    I'm thinking maybe the Lakers or Warriors (in a bad way)</p>

    Warriors lost to Utah, Cleveland, Dallas, Detroit, Clippers: 4 playoff teams, and a team that just missed the playoffs (albeit, the Clips are without Brand now) , and have since reeled off 3 straight (including avenging thier loss against LAC), not to mention Stephen Jackson missed the first 7 games, nothing really surprising there to me.</p>

    </p>

    I would say Charlotte is suprising, watched the game they played versus the Sixers, and they convinced me they HAD to be the worst team in the league.</p>

    Bobcats are playing pretty damn good. Especailly with Wright sucking it up, the trade looks really good.</p>

    Sucking it up? He's barely even played...the trade won't be completely able to be analyzed for a couple years, on account of BWright's development.</p>

    You have to be good to earn playing time and he hasn't been getting any.You can also suck now and be good in the future.</p>

    Good? Orlando and Milwaukee. Two teams that live and die by the jumper have sunk a fair few since game 1.... Even though the bucks have lost a few, they have been plaing well and I wouldnt be surprised to see them above .500 come the end of the season.</p>

    Bad? Warriors, Bulls and *gasp* Knicks. Man NY is even worse than I envisaged... And I was really pessemistic..</p>

    Have to say Orlando... I dont think anyone expected them to jump out to a start like this.</p>

    LeBron did it. Many others did it but he's just not ready. I'm not saying he will suck when he's 27 but now Sean Williams > Brandon Wright.</p>

    I would have to say the Magic too, Dwight has been a beast with Lewis and Nelson playing good. The Lakers are right behind them, considering all that drama before the season with Kobe. So far in the season, Kobe is playing like a MVP and the bench has been one of the best in the league. Also with Bynum improving and constantly getting double doubles.</p>

    He plays for a coach that hates rookie, and he needs to add strength. He'll be alright, I saw him, in one of his games, and in limited minutes he had like 9pts 6rebs.</p>

    Good - Orlando
    Bad - Chicago</p>

    I thought the Magic would play around .500 basketball the entire season and just sneak into the playoffs.</p>

    I never expected the Bulls to get off to this type of start with a lot of turmoil. They started slow last year, but you could see confidence in them. This year they seem to be full of excuses.</p>

    1) Lebron was the #1 overall pick, and one of the best prospects in 30 years, or so. 2) Sean Williams has nothing to do with Wright. 3) Williams is a unique case because of his character red flags and getting kicked off the team at BC. Based on talent, he would have been picked higher. 4) Look at players like Jermaine O'Neal, Dirk Nowitzki, Tracy McGrady, Steve Nash...all had weak rookie years, because they didn't play much, but developed and became all-stars...Wright has so much time, you can't possibly say that he sucks now just because he doesn't play.</p>

    Nets - I didn't expect them to start so slowly.</p>

    Hornets - Look like a playoff team, better record than Houston right now.</p>

    You are not understanding what I'm saying. He sucks right now. Now is the key word. Steve Nash, Tracy and others sucked when they came in hense why no playing time and why I said he still can be good when he's older.</p>

    GS should fire their GM for trading J-Rich for someone who sucks! How could someone who sucks get taken with the 8th overall pick?</p>
