Feb. 1st - NBA Surprises & Disappointments
Lakers 21-4
Anthony Davis could win back to back MVP's as the Lakers have a 21 and 4 record.
Tatum Leading Scorer
Boston is off to a hot start and Tatum is leading the league in scoring with 29.8 a game.
Cavs In Playoff Hunt
They were easily in our tanking phase and starting 4 Xavier McDaniel got hurt the first week of the year. They are over achieving with a 13-13 record. Sexton is averaging 22 a game and Jarret Allen 16 & 13. This is bad news for Memphis who was hoping to sign Kevin Love in a buyout and have been keeping a roster spot open.
Houston Worst Team Ever ?
Houston was suppose to be bad and the front office didn't want to be embarrassing. So they signed veterans Frank Ntkilina and Garry Harris before the year started to make them at least competitive. It didn't work and they have won a hideous 2 games out of 25.
76ers Somehow Still Bad
Despite a great roster with veterans and youth they find themselves 8 games below 500. They owe 1st round picks in future years for moving off Al and Harris so they don't want to give up another one.
Time For Pacers To Tank ?
They are off to a slow start with a record of 7-20 which is last in the East. It may be time for them to sell off some veterans like Kemba, Mcdermitt, Brogdon and Levert.
