Up is down and down is up. Is there any other way of explaining the NBA season as we approach the 10% mark (already?!?)?
I’ve been quoted multiple times as being skeptical of the moves made by the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards, specifically mocking where their defense would come from. Billy Donovan’s club currently ranks 5th in defensive rating, while Wes Unseld Jr.’s crew sits in 8th. Both teams are tied atop the NBA with a 5-1 record.
The four Conference finalists from last season — Atlanta Hawks, Milwaukee Bucks, Phoenix Suns, and Los Angeles Clippers — are a combined 9-14, with none of them above .
