Well we are at a quarter of the season and we can smell out the contenders from the pretenders. So I ask you, which team is the best at this moment?

Yeah, this is pretty boring. Lakers are head and shoulders better than anyone on the west, and if the Celts stay healthy they will beat Magic/Cavs/Hawks.

not to be rude what this is kind of dumb its way to early to start talking about contenders. Im a hugh lakers fan but they have had a super easy scheulde so far and the same can be said about the celtics. how about we wait until after the all star break to start talking about the best team, because the best team now doesnt mean sqaut. wait til the lakers play cleveland and the celtics to start talking about the best.

Ummm, regular season doesn't mean much in the NBA, its just about playoffs seeding and home court advantage.

Lakers and Celtics are dead even. I think the Lakers would win a seven game series though, just because of Kobe. So i'd give it to them.

I hope we get to see Paul Pierce whine like a little girl again. That was hilarious.

*UPDATE*

I dont know if you guys know this yet but I believe Lakers are 18-4 now because they lost yesterday to the Jazz.

All I have to say is that it is just too damn hard to decide over Boston and L.A. I'm going to give the slightedge to L.A atm but I dont think any other team is even close to their level.

He wont get it, he would need another 2 rings in a row and I doubt they have that in them. Also he would do it more to shut shaq up than Jordan.

I also wouldnt sleep on the Cavs either. I watch every Cav game and they just keep looking better and better. LeBrons shooting is just getting to good. Obviously not Kobe good but it is getting great and defenders cant play him close because of his amazing driving ability. There chemistry is getting better every game. If Shaq can start making the shots hes oppening up for himself they will be great. Hes been missing alot of shots that should be easy. He just bulldozes in and gets a easy shot. Hes not making them though. Once he can get them rolling(hopefully soon) well see a much better Cavs team.

Of course LeBron is going to show up, it is whether his teammates will or won't.

Although the Lakers lost, they're still the best team in my eyes.

The Lakers are a better team? Really? Considering they have played 17 home games, and have played 5 road games, 5! The Celtics have played 13 on the road and are 12-1, best in the NBA. I would have to say Boston.

Yes, people don't realize that 17 home games and only 5 road games! Lakers are great though no knock on them, but Celtics have been more impressive plus longer win streak :)
