NBA Top 5/ Bottom -5 12/13/12



TOP 5:

1.  Oklahoma City Thunder- It’s always been so hard to stop Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant.  Kevin Martin can also light it up and now Serge Ibaka is playing much better.  This team has only gotten better as Erick Maynor works his way back into shape. 

2.  New York Knicks- The play they get from their two starting point guards in Jason Kidd and Raymond Felton. 

3.  San Antonio Spurs- They never seem to age do they?  Tim Duncan is having a great season thus far, but will he break down?

4.  Los Angeles Clippers- Deepest team in the NBA.  Lamar Odom seems to be rounding into form, which will only make them better. 

5.  Miami Heat- They have not been overly impressive to start the season, but Dwyane Wade hasn’t been healthy.  They’ll be fine.




Outside Looking In:

The Golden State Warriors are playing out of their minds right now.  There is a lot of talent on that roster.  The Memphis Grizzlies are another team similar to the Warriors, but they have more experience and less health issues.  


BOTTOM 5:

5.  Detroit Pistons- There is hope in Detroit.  They are just a young team and it isn't coming together yet.  Who is their point guard?  Brandon Knight or Rodney Stuckey?  Greg Monroe is turning the ball over too much as well.  

4.  Toronto Raptors-  Six straight losses for the Raptors.  The silver lining is that they are losing to good teams.  They will be without Andrea Bargnani indefinitely as he nurses an injured elbow.  

3.  Sacramento Kings-  DeMarcus Cousins was suspended for a game for punching O.J. Mayo in the groin.  Cousins needs to grow up, and the Kings need to get more talented.  

2.  New Orleans Hornets- Austin Rivers needs to step it up.  This team will surely move up in the standings now that Anthony Davis is back.  

1.  Washington Wizards- They desperately need John Wall to return.  The Wizards offense is awful.  Bradley Beal has been playing better as of late.
