NBA Month 1

Hey all!

After a month of games, the situation is quite surprising!
Everybody was looking for the Heat at the eastern conference, and who's n°1? Yep Detroit Pistons! They're playing really well, they kept the Larry Brown's dynamic, by adding a more offensive face under Flip Saunders.
Then the Heat, who are playing well despite of Shaq's absence, should be even better when he'll be back.
And after these two, Indiana, which were expected at that place and the surprising Cavs! Everybody was wondering if Lebron could make playoffs this year (finally?). It seems he have the team for, but the season is long and many things can happen.
Milwaukee too, who are playing really well and seems to have the team to make playoffs too. Let's see!
Finally the Bulls, who needs to play better and the Magic.

For the Western Conference, Firts position San Antonio Spurs who are not yet playing the right way, between injuries and introducing new players, they'll need some times more to play the right way! Tony Parker is strong and doiong big solid games for them! (All Star? I think so.....)
Second! Who can believe that?? The LA Clippers!! And it's truth, I think THE biggest surprise of the start of the season, but they're playing great and for the first time, making shadow to the Lakers.
Then we have Minnesota, Memphis and Dallas, three teams playing well actually, even if Minnesota have a bit a bad time and KG's transfer rumors won't help. Watch out of Dallas at the end of the season and during Playoffs, I see them strong....
An other surprise of the West Conf, Golden State Warriors, they're playing great under Baron Davis, and it seems they have the team to be back in may's rush!
Phoenix, pllaying great and a pretty good defense (Phoenix D! huh??), without their leader Amare Stoudemire, I think they'll be a big contender at west conf when he'll be back and that's a great pleasure as a French, to see Boris Diaw playing that way for them after two bad years at Hawks!
And Finally, NO Hornets at the last spot, I wish them to succeed for that mission, that would be great after what they encountered....

Deceptions of the start of the season, New Jersey and Washington for the eastern conf, everybody was expecting these teams high in the rankings, nope, something's doing wrong.
Denver, Houston, LA Lakers, Utah.
Everybody was expecting Denver aside Spurs at the top of western conf, nope. Houston was expected to be higher, thanks to the duo T Mac/Yao and not at all, the D is not here yet....
With Phil "Master Zen" Jackson at the head of Lakers, most people believed they would do Playoffs! It's all about Kobe Actually...I don't think they'll get it. people will perhaps go to Staples Center for playoffs for an other team in LA!
Utah due to Kirilenko's injury is doing less good than it was scheduled, a coming back is possible if they manage not to lose too much games!

Here is my thoughts! What do you all think?
It's only the start of the season and at the end of December, positions will be clearer. It's an amazing season so far!

I agree with all.....
Just, I'm curious of the result at East if Shaq Stay healthy....
I still think Miami made the baddest moves of the summer....as you....!

Sincerely, I have doubts!
T Mac is back and an other loss yesterday....Time will tell!
