1.    Good Player, Bad Team: Pretty much the only news in the NBA these days is the perpetually pending trade of Carmelo Anthony to the Nets.  There are compelling reasons for both the Nets and Nuggets to get this trade done but some have questioned why Anthony would want to go to a lottery bound Nets team when Denver is a pretty good team already.  The speculation has surrounded the fact that Anthony wants to return to the East Coast where he grew up and where his wife can pursue a … [Read more...] about Quick Thoughts

1.    Spuriffic: The best team in the NBA right now by both conventional win-loss, and SRS is the Spurs.  The Spurs actually don't have the best point-differential in the NBA (at +8.8 the Spurs are second to the Heat, who have +9.4).   Going into the season, the conventional wisdom was that the Spurs were pretty good but a little long in the tooth.  I viewed them as a potential contender if the Lakers faltered but no more likely to win the West than several other good teams.  The … [Read more...] about Quick Thoughts

1.    Good Returns: Last week the biggest story in the NBA was LeBron James' return to Cleveland.  The questions about how LeBron would deal with the pressure, while compelling, were ultimately less important than one would think.  Sure, Cavs fans reigned down boos so loud that you could feel them on television.  But what were we really expecting?  Well, we were going to see, potentially, the answer to two somewhat interesting questions: (1) how would LeBron deal with the … [Read more...] about Quick Thoughts

A Way Too Early Look: Atlantic Division

November 29, 2010 by Harlan Schreiber Leave a Comment

In the NBA, November is very very early.  A months worth of games is just too soon to make any definitive conclusions.  Still, we know of the general surprise stories so far that are worth watching.  Just for fun, we're going to go through each team quickly by division.  Here's a review of some stories you might've noticed (or might've missed) from the Atlantic Division: -Boston Celtics: Boston has looked like as a good team as there is in the NBA.  Many have noted that Rajon Rondo has … [Read more...] about A Way Too Early Look: Atlantic Division

1.    What's In A Start?: It's still way too early to make grand or meaningful conclusions about the 2010-11 season.  The teams that have gotten the most notice (besides the Heat) are the ones that have come out of the gate very hot.  The Lakers, not so surprisingly, are 6-0.  More surprisingly, the Hornets and Hawks are also 6-0.  But small sample sizes can do funny things.  For example, the Nest are 2-4 but have a horrible -7.2 point differential, in large part because they have played … [Read more...] about Quick Thoughts

1.    The Heat...Way Too Early: Will Chris Bosh turn into P.J. Brown?  Can LeBron James continue to score 30 a game on a star studded team?  Regardless of stats of the stars, will the Heat win it all?  I'm just like everyone else.  I'm fascinated to see how the Heat blend three big stars and how they fit into their roles.  Still, it is quite amazing to see how much has been written about the Heat so far and, frankly, drawing any serious conclusions from the first few games is … [Read more...] about Quick Thoughts
