Picking my top ten was not an easy task. I didn't just go solely on record, but also on how their last couple of games has been and who is on the team. For instance, the Celtics are 4-4 and have the worst record in this group. But, I put them at 8th because they have been playing better as of late with Paul Pierce back in the mix and they have a better unit then the two teams below them. If I went just on record, the Cleveland Cavaliers would be a possibility with a 4-3 record. I was considering putting teams that have talent but are underperforming (Knicks, Dallas, and Memphis). It wouldn't be fair because these teams have not proven themselves yet, and the teams that did make the list did. Other teams like the Clippers, Atlanta and Philadelphia are on the outside looking in.
