There have been some surprises when the teams in the NBA actually started playing. This goes to show that all the hype doesn't matter and that what really matters is what happens on the court.
San Antonio Spurs- They have been inching by opponents, but hey they're still winning and that is all that matters.
Phoneix Suns- Who would've known that the addition of Steve Nash would make this the most exciting team to watch? They are pure entertainment playing quick and fun basketball.
Miami Heat- The Heat have started off the season with a solid record. Although their depth stills leaves many questions they have pounded the teams of the East. With the Pacers losing their key players the Heat only have the Pistons to beat to win the east.
Utah Jazz- One of the many surprises early in the season the Jazz have done well with their three point shooting. They are playing great right now but their defensive woes makes us wonder how long the music will last.
Minnesota Timberwloves- They have not been as could as everyone expected but they are still beating bad teams. The question will be if they can play with the big boys.
Sacramento Kings- This is another team with weak depth, but Peja has risen to become a superstar in California.
Seattle SuperSonics- Ray Allen is the heart and soul of this team, but they don't have any other players. They still went on that amazing streak earlier this season, if they can keep it up watch out.
Dallas Mavericks- They have played well so far but they questions are starting to arise about the durability of this team. If Dirk Nowitzki can't stay healthy the championship hopes for this team might fizzle.
Los Angeles Lakers- The Lakers are a team on the brink, while they have managed to keep their head about above water. I don't see them going too far this season.
Cleveland Cavaliers- This team has done well, but they have only beaten bad teams. Let's wait until they start playing some serious teams to make a decision.
