People think I'm biased when it comes to the Beard but I can be objective and call it like it is: did Wemby just steal the lead for the DPOY award from Harden tonight in their head-to-head match-up? Wemby had 9 (!) blocks and Harden only had 3 blocks (which is merely the same as Wemby's average for the season and even a tick behind Holmgren's average). :lupe:

So called eastern conference contenders have losing win-loss records and are struggling right now. Is it just Early season blues or they are just that bad ? I know these teams have injured players( embiid for the Sixers, banchero for the magic ) young players(magic) and new players( Knicks, see the karl-Anthony towns trade ) It takes time for teams to gel and build chemistry. And winning without your best players (embiid and banchero) is very difficult.

Bucks 1-6
Sixers 1-5
Magic 3-5
Knicks 3-3 (playing for .500)

the Cavs and Celtics are the only contenders and the only teams period to have winning records in the east. The other 13 teams are playing for 0.500 (equal numbers of wins and losses) or have losing (win-loss) records. In the east, teams seeded 6-15 have losing records. The 3rd seeded Miami Heat are 3-3. In the west the 9th seeded, 3-3 spurs is the first team in the conference to have a 0.500 record.


By comparison the first 8 teams in the standings in the west have all winning records. And the 9-10-11th seeded teams play for 0.500. The bottom four teams in the western standings have losing records.

Good to see that veteran teams like the Warriors and the suns are having good seasons so far. Maybe one of these teams will make one last deep playoff run ?
