In January, the Thunder and Lakers fell behind in the West and will definitely miss the playoffs.

In the preseason of this season, Thunder star Durant suffered a fracture of the metatarsal bone in his right foot and did not return until December 3. In the game against the Warriors on December 19, Durant was injured again, chose conservative treatment, and the return time is uncertain.

The boss and the third were rested, and Westbrook got a lot of possession, averaging 28 points, 7.3 rebounds and 8.6 assists per game, and for the first time in his career, he was better than Durant and increased his popularity.

In fact, Wei Shao's scoring efficiency is not high, or very low, he averages 22 shots per game, with an overall shooting rate of 42.6%, a mid-range shooting rate of less than 40%, and a three-point shooting rate of 29.9%. He scored mostly from the free-throw line, averaging 8.1 of 9.8 free throws per game for an 83.5 percent shooting percentage.

At the end of this season, Wei Shao's thirst for data will definitely reach new heights, and Durant's return will not be able to suppress him. Coupled with the fact that the Thunder management has lost confidence in Horford on the inside, the only thing waiting for the Thunder in the future is the scattered group.

The Thunder can't rebuild without rebuilding, Durant wants a championship, the team doesn't win the championship, and the possibility of him renewing his contract in 2016 is almost zero. Horford, whose contract expires in 2016, could be traded a year early, making it difficult to trade him back for a strongman.

The Thunder's interior is the weakest in the league this year, and the starting center is the high-paid and incompetent Kendrick Perkins, who averages 4 points and 5.5 rebounds per game, and he can't do anything but fight people in the restricted area.

The Lakers were also ruined by injuries and directly became the bottom team in the West.

Deron Williams had a great season last season, and Lakers coach Byron Scott admired him.

Scott will inevitably give him a lot of playing time when he admires him, regardless of whether the opponent's body can withstand long games. For example, when Paul was coaching, he averaged about 38 minutes per game during the season, and finally Paul was injured and he was also fired. When coaching Marbury and Kidd, he also needed star point guards to play for a long time.

Delon's playing time has increased from 33 minutes last season to 38 minutes, and he is responsible for the main attack with the ball, which is huge. He only played 15 games before he sprained his right ankle badly.

Misfortune is not a one-way street, Bosh was diagnosed with a pulmonary thrombosis after 42 games, and the season is reimbursed.

He needed to be treated with blood thinners so that he could not participate in the physical confrontation of the intense basketball game and take an indefinite break. It's not an injury that can be avoided by playing for another team, and the Lakers are unlucky, with a five-year contract that doesn't expire until 2019.

The internal and external duo are resting, the Lakers' top scorer is Nick Young, and the second scoring point is second-round rookie Clarkson, which still has to be played? Scott can do what he does best, be above board, and lead the team with confidence.

Not too much of a surprise, this is Scott's final season with the Lakers.

The Lakers' internal and external troubles are not only on the court, but also in management. After the death of the elder Bass, Jim Bass became president, but his position was unstable, and he was often forced into the palace by his sister Jeanne Bass.

The Lakers meet every year to vote for the team's president, and Jeanie Buss has been elected since 2013. She gave Jim Buss three years to get back in contention, and if Jim couldn't, Jenny could get the support of the board to take charge of the Lakers in the future.

How can the current Lakers compete for a championship? They are clearly competing for the top spot, Jim is one head and two big, and it is too late to trade, and the two injured stars can't be sent out at all.

The fastest declining team in the East is the Knicks, who, contrary to all expectations, are at the bottom of the East with 9 wins and 38 losses, just two more wins than the 76ers.

Before the start of the season, the Knicks and 76ers were predicted by experts to be strong teams, and no one guessed that these two teams would compete for the top pick.

The Knicks have also been plagued by injuries, with J.R. Smith and Carmelo Anthony sidelined with injuries. Joakim Noah is a relatively healthy star, but he is just a blue-collar player, and he and the in-form Stadamire can't lead the team.

The Knicks didn't renew Jamal Nelson's contract after it expired, signing heavy point guard Calderon. This season, the Knicks don't have to play blocking and dismantling at all, and even if they can play, Xiaosi's speed and ability to impact the basket are far inferior to back then. The hidden danger of his profligate talent when he was young appeared, and he was only 32 years old.

Anthony is not highly rated as the top scorer. If he plays as a power forward, the efficiency can be slightly higher, but unfortunately the two starting positions on the inside can't be moved.

Despite the team's poor record last season, the Knicks chose to offer Anthony a high salary of about 127 million for five years last summer, which only expired in 2019, and the contract was rotten.

Knicks management has money to spend, and they don't have a choice. If Anthony is not renewed, the Knicks don't even have a star who can rebuild around, and they believe that the decline of Xiaosi is the main reason for the poor record, and giving up Xiaosi in 2015 can free up salary space and dig up another star to complete the rebuild.

Fantasy is wonderful, but that's just fantasy.

The mentality of Knicks management to renew Anthony's contract is like a woman who is in a relationship with a scumbag who is unwilling to give up a scumbag.

This is because what they don't want to give up is not a scumbag, but they don't want to give up the time cost they have paid over the years, the moment you give up a scumbag, it means that the time you spent in love in the past is zero, is it your words, are you willing to do it?

The Knicks have paid too much for Anthony, and it is impossible for them to expect Anthony to lead the team to a championship, and he is also 30 years old, and his future form will get worse and worse.

It is worth mentioning that there have also been teams and Knicks competing for Anthony, which is another unsuccessful pursuit of big-name players by the Rockets after unsuccessfully pursuing Bosh. The managers of the Lakers and Knicks saved the Rockets, and Morey's reinforcement plan was too terrifying.

The Magic, who sent Anthony away, completed a rebuild and finished fifth in the East in the playoffs this season.

Gordon Hayward, who was traded back from the Knicks, became the core of the Magic's outside line, averaging 19.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.4 steals per game, shooting 46.3% from the field and 39.8% from three-point range.

He is not the only one who may be selected as an All-Star for the Magic, with center Vucevic averaging 17.6 points, 10.3 rebounds and 2 assists per game, shooting 52.3% from the field, which is also eye-catching.

How is a cancer identified? The easiest way to do this is to look at the results, as soon as some people leave, the old club rises. Anthony has never played in the division finals and is now known as a cancer by many.

The most surprising thing in the middle is that the Bucks overtook the injury-plagued Nets and ranked first in the East, making the core Paul George the favorite for regular season MVP.

George averaged 24.2 points, 7 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.8 steals per game while shooting 44% from the field and 39.3% from three-point range, and was able to shoot 2.6 three-pointers.

George's fortunes have completely changed after joining the Bucks, including his injury last season, which turned into a blessing in disguise. Because he needed to recuperate, he did not participate in the 2014 Men's Basketball World Championships, but fortunately escaped a terrible broken leg, and he was in great shape after his comeback.

The Bucks signed Andrew Bogut as center in the summer to strengthen the team's restricted area defense. The bad news is that draft rookie Embiid has undergone stress fracture surgery and will not be able to play in his first season.

The Bucks also signed point guard Eric Bledsoe, forward Jarred Dudley, plus the role players on the team, and they have run in well and become the biggest dark horse of the season.

The media praised George's strength this year, and if there is no surprise, George will not be able to go to the Thunder to be the second leader of Westbrook in the future......
