The rough start of the 2020-2021

NBA season

is leaving us with more scares and more injuries than usual.

The basketball course ended in the

Orlando

bubble

in October and recovered, now throughout the country, on December 22.

Two months in which the players who played in the

Florida mini-league

have hardly had time to recover physically, something that is being noticed at this start of the regular league.

The game is being rough, without great performances or excellent matches.

Not even

Christmas Day

, the quintessential event of the season, left us matches to remember.

The stars of the bubble, starting with the

Lakers

and continuing with the

Bucks or Clippers,

are not performing at the level expected of them, and the viewer notices it.

During these first days, we have already seen breaks for

LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Kawhi Leonard or Russell Westbrook

, and we have encountered the

first serious injuries

, such as the ruptured ligaments of Spencer Dinwiddie, a vital player for the aspirations of the Brooklyn Nets. .

All this brings us to the

strange leaderships of the East and West

of the

Cleveland Cavaliers

(3-0) and

New Orleans Pelicans

(2-1), a franchise that was not in the bubble and another that only lasted a few days.

The Orlando Magic

(3-0) and the

Atlanta Hawks

(3-0) have also started undefeated after their absence from Disneyworld.

The league leaves us

surprises

like the triumph of the New York Knicks over the Milwaukee Bucks or the

50 points

difference at halftime that the Mavericks achieved against the Clippers, one of the favorites for the ring.

The day

This past dawn, the Grizzlies defeated the Nets without Durant or Irving and took the great scare of

Ja Morant

, their star, who had to leave the pavilion in a wheelchair after a severe ankle sprain.

Pending future tests, it seems that the player will have to be out for several weeks.

The Jazz, candidates for the top 5 of the West, suffered to defeat the

Thunder

, one of the youngest teams in the league, while the Rockets, still in the

draw

due to the

Covid-19 outbreak

that the franchise has suffered, fell to the Nuggets.

Jokic

led Denver's game with an exhibition: 19 points, 18 assists and 12 rebounds, for James Harden's 34 points.

In Portland, and despite the return of Davis and LeBron, the Lakers could not beat the Blazers in their second consecutive game.

They suffered the second loss of the season in four games, with 29 goals from James and only 13 from their star power forward, with obvious fatigue.

Marc Gasol

was away from his performance 24 hours ago and could not distribute any assists, staying at four points in just 19 minutes.

An inertia that will be accentuated in the coming weeks, in a constant of games without truce to complete a regular season of

72 games

, prior to the Playoffs, which will end just before the celebration of the

Tokyo Olympics

.
