Surprising Basketball Stories in 09-10
I love basketball as much as any fan, and I’ve been following the league actively since the first day of preseason basketball. This is an exciting season of basketball, and we’ve already witnessed quite a few great moments so far.
There have been some great developing stories through the first few games of the season. Here’s a quick glimpse as to what’s going on if you haven’t been keeping up.
If you’ve been keeping up with the league, you’ve probably noticed that the Suns are tearing it up on the courts. Few people remember that this team was considered a championship contender even just two seasons ago, yet they missed the playoffs last year.
The Suns are no longer with Shaquille O’Neal, and they may very well be better off for it. Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire, Grant Hill, and the rest of the crew are playing some inspired basketball and they’re back to their fast paced game.
How about the Thunder down in Oklahoma City? Everyone knows that one day this team may eventually break out. After all, Kevin Durant is one of the best young talents in the league and he as a nice supporting cast.
The Thunder have improved some more since last season, and the beginning of their year took many fans by surprise.
With wins over the Kings and the Pistons (this one was on the road), they got off to a 2-0 start. Nearly beating the Lakers after this was perhaps the team’s best achievement.
Lastly, we should look at the weak start in Cleveland. I can’t even remember how many games it took last season before the Cavs lost twice, but it happened in just two games in 09-10.
The team lost its first two games. Sure, many could say that the loss to the Celtics could happen on any given night. How about the loss to the Raptors though? This took many by surprise, as this was a game the team never would have lost last season. With each and every game mattering as far as home court advantage goes, Cleveland needs to fix itself in a hurry.
