    Crazy how the Lakers flipped to a team that can score but can’t stop anyone when it was supposed to be the other way around

  2. brook_lyn_lopez

    Atlantic division is the best and I hate them all.

  3. AntSmith777

    Surprised CLE offense so bad and defense so good. Figured it would be the other way around with two small, scoring guards.

  4. mamayoua

    Everyone was excited for the Mitchell-Garland offense and worried about the defense, so this is mighty confusing.

  5. Time_Waits_For_Me

    Rockets are out of Wembyland.
    Silas must fix this.

  6. AlfredHampton88

    Yeah we coming for that a**. We here.

    For the C’s, not bad for what looked to be the hardest 8 game stretch of the season before the season began:

    – Heat

    – Heat

    – @ Nets

    – @ Raps b2b + 3rd game in 4 days

    – @ Suns

    – @ Warriors

    – @ Clippers

    – @ Lakers b2b + 3rd game in 4 days

    Absolutely should have expected a slip in the past 8 games. Can’t complain too much with the results. Wish Tatum played better in those 3 losses, but it is what it is. Timelord didn’t play in any of these and Al was out for the majority of them, meaning Blake Griffin was our starting center in most of these games.

    Jokic is legitimately a miracle worker. Bro has Steve Nash’s shooting effeciency and playmaking at 7 feet.

  9. Bigbadbuck

    Knicks and julius randle soecifically are playing great ball kudos to them. I don’t trust it but I do think they’re gonna be in the mix all year.

  10. Ragnar_OK

    not surprised lakers offensive efficiency is so high with AD being set up by Westbrook and LeBron doing LeBron shit, but they were a good defensive team at the start of the season wtf happened

  11. masterpierround

    Grizzlies have had a pretty light schedule (Pelicans, Knicks, Wolves, Sixers, Pistons, Heat, Thunder, Pistons, Hawks, Bucks) but to have a top 3 offense without Bane over ANY stretch is great to see.

  12. We having a We Back year.

    No one thought that we would be this high up in the standings and even if we didn’t get dejounte Murray or Donovan Mitchell it seems like the Knicks are headed towards pretty good spot all things considered developing and winning.

  13. imcryptic

    Get used to seeing a lot more bottom 5 defense from Dallas with Maxi out for 2 months. Especially if Josh Green continues to be on IR.

  14. whispersluggagebaby

    Knicks are surprising. Bulls closest to the middle feels right

  15. loudstain

    We went from lower mid offense to #3 because of Dame. Love to see it

    Edit: #2 offense

  16. SmokimNoah

    Feels like the Bulls and Raptors have been in that same spot all season. Two really average teams so far

  17. SnarfSniffsStardust

    I don’t think things could have gone worse than they have for the wolves, ignoring potential injuries. The scheme is terrible and the players look completely disinterested

  18. dongerlord456

    The Lakers should say fuck it and make a trade why not. Gotta get rid of Russ and Pat Bev.

  19. BetweenTheBuzzAndMe

    i’m just glad the hornets offense is on the chart now. a few weeks ago, they just had an arrow pointing left off the chart

  20. robinThicc9

    The Wiz are falling off a cliff and nobody in this thread is even commiserating about it.

  21. TattedUpDasher

    We are the best team in the league over the last 10 games

  22. KangorKodos

    Who needs defense, let’s just score every possession

  23. NorQwerty

    The offense went real cold for a while, but that’s the Sacramento Kings with an above average defense!

  24. IMakeMyOwnLunch

    Ah, yes, a team that stars Donovan Mitchell has the worst offense and best defense in the league. Just what we all expected. /s

  25. OfferOk8555

    Mostly that I am sad.

    And I’m still mad at RJ Barrett. I’m supposed to go to the game Monday and if DJ ain’t playing that’s some bull shit.

  26. Recitinggg

    Craziest part about this? Grizzlies Hog 3 have played 0 minutes together.
