So far it's a very small sample size.
I doubt San Antonio will have a negative differential for long.
Cleveland's should improve as well.
The Knicks high negative differential is interesting since they are 2-1 by slipping in two wins but getting crushed in their one loss against Chicago.

Also, the Lakers have an absolutely awful differential. I don't think it's a coincidence that the two teams that blew the Lakers out (Houston & GS) are the top-2.

I know that your team is playing well, but you can't be serious.

Klay Thompson is the leading scorer in the NBA.

Didn't see that coming.

Statistical analysis just 3 games into an 82-game season is laughable. It's completely stupid, and it's a colossal waste of bandwidth to even discuss it.

Stupid articles like this p*** me off. I guess I shouldn't expect anything less from the realgm wiretap writers, who seem to be taking lessons from BSPN and Bleachers Report in the art of click-baiting. The RealGM staff is probably just a few months away from debasing themselves with the worst kinds of click-bait articles. Such as...
