It’s always incredible how much importance actually lies in a good start to an NBA season. While some teams slept through the offseason and are still lazily taking the time to wrestle themselves from a deep slumber as they go through the motions in the early phases of the NBA regular season, others find their season on the verge capitulation as expectations and goals realign and change (such as, reportedly, the Indiana Pacers). Some teams come out of the gates with high expectations and panic when things don’t go their way: trades, firings are often results of such starts.
