Bucks vs Heat – LeBron James is Hard to Stop When He’s Angry
The Miami Heat haven’t been playing well so far this season, and after LeBron James called out their defense in an interview, things were bound to get better very quickly, coming at the expense of the Milwaukee Bucks, not looking remotely close in a 118-95 win for the NBA champions, as the MVP got plenty of help from Mario Chalmers and even Michael Beasley.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Gets to Carry James Harden
Maybe this is the game that makes Kevin McHale understand there’s no reason for Jeremy Lin to be demoted and for James Harden to be put on a pedestal.

Indiana Pacers – Undefeated With the Best Defense in the NBA
The Indiana Pacers were considered as one of the biggest threats to the current champions dominance and reign, even if it’s without a superstar. The 8-0 start to this season, carried on with a 95-79 win over the Memphis Grizzlies, tells that they just might be the best team in the NBA, and it’s wrong to think they don’t have a superstar, as Paul George seems to answer the call.

Los Angeles Lakers – The Writing Was on the Wall
Surprised that the Los Angeles Lakers have been looking this bad early this NBA season? Then you haven’t been paying attention to the downward spiral this team has been in for the last three years, making their 23 points home loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves something that was waiting to happen, and not even close to an upset.

Minnesota Timberwolves – Ricky Rubio and a Special Triple Double
As much as the Minnesota Timberwolves looked impressive in their 113-90 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, including a triple double from Ricky Rubio as he finds his form once again after a short rough patch, it also had to do with their rivals simply being one of the worst teams in the NBA.

New York Knicks – Carmelo Anthony Playing for a Terrible Team
Last year doesn’t mean anything, and simply being called the New York Knicks doesn’t mean that a badly built team is going to do well. Carmelo Anthony might be beginning what is going to be the worst season of his career, even if his scoring does stabilize at some point. He simply doesn’t have the talent around him to help him ease through his own problems, and he himself isn’t a good enough leader to make them overachieve.
