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.

Rise of the underdog/previously underperforming or rebuilding teams in general like the Wolves, Magic, Thunder, and Rockets.

I did not expect Rudy and KAT to work this well right away. I was a believer in the trade, and was called crazy and a "coper" a lot last year, but even I did not expect KAT's defense to be as good as it has been and Rudy to look like a DPOY again.

I did not expect Grizzlies to start this poorly and be as injured as they are. It makes sense they are struggling, like practically their whole rotation is out. I find it weird when people make fun of them, it's like laughing at the crippled kid.
