Biggest surprise so far this season? (alien.top)

I’d have to go with the Magic being 11-5 and on a 6 game win streak.

Watched the Celtics game and they played great individual and team defense while taking high IQ shots. Which is a rarity now because usually teams with young rosters keep chucking it with no disregard with what is happening on the court (Grizzlies). This Magic squad is very well coached.

Legit if they can get a couple of 3 and D players, or resurrect prime Klay Thompson, this team can be extremely scary.

Are you for real with the shade to the Grizzlies?

The G leaguers (ALL OF THEIR TEAM IS INJURED) are chucking, but the team prior to this had a better constructed offence and was one of the best defenses in the league. Way to kick a team when they’re down

Bruh I watched the Clippers vs Grizzlies game and Clips have NO INTERIOR defense, but y’all kept deciding the shoot 3s. Y’all had a big lead, lost it and barely won.

Best part is when Grizzlies forced a turnover, went on a 3 on 1 fast break and Bane, already having a bad start, bricked a 3 pointer. Even the commentators said that was a very bad shot.

They're having to reconfigure the offense/their style of play because they are missing their starting PG, SF, C, and backup PG, PF, C. They are missing 5 of their best 8 players right now.

They are playing Jacob Gilyard, Ziaire Williams, David Roddy, John Konchar, Vince Williams, Bismack Biyombo heavy minutes right now. Of course they suck.

Totally unfair to use them as the 'poorly organized team' example when they literally were doing what Orlando is doing right now for the pst 2 seasons. There are so many actually bad young teams to choose from. This one's just hurt
