There are a few teams that are shining bright right now. But there are 4 teams that are sitting atop of the 30 teams right now. The Lakers, Celtics, Magic, and the Cavaliers. Who are all more than 20 games above .500. These teams practically already have playoff berths. There are also some teams that are playing better than expected. Like the Denver Nuggets. Who were predicted not to make the playoffs this year. Ever since they traded Allen Iverson for Chauncey Billups. The Nuggets have been 29-13. The Pistons have not been so well since they got Allen Iverson. I personally think that the Pistons haven't found that chemistry together yet. The Atlanta Hawls are also a big surprise in the NBA. They too were no predicted to make the playoffs. Well, they are looking like a playoff team right now as they sit at the number 4 spot in the west. And the Miami Heat. They were supposed to do ok this season. But they are playing better than ok as they are the number 5 team in the East. Some disappointments are the Pistons which I already talked about. The Philadelphia 76ers and the Toronto Raptors who were to be playing like title contenders but are playing like they want a early draft pick in next years draft. The Washington Wizards are probably the biggest dissappointment right now as they are dead last in the NBA with the worst record of 9-36. Here are a look at the divisions right now.
