Struggling NBA Teams With Their New Stars
We've gone through several games of basketball and I'd like to take a look at some of the predictions people made about NBA teams. I happen to disagree with some of the proclamations that were made, and I'd like to explain why. Let's determine the best NBA team.
While it's true that nothing right now is set in stone, I do believe that the early season results have happened for a reason and I think it all comes down to the presence of certain players on these teams.
Some of the newer players on the best teams simply don't seem like good fits, in my opinion. In the same way that Allen Iverson was bad for the Pistons, I think that these guys will unfortunately have negative impacts on their new teams.
Ron Artest has gone to the Lakers. Sure, he's a great defensive player and he's incredibly talented, but I just don't think he's a team player.
I don't believe that Ron Artest wins his team games. He's a dramatic distraction to a team that had incredible chemistry.
Then there are the Cavs. Shaq is a different story than Artest, as he has a great attitude and wants to win. Unfortunately, I think he just throws off the team's rhythm and his presence in the middle might not be so good for the team. Their record so far would indicate this too.
Vince Carter hasn't found his rhythm in Orlando, and I'm not convinced that he ever will. I believe that he's a ball hog who did more bad for the Nets than good.
This leaves me with the Boston Celtics. Rasheed Wallace was a winner in Detroit, and will be the same in Boston. Therein lies the strongest team in the NBA, in my opinion.
