The basketball season has had some interesting twists so far and many people have been off with their initial predictions to say the least. The Cavs and Lakers aren't dominating their opponents, and I think I know the reasons. Let's take a look at the best teams in the league to see where they're at right now.
Sure, a lot can change over the course of the season and it probably will. Still, I have some strong opinions about the state of the league right now and some of the teams that many predicted would dominate.
Some of the newer players on the best teams simply don't seem like good fits, in my opinion. In the same way that Allen Iverson was bad for the Pistons, I think that these guys will unfortunately have negative impacts on their new teams.
Ron Artest has gone to the Lakers. Sure, he's a great defensive player and he's incredibly talented, but I just don't think he's a team player.
He made the Kings worse when he went to Sacramento, and the jury's still out on Houston. However, the Lakers don't look as strong this season as last, and I believe that's why.
Then there are the Cavs. Shaq is a different story than Artest, as he has a great attitude and wants to win. Unfortunately, I think he just throws off the team's rhythm and his presence in the middle might not be so good for the team. Their record so far would indicate this too.
Vince Carter hasn't found his rhythm in Orlando, and I'm not convinced that he ever will. I believe that he's a ball hog who did more bad for the Nets than good.
The only team that I think got it right with its major acquisition was Boston. Rasheed Wallace plays his heart out, and was a huge contributor to the Pistons. It's no wonder the Celtics are still undefeated.
