With big matchups this week between the Lakers and Cavs, Lakers and Celtics and Celtics and Spurs, we are starting to get an idea of who are the best teams in the league. So I decided to look at the whole league and see where I think the teams fall.
1 Lakers
Is there any more they can prove? Winning at Boston in a playoff atmosphere, and following that up by being the first team this year to beat the Cavs at the Q. Impressive stuff, especially coming on the heels of losing Bynum. It remains to be seen if Lamar Odom will show up in big games consistently like he did vs Cleveland.
2 Cavs
Really expected more from King James in the hyped up showdown vs the Lakers. I guess they had to lose at home sometime. Right?
3 Celtics
Last time they lost to the Lakers, they followed it up with a 2-7 run that had everybody giving up on them. Since their latest loss to L.A. they’re 1-1, and staring a tough road trip in the face. Just sayin.
