only 14 teams are over .500!

We suck, but so does half the league!

Too much expansion? Not enough good teams? Only two great teams?

Has years of free angency and the current rules finally make the NBA like the NFL with parity?

teams are thinner now with expansion. one or two minor injuries can derail an entire season. that's why I don't think our hole is too deep to dig out of. no playoffs this season, but next season will be better.

The top echelon is really tough to crack!

Few surprise teams make it. and when they do, like the Nets first year, and the knicks in 99, they get killed!

Seems each year its really easy to pick the final four or so teams.

Be fun for a darkhorse team to creep in with a lower seed and put it together!

Statistically you'd expect half the teams to be above and half below .500

The NBA is ruled by bigs, it's hard to find a guy like Duncan, Dirk, Ben Wallace, Shaq, etc.

That's why I like the fact that we have Curry and Frye. If we didn't have them, I would join everyone else in the doom and gloom.

Dallas, San Antonio and Detroit are all winning about 80 percent of their games and there aren't any TRULY awful teams anymore. there's a lot of parity in teams 10 through 30 in this league right now.

True, but the disparity is even greater from the mean. Lots of bottom feaders with few in the middle.

Statistically, I'd expect an inane contribution from you.
