Shortly after we passed the one-third mark of this NBA season, I wrote a piece entitled “ A look around the NBA one-third of the way through the season”. Pretty clever title, right? Even more clever, and prescient, was the sub-headline: ”A race to the bottom, the boring East, and chaos in the West.” Remarkably, that sub-headline applies just as well right now, as most teams are right at the two-thirds mark of their seasons. To pick a team at random, the Spurs’ Saturday night game will be their 57th of the 82 game season. If you do the math, that is just over 67% of the season.
