What are the weaknesses of the league s 8 championship formations? The Rockets lack organizers, and the Thunder are not invincible!

On September 16, many teams strengthened their lineup during this offseason, allowing them to have the ability to compete for the championship. As Gobert said, in the previous season, 2-3 teams had the level of championship competition, and now 10 teams are capable of winning. What he said is a bit exaggerated, but now there are at least 8 teams in the league that have the ability to compete for the championship, but there are no absolutely perfect teams. What are the weaknesses of these 8 teams competing for the championship? Let's take a look together.

Thunder

Thunder are the defending champions. They retained the team's core lineup during the offseason. It can be expected that the Thunder's core will have better chemistry in the new season, and the young core will also increase their goals, and they will be stronger than this season. But their shortcomings are also very obvious, that is, the inside line is too thin and I chose a good No. 4 position, but the season was reimbursed. Now the Western Conference teams have stockpiled a lot of inside lines. In the playoffs, the Thunder will be very tired. If Chett gains muscle and improves the confrontation during the offseason, the Thunder may solve this problem. The Rockets are now popular to the championship. After getting Durant, their problem of not having a stable scoring point was compensated, and they also got Finney Smith, who was able to enhance the Rockets' outside firepower and their shooting was strengthened. But the team does not have so many organizers, and the real point guards are only Van Jordan and Shepard. Shepard is very important to the Rockets in the new season. If he can meet expectations, then the Rockets will be very strong. If they cannot achieve this, the Rockets will lack organizers in the rotation lineup. You can't rely on Van Jordan, right?

Nuggets

Nuggets got Cameron Johnson, and their starting defense was improved. At the same time, the team won Valan, Hardaway Jr. and Brown. The team's substitute firepower was also enhanced. The Nuggets' biggest shortcoming last season was the thickness of the lineup. This problem has been solved now, but Westbrook's departure has made them less holders. Like the Rockets' problem, they lack enough players who can handle the ball. Although Jokic and Murray have always led the team alternately, if they lack a player to handle the ball, their offense will be limited.

Timberwolves

Timberwolves' performance in the second half of last season should be seen. Randle has integrated into the team system well. Their lineup is not inferior to Towns's strength during the team. The team has multiple excellent defenders and has brought them extremely high lower limits. Huazi will increase the ball next season, and they will be stronger. However, Alexander Walker has left the team, and the team's rotation wings are weaker. They will rely on young player Shannon Brown. Like Shepard, whether he can meet the team's expectations will directly affect the team's height.

Clippers

Clippers got Collins in the offseason. They finally had a real power forward in the starting lineup. Bill replaced Powell, and their backcourt firepower was also enhanced. The team also got Paul and Lopez, which enhanced the bench thickness. In terms of the luxury of the league team's starting lineup next season, the biggest problem of the Clippers team is aging and health. Leonard's health cannot be guaranteed. Players like Paul and Los Angeles are also a problem they are more worried about whether they can maintain their state in the playoffs. To be honest, the Lakers are a bit far-fetched to be able to enter this level, because their strength is still far from the real champion team. Although the Lakers got Ayton and strengthened their biggest short-term inside line, the Lakers' backcourt defense problem has not been solved. Their defenders are too poor. Although Doncic has lost weight, their defense is not yet top-level. Xiaoli is even named. In the playoffs, the ball holders may become the opponent's ATMs. I heard that they have to replace Wiggins, and getting him may be closer to winning the championship.

Cavaliers

Cavaliers' paper strength is one of the strongest in the active league. The Cavaliers have four peak All-Stars. In the offseason, they won the Ball Brother and Nans and enhanced the team's substitute firepower, but their quad-core function conflict has always been their biggest problem. Garland and Mitchell are two 1.85-meter backcourt teams, which are easy to be targeted in the playoffs. Mobley and Allen are not strong in space, so they will be targeted. The Cavaliers' lineup is really good in the regular season. After all, they can play a lot, but in the playoffs, they will be targeted and will suffer losses when facing strong teams.

Knicks

Knicks completed a good reinforcement in the offseason. Their biggest shortcoming was the substitute lineup. As a result, they won two top six players, Clarkson and Brogdon, and got Yabussele. He can replace Hart to enter the starting lineup to make up for the unstable space ability of Hart. The team's lineup is indeed stronger, but the Knicks' ability to fight tough battles is still worrying. After all, Towns has never proved himself in tough battles, and Brunson seems to be a little bit far from the real super giant.
