Tier 1 Spotlight: Houston Rockets

The best defense? More offense! James harden offensive game is so lethal at this point, you almost forget how porous of a defender he is. Russell Westbrook's arrival has not slowed his scoring production in the slightest. This team is functioning a lot better than originally thought in the pre-season.

Tier 2 Spotlight: Dallas Mavericks

Luca, in his sophomore season, is averaging 30+ PPG and a triple-double. When I was his age I was proud if I made it to all my morning classes in a given week. If Porzingis maintains good health, this team can elevate themselves above their recent run of mediocrity.

Tier 3 Lowlight: Washington Wizards

If Washington can figure out their defense this team could shoot up my rankings quickly. They look great on the offensive end but are lost defensively. Unfortunately for them, their horrendous defense thus far has been to much to overcome.

Tier 1 Spotlight:

The C's are looking like they have their heads on straight after Kyrie's departure. Gordon Hayward has looked great and a comeback win against, reigning MVP, Giannis Antokounmpo's Bucks. This team could finally live up the lofty expectations they've had in the last couple years.

Tier 2 Spotlight: Phoenix Suns

The Suns are making my pre-season rankings look good. This team beat the Clippers, who could have seen that coming? We'll see if the momentum continues into the season but this team is off to a great start

Tier 3 Spotlight: Golden State Warriors

Time for the bandwagoners to start picking up some new merch. With Steph out for a couple months and Draymonds injury, this team went from an All-Star starting line-up to dead on arrival.
