Thank you for proving my point. They've won 44% of their games (that's less than half, for those of you playing at home) and are one of the more hyped teams in the league. New York gets an exception because of where they play, and their disappointing season so far. But a below .500 team doesn't deserve that much hype.

People tend to still think teams like Boston are elite teams in the league and this year is showing there is a new breed of elite teams in the NBA. These old teams like the Mavericks, Spurs and Celtics are just not that great any longer.

Wolves can get better, but I like the Cavs potential in the longterm, and that's mainly because of Kyrie Irving. He has the chance to be special, despite Byron Scott trying really hard to not allow that to happen.
