The NBA season is still just two weeks old, but certain trends can already be noticed around the league.
For one, Chris Paul has fit into Golden State as well as one could’ve hoped, and the Warriors are playing like contenders once again. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, the Clippers continue to Clip along, as they doubled down on an aging core by adding yet another player whose best days are five years behind him.
We’re still dealing with small sample-size theatre, but many of these trends can be predictive of future success, which is why they shouldn’t be glossed over, either.
