NBA officially announced the latest team strength list. With the victory of the Christmas War, the Warriors surpassed the Suns and rose to number one. And because of the recent five-game losing streak, the Lakers have fallen to 18th place. The following is a detailed list:
1. The Warriors ranked second last week with 27 wins and 6 losses
Tempo: 99.1 (13) Offense: 112.3 (3) Defense: 101.8 (1) Net Score: +10.5 (1)
At the end of the Christmas War, the Warriors’ hero was Otto Porter, who scored 7 points in three rounds to take away the game. The forward’s three balls are not easy, especially the third Ray Allen-style catch and shoot three-pointers. Porter and the Warriors have become representatives of each other, and his effective field goal percentage is 59.7%.
After defeating the sun, the Warriors returned to the league’s first place. Three times in the season, the Warriors lead 2-1, and the last time the two sides will meet on March 31. In the last six games in which Curry and Green appeared at the same time, the Warriors won a full victory. In 12 games against opponents with a winning rate of over 50%, the Warriors have the best record of 9 wins and 3 losses in the league.
The Warriors will have the Nuggets in two games before playing against the Jazz, the league’s top offensive player. In the past eight games against the Nuggets, the Warriors have won six of them. During this period, Jokic averaged only 18.9 points per game and an effective field goal percentage of 48.3%. In the inside of the Warriors, Rooney is very good at defending Jokic.
2. The Suns ranked first with 26 wins and 6 losses last week
Tempo: 100.7 (3) Offense: 110.5 (9) Defense: 103.4 (3) Net points: +7.1 (3)
The loss to the Warriors ended the Suns’ 20-game winning streak when Booker debuted, the Suns’ 15-game winning streak at home, and the Suns’ 12-game winning streak within 5 minutes of the final 5 minutes. Entering the final 5 minutes, the sun trailed by 5 points, but Otto Porter took the game with a wave of 7 points. But so far, the Sun’s key offensive and defensive efficiency is still ranked first in the league.
Booker (5 of 19) had a bad night, but the Suns often lost on the defensive end. In their 6 losses this season, their opponents’ three-point shooting rate exceeded the league average, and their penalty area shooting rate was also much higher than the league average. Lost to the Warriors, the opponent shot 21 of 27 from the penalty area. In the next week, the Suns will face the Grizzlies, Thunder, Celtics and Hornets.

18. The Lakers were 16 wins and 18 losses last week and ranked 15th
Tempo: 101.3 (1) Offense: 105.9 (26) Defense: 108.2 (12) Net Winning Points: -2.3 (22)
Anthony Davis is injured and Jordan looks helpless. Vogel allowed Dwight Howard to return to the lineup last week, but in the 28 minutes he played, the Lakers had a net loss of 18 points. Now LeBron James is the only option for the Lakers to play center. James played 34 minutes of center in the Christmas game, which is more than his entire season last year. In the 4 minutes of James’ second half break, Vogel did not use Howard or Jordan. He put Anthony on the center.
James still continues his best situation. Since Davis injured his knee, James has averaged 35 points and shot 58%. His pick-and-rolls in the past 4 games (70) are almost the same as his previous 18 games (74). Despite the drop in three-pointers, James’ shots in the penalty area have increased significantly, from 34% to 44%.
Although actively seeking change, the Lakers still scored their first 5-game losing streak since March 2019. James had a net loss of 43 points in 44 minutes of rest. It is not news that Westbrook will not score a goal. In the game against the Nets, Westbrook shot 4 of 15 from the penalty area. He also missed a key dunk at the last minute.
The Lakers are currently ranked 7th in the Western Conference, and their opponents in the next week are the Rockets, Grizzlies, Trail Blazers and Timberwolves.
