Tier One Spotlight : Utah Jazz

"Utah is white hot, and the Mormons couldn’t be happier.  They have lost only one of their last SEVENTEEN games. So, crack open some non-alcoholic drinks and break out your special underwear, the bandwagons starting!"

Tier Two Spotlight: Brooklyn Nets

"I am still not sure how this situation will play out.  On one hand, Kyrie looked good in his return.  The team seems a lot more functional when he’s in the line-up and there is still playoff potential on this roster. On the other hand, if Kyrie takes command of this roster, how will that impact KD? Could it lead to him being unhappy again living in someone else’s shadow?"

Tier Three Spotlight : Cleveland Cavaliers

​"Looking at this season for Cleveland is the perfect showing of why Lebron made the right call to leave.  When the future of your team appears to be a 6’1” shooting guard who can’t shoot 3's, the future looks bleak."
