The NBA-Who’s on Top?
We are officially at the Quarter mark of this year’s full NBA Season and although we are still striving through a Worldwide Covid-19 pandemic, the players from the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference have put together a very competitive and balanced start of an entertaining season so far.
Sharing the No. 1 Spot in the entire league to date are the Golden State Warriors (20-4) and the Phoenix Suns (20-4). Them two teams have been balling out of their minds as of late even battling it out with each other each winning a game apiece in their first two encounters. The Warriors have been able to maintain their strong hold in the Western Conference by playing team ball while still without the services of Klay Thompson who will hopefully make an appearance soon. As for the Suns they were on a hot 18 game winning streak only to be snapped by the Warriors in their revenge game. That said, the Suns have their squad intact and are back on track causing havoc in the entire league. The Utah Jazz (16-7) has kept their name in the race with some steady play making sure they are not overlooked. They could easily find themselves at the No. 1 Spot as well. The Memphis Grizzlies (14-10) are surprisingly climbing up the standing beating some very good teams on their way up. A Playoff run might be in their near future if they can maintain this standing. The Los Angeles Clippers (13-12), the Dallas Mavericks (11-11), the Los Angeles Lakers (12-12), the Denver Nuggets (11-12) and the remaining of the western teams are struggling this early season but they still have time to change it up.
The Eastern Conference teams have improved dramatically. As of today, there are 10 teams above the 500 PCT mark and that hasn’t happened in a long time. Leading the pack are the Brooklyn Nets (16-7) who are still without the services of Kyrie Irving but still keeping teams honest out there on the court making every game count. The Chicago Bulls (17-8) have a real good chance at the No. 1 spot the way they’ve been balling as of late. Them Boys are making some serious noise throughout the league. The Defending Champions the Milwaukee Bucks (16-9) are steadily working their way back into form and still have their squad intact so once fully healthy, they will definitely maintain a strong hold in their Division. The Miami Heat (14-11) and the Washington Wizards (14-11) teams both possess a lethal squad capable of reaching the No. 1 Spot with the talent they have put together this year. In this early season they have already proven to be a problem at being very competitive with any of the top teams from both conferences. The Boston Celtics (13-11), the Philadelphia 76ers (13-11), the Charlotte Hornets (14-12) and the remaining Eastern Conference Teams are all bubbling around still searching to fit in but doing so while still being competitive. The Eastern Conference is on a come up with still lots of games to be played. These standings can change on any given day.
Stay locked in cause this season is surprisingly heating up early!!
