Through the first month of the NBA season, it is feeling like there has not been much separation between many of the teams in the league. The Golden State Warriors have been the most consistent team so far and while they lost to the Charlotte Hornets this week, they also put a beatdown on the Brooklyn Nets.
It’s crazy to see Demarcus Cousins not in the NBA anymore. Once viewed as a premier center, his personality and demeanor was a question mark but he made the game fun and exciting to watch. Now, the question remains how the big man is not playing this season and what he must do to get back.
It’s always fun to see players overachieving. At least five players are already forcing fans to say “Wow! Where did that come from?” in the first four weeks of NBA action.
The game started off poorly for the Miami Heat. Miami picked up their intensity and got back into the game. The Heat continued to build their lead and closed the game. Here are four takeaways from Wednesday’s victory over New Orleans.
As the season goes on, wear and tear take place on the bodies and that’s what we’re starting to see in the rookie class. Injuries along with resting in the active NBA schedule are becoming a common trend for this rookie class.
The road trip started off rough for the Miami Heat, who lost the first three games on the trip. After beating the Utah Jazz on Saturday, the Heat finished off the road trip with a win against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Led by Tyler Herro, the Heat picked up their scoring in the second half and were able to close the deal. With the victory, Miami moves to 9-5 for the season.
This game could’ve ended just like the past two games in Los Angeles. But, in the end, the Miami Heat were able to seal the deal.
The Ben Simmons era in Philadelphia is headed towards a messy end. The two sides have been far apart in building back their relationship since the Philadelphia 76ers got eliminated in the 2021 playoffs.
Far more surprises and stat lines than predicted. The bulk of the season is starting to begin and some teams are establishing themselves as playoff favorites while others are looking towards the lottery.
In recent days, the Boston Celtics have been linked to becoming the new recipient in the Ben Simmons drama. Brad Stevens and Daryl Morey have had conversations that would send disgruntled forward Simmons to the Celtics for a large haul.
Despite having control for long stretches, and many opportunities in overtime, the Heat couldn’t put the Los Angeles Lakers away. With huge production from their reserves, the Lakers were able to escape with a win. The loss puts Miami at 7-4 for the season.
This was not the start that the Atlanta Hawks had in mind coming off an appearance in the Eastern Conference Finals last season. Atlanta is off to a 4-7 start and has looked like a below-average team through the early part of this season.
