Five teams are currently top 8 in both offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency -- MIL (2,1), BOS (4,4), LAL (6,5), LAC (5,7), UTA (6,8). Then Dallas is having a historically great offensive season in terms of offensive rating.

I think you meant to say that only two teams are in the top 4 in each? ;)

Hey guys, haven't been posting (can you say that in english? lol) here for a while because i usually rewatch all games during daytime in germany and at this point i'm always late to the party in the VC-threads :D
Just wanted to share some quotes from our favorite german basketball player because Vanilla Theis writes a little Blog for some german sportsmagazine:
1. He says that he and the whole team feels much more comfortable being an underdog and that the pressure during last season was sometimes too hard to handle for everyone.
2. He likes the team and says that chemistry this season has been pretty good. They hang out together and just try to share more time as a team off the court.
3. He is happy to be a starter, never expected that coming in this season.
4. January was pretty exhausting for the players and he is looking forward to the allstar break especially because he wants to share some time with his family. His second child, a son, was born in late november and he hasn't seen him a whole lot until now.

Theis is a good guy. Seems to have lost a buddy in Baynes, but probably doesn't mind inheriting his spot in the rotation.

Nuggets-Jazz might be worse for TV ratings but that is going to be a great game.

I tell ya, Rob is gonna be the next Perk. He'll be a tough team leader and enforcer on D and he's already the most quotable guy on the team.

His teammates are all a distant second:

LOL at Kemba and Enes.

Now I'm wondering what my answer is. Early candidates include the Habanera (Carmen's first aria), "Lord, It's Hard to be Humble", "Let It Be", and the opening bars of the Mendelsohn Violin Concerto.
