The NBA season is only a week and a half young yet some things are already quite noticeable and permanent trends are starting to take shape... The Boston Celtics are not playing down to their competition and are out to prove that they are the best team in the league. Their 14.7 average win margin is evidence of this. Rajon Rondo is second in the league in assists, first in steals, and is easily among the top five PGs in the league. The additions of Shelden Williams, Marquis Daniels, and Rasheed Wallace make the C's a better and more athletic team than their 2008 championship squad that had James Posey, P.J. Brown, and Sam Cassell. They will easily have the best record in the East this year... The Cleveland Cavaliers are mediocre and I'm not sold, making last year even more of a fluke. ...

Let me get straight to the point. Trevor Ariza was, without a doubt, a major contributing factor to the Lakers' championship run and he will be missed by countless Lakers fans who grew to appreciate what he brought to the team - cohesion, work ethic, defensive presence, improved outside shooting, and the knack to come through with timely baskets. However, his absence will not deter the Lakers from repeating in 2010. Just when you thought L.A. was good to go to defend the title next year, the Lakers bring in Ron Artest to instantly take them to the next level. And I'll tell you why. Never mind Artest's past mistakes. He's playing for Jerry and the J's, Phil, Kobe, Pau, Lamar, Derek, and Jack now. I guarantee you he's intelligent enough to know not to f*** this one ... |
