<TD>The Celts' only two losses came on the road on the second night of a back-to-back. Our guy Rondo, meanwhile, has racked up at least 15 assists in seven of 10 games already ... after doing so eight times all of last season.</TD></TR>

<TD>8-0</TD>
<TD>Fun factoid to keep the Hornets in Dreamland, even after they finally lose one: The last team to take an L in each of the past three seasons (Celts in '07-08, Lakers in '08-09 and Celtics in '09-10) all made it to the Finals.</TD></TR>

<TD>8-2</TD>
<TD>It's not just two straight L's that dropped the Lakers two spots. It's how they lost. Giving up 239 points in the past two games without going into overtime in either one, specifically. After all that nationwide slobbering. </TD></TR>

<P>시즌 초반 셀틱스와 호넷츠의 선전이 두드러진 것 같습니다.</P>
<P>개인적으로는 시간이 지날수록 히트의 순위가 오를 것으로 예상합니다.</P>
<P>그리고 시즌이 끝날 때까지 호넷츠의 돌풍이 이어질지 기대되어집니다.</P>

현재로써는 보스턴이 단연 1위라고 생각되고.. 그 다음으로 레이커스.올란도.히트 정도 일듯 합니다.. 뉴올은 연승을 하고 있지만 여전히 우승 후보보다 떨어지는 것 같고요.. 샌안에 선전은 대단하네요.. 샌안 이번시즌 서부 8위 턱걸이정도로 생각했는데.. 이번시즌 4위이내에 들을수 있을거 같네요.
첫댓글 호네츠 정말...
와..보스톤 전교1등이라니!
서부 7위에 불과한 덴버가 10위안에 들다니....
If Rondo could shoot, the Celtics might be No. 1 in the rankings this week. ... ㅠ.ㅠ 마.. 쫌!
셀틱스 잘하네!
레이커스 다시 돌아오겠죠..1위로.....뉴올아 그대로 잘해주길 바란다..
댈러스 디펜스 3위 ㅎㄷㄷ
