Spencer Hawes is so underrated. 16, 12, and 5 (blocks) off the bench.

Now that the Jazz have some players that can hit threes, they could take a step from "good enough to make the playoffs", to "we don't want to play the Jazz in the first round."

You guys were right, I was wrong. Sorry about being a jackass about it earlier, my apologies, :hi:

The Celtics don't look good at all.

They usually turn it up at the end of the year.

The problem is Brooklyn and New York are better than expected. Celtics will be lucky to get the 5th seed.

If the playoffs started today (still very early but we are a fifth through the season):

East

1. Miami
2. New York
3. Brooklyn
4. Milwaukee
5. Atlanta
6. Philadelphia
7. Chicago
8. Boston

The rest

9. Indiana
1o. Charlotte
11. Orlando
12. Detroit
13. Toronto
14. Cleveland
15. Washington

West
1. Memphis
2. San Antonio
3. Oklahoma City
4. LA Clippers
5. Golden State
6. Utah
7. Houston
8. Denver

Rest

9. LA Lakers
10. Dallas
11. Minnesota
12. Portland
13. Phoenix
14. New Orleans
15. Sacramento

I'm thinking Golden State doesn't have staying power.

Brooklyn is the one that comes as a surprise, but I didn't realize they picked up Childress and Evans. Evans is an f-ing beast. Blatche is playing far better than he's ever played, so it makes me wonder about Brooklyn long term. I'm thinking they'll fall to the 5-6 range.

Their D has really improved and they don't have Bogut back yet.

Huff, you would love Drummond. Dude's a beast on the offensive boards.

He didn't have that high of a metric rating coming out of the draft, but he is playing insanely well.

Carl Landry is off the hook, and that is one of the main reasons Golden State is over-achieving. Landry hasn't played this well in 4 years, so I expect him to regress to the mean.

Curry/Thompson is a heck of a backcourt.

Drummond's per 36: 12.5 ppg/12.6 rpg/1.7 spg/2.5 bpg. Shoots 57%. But he's got to improve that FT percentage.

It's still early but it's looking like you guys were right, he is way to inconsistent. He shows flashes of being a really good player but more times than not he disappears.
