Season 4, Ep. 9
•
Utah has been the hottest team in the league thus far sitting at #1 in the NBA with a record of 23-5 led by Donovan Mitchell & 6MOTY candidate Jordan Clarkson.
Of course no one predicted this before the season began and because of that the Jazz have been the butt of many jokes and comparisons to the 2015 Atlanta Hawks team that won 60 games with a similar play style, but fell short to the Cleveland Cavaliers, getting swept in the conference finals!
I dive a bit deeper into the stats to see if the comparisons are valid, or perhaps warranted.
Washington has been awful defensively but has played with the leagues best pace behind my favorite backcourt duo of Bradley Beal (33.1 PPG) and Russell Westbrook (19, 9 & 9) why I still believe Wiz fans should remain hopeful of not only making, but competing in the post season!
Drummon/Griffin both on the trading block and soon to be buyout market
Giannis hitting a speed bump in Milwaukee as of late
COVID slowly creeping up on the league once more as we prepare for the All-Star festivities for one night only in ATL
Why I don't believe Brooklyn is a lock out of the east come post seasonn
& my final ALL STAR predictions!
