Fifth place: Chicago Bulls. They were one of the main teams chasing James and Dragon King Bosh in the summer, but unfortunately their plan didn't work out. In the end, the Miamis took the lead. But their summer reinforcements in the free market were quite successful.
The Jazz have been busy all summer trying to keep Carlos Boozer, but in the end they let the Bulls pick the peaches. Indeed, Utah City, a high-altitude small ball city, will never be more attractive than Chicago. The departure of a four-position player has made the Jazz's inside strength no longer the same as it was back then.
However, the Chicagoans have become the biggest beneficiary, Derrick Rose, Noah, Boozer, Luol Deng, such a lineup is enough to withstand any team in the NBA, including the amazingly talented Heat and Knicks.
Sixth place: Mavericks. When everyone's eyes were attracted by the formation of the Big Three in Miami and the reinforcement of New York, the Dallasites were already quietly rising.
They featured Eric Dampier, plus Matt Carroll, Eduardo Najera and a cash trade to the Charlotte Bobcats for Alexis Akinsa and Tyson Chandler.
Chandler helped the Bobcats reach the playoffs for the first time last season. Unexpectedly, the first thing that happened this season was being traded to Dallas.
For Charlotte fans, there's nothing worse than Jordan becoming owner of the Bobcats.
Jordan is a good player, but he is definitely not a good owner, but the acquisition of 275 million US dollars, whether the fans want it or not, makes Jordan the owner of the Bobcats.
Meanwhile, the Dallasites also signed a free-agent Serb from free agency: Peja Stojakovic. One of the best outside shooters in the league that year, although he is 33 years old, he can still contribute 12.6 points per game last season, so don't underestimate the veteran, he may get older and more demonic.
Although the overall age of the Mavericks is too old, no one knows if they will stage a drama of "old birds are crazy"!
After all, the phenomenon of being old and getting stronger in the league has always existed!
Seventh: Eagles.
Eighth: Nuggets.
Ninth: Thunder.

On October 23, the NBA regular season schedule for the 2010-2011 season was released. This season, as Lian Dao expected, their schedule for this season is more reasonable. There are only 13 back-to-back games in the entire season, and most of them are Concentrate on the first half of the season.
After the All-Star Game, the number of back-to-back games will be greatly reduced. This kind of game arrangement is basically the favorite of every team.
The season has just started, and after a summer of rest, the players need to use the tight schedule to help them quickly enter the best condition.
In the first half of the season, the players' physical reserves will be stronger, and a large number of schedules will not cause injuries to the players. However, in the second half of the season, the players' physical reserves will decline. If there are frequent back-to-backs at this time, it is likely to increase. Injury Risk.
But the Knicks have a very relaxed schedule in the second half of the season, which will greatly reduce the risk of player injuries.
With the release of the regular season schedule, the gaming company also issued the latest odds for the NBA championship, and the Miami Heat ranked first.
Although many people know that a team's championship is not just a pile of stars, the essence of professional basketball and business leagues is not just winning or losing, but traffic, the popularity of topics, and the degree of attention. Saying that the Heat have succeeded, the magician Pat Laili made the Heat the biggest eyeball.
Moreover, not only now, but also in the future, the formation of the Heat's Big Three has also left a strong mark in the history of the NBA, and has become one of the highlights of the NBA era!
On October 25th, Rasheed Wallace completed a one-year 5 million mid-level contract with the Knicks, and Lian Dao also welcomed Rasheed to join on Twitter.
Since then, the Knicks have once again added a championship-level veteran inside.
And in the next two years, it is unlikely to touch the red line of the luxury tax. Even if the Knicks renew the contract with Lian Dao in two years and offer a maximum salary contract, the team's salary can be controlled within 70 million, and it will not be easily touched. To the luxury tax threshold.
October 26th is the opening game of the league's new season, but this year there is no such thing as the Knicks. The league has arranged three games for the opening game: Lakers VS Rockets; Suns VS Trail Blazers; Miami VS Cavaliers!
These three games can be described as full of highlights, especially the game between Miami and the Cavaliers, which is really a public execution.
Stern would know that James is now a man whom the Cavaliers and even the entire Cleveland hate.
Arranging such a game at this time is still at the home court of the Cavaliers.
All I can say is, Stern, kinda bad!
However, this game is also jokingly called by the majority of netizens as the game they want to watch the most.
The Knicks' first game was on the 27th, an away game against the Celtics.
This game is also very interesting. After the two teams played against each other in the Eastern Conference finals last season, although they are not deadly enemies, they are definitely not friendly.
And as the number one enemy to eliminate the Knicks, basically all Knicks players have a fire in their hearts, and they are bound to release it in the first game.
The game between the Knicks and the Celtics is the game that fans most want to watch after Miami VS Cavaliers.
The strong duel, the battle of revenge, also makes the fans excited.
Moreover, as they also belong to the Atlantic Division, if the Knicks want to win the championship this season, they must step on the bones of the Celtics. This game is not only revenge for the Knicks, but also a proof of their ability to win the championship.
"I like a saying very much: Get up from where you fell! We were indeed inferior in the Eastern Conference finals last season, but the victory in this game will only belong to the Knicks!" Lian Dao said against Kyle The special people no longer keep a low profile blindly before the game. Sometimes they need to be low-key, but sometimes they need more momentum.
In the battle of revenge, what is needed is momentum!
Although Lian Dao uttered harsh words in front of the media, he did not mean to underestimate the Celtics. On the contrary, he knew how tough these old guys were.
The most important thing is that they recruited a group of old guys in the summer. Netizens also jokingly called the Celtics a "star nursing home", but there is a saying that the older you are, the more demon, this sentence is not unreasonable.
In the Knicks' first game, D'Antoni was not prepared to start Cousins.
D'Antoni put up a small lineup in a targeted manner~www.mtlnovel.com~ D'Antoni used the small lineup before in the preseason, and the effect is not good, but he didn't expect him to put on a small lineup again this time Lineup: Holiday, Danny Green, Lian Dao, Millsap, Stoudemire.
Tony Allen was on the second position before, and Tony Allen's defense was fine, but the offense couldn't share the outside firepower with Lian Dao, so D'Antoni only used it once at that time.
Later, Lian Dao suggested that if Danny Green is replaced at the second position in the small lineup, it may have an effect.
Under Lian Dao's suggestion, Danny Green also strengthened the stability of his shooting in the summer. Lian Dao and Holiday both have the ability to pass and hold the ball to attack, and there is no defect in the offensive firepower of the outside line.
Millsap and Stoudemire's defense is relatively disadvantaged, but the offense is definitely quite explosive. Both of them are tall players with both mid-range and long-range shots and low-post offensive breakthroughs.
Most teams in the NBA will find it difficult to face such an offensive combination. This is actually a problem with D'Antoni's offensive supremacy.
The starting lineup sent by the Celtics: Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Garnett, Shaquille O'Neal.
This year's Celtics hoard the most players at the fifth position. Once bitten by a snake for ten years, they are afraid of well ropes. Perkins, who was injured in the finals last season, is still on the injury list. No one is available for the position, which makes them regret losing. Although Rasheed Wallace did not pull his hips in the finals, you can't let a 35-year-old veteran play for 48 minutes.
Although they have Glenn Davis, the height of the big baby is still a bit disadvantageous at the fifth position.
