NBA Teams: A Tale of Two Halves
They say that you should never judge a book by its cover. Perhaps the same could be said about NBA teams. You wouldn’t understand a team’s story unless you know their full season.

The Memphis Grizzlies finished the 2020-2021 NBA season with a 38-34 record. The team made the playoff play-in game tournament as the ninth seed in the Western Conference. They would win both games against the San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors to obtain the eighth seed in the playoffs. In both games, Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant excelled in his first taste of the NBA playoffs.
If scientists discover that the Trail Blazers have been stuck in an isolated time-loop since 2013, the fans may buy it. How else does one explain five first-round exits in the playoffs across eight seasons with head coach Terry Stotts and Damian Lillard running the show?
Jalen Suggs is regarded as one of the best prospects in the 2021 class. The combo guard had a stellar freshman season for the Gonzaga Bulldogs and is now ready to play in the NBA.
For the month of June, we will be ranking the top 10 NBA players at each position. These rankings will be based only on the 2020-21 regular season and will not include any injured players. Let’s rank the top ten shooting guards.
There will be a new NBA Champion this season. After three straight losses to the Phoenix Suns, the Los Angeles Lakers lost in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. It is not the ending the defending champions wanted.
The Los Angeles Clippers and the Utah Jazz had different paths in the first round. Los Angeles played in a grueling, seven-game series with the Dallas Mavericks. Utah disposed of the Memphis Grizzlies in only five games. The Clippers are trying to make their first Western Conference Finals appearance in franchise history.
The Denver Nuggets defeated the Portland Trail Blazers in six games in the first round, and Nikola Jokic was dominant all series. Even without Jamal Murray, the Nuggets are still a contending team.
After a disappointing finish to their season, the Portland Trail-Blazers are back at the drawing board, with questions about their roster and potential coaching changes.
The New York Knicks were projected to finish the 2020-2021 season with less than 25 wins. The game isn’t played on paper though, and the Knicks proved that. They ended up winning 41 games and were the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs.
The Washington Wizards finished the season with a 34-38 record, which landed them the Eastern Conference’s eighth seed. The Wizards struggled for most of the season, as the team could not stay healthy.
The Atlanta Hawks made things look easy in their first-round matchup against the New York Knicks. The Knicks were one of the NBA’s best teams defensively but they could not contain Trae Young, as he scored 30 or more points in three of the five games.
