The Beasts in the East

The more the season progresses the clearer things become in the East, except for the elites. The conference is drowned in mediocrity and has many BAD teams.

Thunder Making a Splash

Quietly, the Oklahoma City Thunder have put together a nice start to the season. While a 10-8 record doesn’t sound overly impressive, this team rose from the depths of the NBA. If the playoffs started today, they would sit in the ninth spot in the Western Conference, just outside the playoffs....
