We are all surprise by the Magic's run, but let's see if they can sustain this run or not. As the Bucks and the Sixers are just behind them.

Currently behind Boston and has a chance to be on the number 1 spot if the win streak will continue.

Currently they are on a 8 win streak, while the longest win streak in the history of this team is 9, which were on the following seasons.

1 2010-11
2 2000-01
3 1994-95

So once they break that longest win streak, they'll make a history. And judging by their next scheduled games, they'll be up against the Wizards on their next at home, (will tie if they win), next is on the road against the Cavaliers (will make history if they win).

Ok guys I changed the poll. Our new question is first team to get 20 wins. Which team do you think will achieve it?

Right now Celtics is leading with 14 wins, they only need 6 more. Magic and Bucks from the East, Timberwolves and Nuggets in the West have 13 wins each. Very close race is going on right now.

I voted for the Boston Celtics, seem to be they are one of those teams that are really consistent right now. With Brown and Tatum as their leading offensive weapons, and the the rest just jiving in the right now.

Even KP seems to be back in his prime, unlike when he plays with the Denver and Wizards team. Right now he moves differently, maybe he fells that he is on the right team right now and their chances are very high again to be in the top of the East.

Cool! We're the first three to cast votes. I also voted for Boston. When it's about consistency in the regular season, it's always Boston and Milwaukee in my head but I just feel like the former is the better team. Lillard is a good addition to Milwaukee but Boston letting go of their noisy talkative players that are sometimes seen as leaders was a good decision. Tatum and Brown are very good team players and have no ego which allowed their new roster to progress.

I'm surprised that Magic is on the list and even on the second choice. I just noticed them. They're second in the eastern conference with a huge 8-game winning streak.

I always think about Boston will go first since they are consistent so far in this season also the addition of Holiday is really creating some good impact to their current roster that's why they became more lethal this season.
Also although they let go of those guys still they get good result for acquiring a good player and that paid off since they are the current top team in the east.

Yeah, I think they still have that momentum from last year, although it's a total different team right now, but with the addition of Porzingis and Holiday, they become one of the best team right now. And I consider Brown and Tatum as the best duo in the league. They really know their role and no one overpower the other. If Tatum has the best game then Brown is just on the side letting Tatum took over and vice versa.

So my vote goes to them as well.

We are all surprise by the Magic's run, but let's see if they can sustain this run or not. As the Bucks and the Sixers are just behind them.

Impressive overall team performance by the Clippers' starters as they beat the Kings convincingly. Kahwi's 34 points with 66.7% shooting is efficient and that also comes with zero turnover. Harden's 26 points with 62.5% shooting is great as well but what impressed me more is his 5 steals in the game. He's like a different player seeing him intercept passes.

And that's what we should be expecting from James Harden, quality minutes with good contributions. So not surprise that they are the favorites in this game if I remember it correctly. The Kings back to back games and having to overcome the Warriors in their home court. Russell Westbrook almost had another triple double 9, 8, 5 in just 19 minutes, that's impressive. For the Kings though, it was just Aaron Fox again, with 40 big points, but there's no support from other players who did contribute in their big win against the Warriors. Most probably they are really tired going into this game.

I'm also surprised the current performance done by Magic this season since they are really doing a good run so we can say that there's exciting competition happening in the east and I'm sure fans really love what they see right now.

A Healthy Zion, Ingram, CJ and Valančiūnas all the positions that will be covered, they just need to work as one and create a good blend of game plays.

If the Pelicans' core players are healthy, that makes them a really strong team that could pose a serious challenge to other top teams, especially in the playoffs. But at the same time, I am still skeptical about the Pelicans' performance this season because players like Zion are too injury-prone, and there is no certainty that he will be able to perform the entire regular season without getting another serious injury before the playoffs.

They are healthy now, but it seems like they have having problem recently as domonstrated but their inconsistency. As we all know, they are currently at the number 8 spot with 10-9 wins, this stats aren't too impressive. But anyway, as long as Zion is playing with the team, I guess they'll be fun to watch especially if this season Zion will last and finish the playoffs, that sure thing is a big achievement on their part knowing how "injury-prone" is Zion.

Further, I notice that Zion's stats drop a bit this season, probably he was adviced not to be over aggressive so he'll stay healthy for a longer period.

Just look at the scoring and it seems that NOP is winning against the Sixers. They don't have Joel Embiid when I check it and it was only Maxey trying to be the next offensive guy. And since Joel is not in the middle, Zion is taking it inside and scoring big with 29 points entering the 4th quarter.

Good thing that I stay away from betting on this game, didn't read that Joel is not playing or at least questionable in this game.

So it spared me some money and maybe I will just have to take it tomorrow and bet maybe live when I have the time. It's really hard to pre-bet without knowing who's playing and who's not.

Good for you, without Embiid's presence, the Sixers are not just missing their best offensive player but also their big man, and yes Zion will take that.
advantage as he can penetrate well and create most of his inside points.

And with CJ back on the court, his offensive threat just adds up, looking with their squad if all will be healthy I guess they also have that chance.
moving forward.

A Healthy Zion, Ingram, CJ and Valančiūnas all the positions that will be covered, they just need to work as one and create a good blend of game plays.

It would be but really the Warriors beat themselves. Sacramento shot 20 free throws in the third quarter AND they had 20 turnovers in the game. On the road and they still only lost bull a last minute bucket. Not taking anything away from Sacramento but they shoukd have blown out the Warriors last night. In the playoffs that's not gonna fly.

Yes, I understand... I confess that in the playoffs it separates the "men from the children"
The Warriors are a mature and experienced team, but I believe they are in decline compared to previous seasons, compared to the Kings, I would never have imagined that they would be able to go to a game 7 against the GSW in the last season (playoffs).
The Kings have made a significant improvement compared to previous seasons and I have no doubt that they can improve even more.

We need to see and analyze how this season will go to have better parameters about these teams, but I have no doubt that if the Kings and Warriors face each other again in the playoffs it will be very interesting to watch.

It looks like Celtics and Sixers started great in first 10 matches. Timberwolves is leading the West but they don't get much appreciation in the poll.

Nobody expected them to be at the top spot. It's the same with Thunder. TBH, I didn't expect the Thunder to be at the top spot right now. I expected them to be at least at the 5th-8th spot at the start of the season, but they are playing well currently led by SGA and Chet.

As for the Timberwolves, this is the team I didn't expect to be at the top. I mean my expectations for them are low, but they're now at the top already. It seems like Gobert is back at it's "Defensive player of the year" self-already, and KAT is starting to make some improvements already. They also have good role players in Reid, and McDaniels, and a good PG in Conley. I just hope that they maintain this top spot, or if not then at least be at the top 4.

What's the hot discussion right now? Do you have any suggestion for our new poll? Let me know so I'll change it.

First team to get 20 wins maybe?

Coach of the Year? MVP? Scoring champion for the regular season?

Not really embarrassing. The Kings have been playing great basketball since last year and they continue to prove it this year, and the Warriors on the other hand really kinda suck early this season, especially Klay who seems to have lost his impact to his team.
Let's see if they could turn the table around and improve eventually.
It's also good to see for both of this team face in the playoffs again.

Sometimes I wonder how the Kings have matured and improved these days.
The result of the game against the Warriors was an excellent answer to prove this.
Maybe the Kings don't have the same level of experience as the Warriors, but I have no doubt that Sacramento will improve and in the future, they are a young team with great potential.

I also confess that it would be very interesting to watch the Kings x Warriors face each other again in the playoffs.

Once the Kings got Sabonis it was clear they became the better team. It’s almost like the Kings were built to exploit the weaknesses of the Warriors. Their lack of speed and size… Sabonis bullies the entire team and Fox shuts Curry down. The rest of the players like Monk and Barnes put them over the top. It’s time for the Warriors to do whatever is necessary to keep Steph and sign Giannis.

Klay could be the key there, but then again, this season, Klay is very disappointment for Warriors. Yeah, he had that one game wherein he give us the buzzer beater against the same team last November 1.

But not this game, the Kings can't be deny, who is guarding Sabonis? it's GPII so it's a total mismatch and he just bully everyone in the inside. Looney and Saric can't do anything about Sabonis either.

I think everyone watching the game was surprised to see the Warriors lose. That one one hell of a comeback by the Kings, who seem to have the Warriors number these days. The Warriors are just getting old and the Kings exploit their age and lack of size with youth, running, and Sabonis downright bullying them in the paint.

The Kings have some personal matters with the Warriors and they are not just giving them an easy win right now after they were kicked by the Warriors in the NBA playoffs last season. That was just amazing because you cannot see such kind of game every day where they were behind 20+ points and they battled throughout the game until they choked the Warriors in the last minute and simply snatched the win from them. That was really an embarrassing performance and surely they will not be able to move on from that easily.

Perhaps it's embarrassing for the Warriors, they have built a solid lead, and as a former champion, and still have their core, they can hold on it. And remember that they already defeated the Kings the last time, and so this will be just another clinic for them and it did.

However, the Kings doesn't want to be another victim of the Warriors as they climb back from 20+ points lead in the second quarter, cut it to 17 at the end, and then win the next 2 quarters. And with that huge comeback, they bury the Warriors for the first time.
