NBA TWILIGHT ZONE!!! (TYLER)

WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE NBA?

So i took a look into the NBA these last couple of days and couldn't believe my eyes and ears! It was like i was looking into the twilight zone! I mean... The defending champions, the Dallas Mavericks are already 0-2 after losing to a Carmelo-less Denver Nuggets team. The L.A. Lakers are 0-2 after losing to the Sacramento Kings! And three of the teams that analysts are talking about making big splashes in the playoffs are The L.A. Clippers, the Charlotte Bobcats, and the Golden State Warriors!!! Then i stop and think about it.... how is this going to continue? Look at this season for a second... We have 66 games instead of 82 and crammed into a shorter amount of time... meaning there are back-to-back-to-back series, and sometimes these are in 3 different cities. What teams are this kind of season going to benefit and what teams are this season going to hurt. 

1. Young teams are going to have fresher legs during the 3 game series and shorter time frame. Teams like Oklahoma City, L.A. Clippers, Sacramento, Portland, Utah, Golden State, Minnesota, Miami, Charlotte, Chicago, N.Y. Knicks, and the N.J. Nets. The main difference between some of these teams listed is there are some that have gone through very few changes and played together last year which is a huge benefit. (ex.. OKC, Miami, Chicago)
2. Older teams are going to have a tougher time staying in games later in these 3 game series and are going to struggle. Teams like the L.A. Lakers, San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks, and the Boston Celtics. These teams have a lot of veteran players that are savvy and have proven their toughness over and over again, but it's going to be rough on those tired, worn out bodies of theirs.

So maybe this year will be like a year straight out of the twilight zone. Maybe the "bottom feeders" of the last few years make a big splash in the playoffs this year. I don't know but i'm excited to see how it all plays out.
