You guys should work for ESPN, any team that loses is the worst to those ass clowns. Theyre the most reactionary bunch of imbeciles I have ever seen. But I guess it makes for 'good' TV.
These are the first or second games for alot of teams, many that are playing together for maybe the third or fourth tie ever. it takes a while to get into the swing of things.
Some teams will gell quicker, in a shortened season that might give them an advantage. But is also means that the better teams wont be so far behind once they turn it around. If you have NJ 3 games ahead of say Chicago (which looks like ASS right now) with 7 games to go who would you think would have the best record?
The bad teams are bad. Some will win a game or two they arent supposed to because of youth and stamina, but theyll also lose close games late due to lack of experience and leadership. Just bcause a few teams look good or bad is an anomoly right now, all but a very few teams are unprepared. I would say by Feb you'll have a true picture of the 'good' and 'bad' teams in the league. Sure there might be a couple 'shockers' mixed in, bu for themost part some teams are just nt going to be good. I would include Utah, Sacramento, Phoenix, Det, Toronto, charlotte, New Orleans. One shocker to me might be Houston whom everyone is saying might be the worst team in the league. They tried to trade their whole team in that 3 way deal, but that might motivate guys.
