Re: Official NBA Season Thread
Bobbo,
Speculation is fun but it's obviously way too early to draw any conclusions - particularly when a couple of teams have only played two games. I need only point to the Mavs 0-4 start last year as evidence. When they beat the Suns to go 1-4 and drop PHX to 1-5 there was no doubt rampant speculation about the demise of both teams, yet when they met a few months later it was the best matchup that late in the season record-wise in something like 35 years. Not to mention the variance of all the schedules.
If I was prone to knee-jerk reactions though, it would be that the Knicks are probably going to be better than predictions and could come in as high as a 5-6 seed. Bookmakers actually gave them reasonable odds to win the division, so maybe they're onto something.
