HOT
1. Brooklyn - unlike in previous seasons, the Nets has been very good this regular season and with most of their core are in their prime, i smell a dynasty in the making.
2. Portland - the Blazers are silently on the rise with a 5-game winning run. They have been burning the hoops especially from downtown, thanks to Hali, Fultz and Jessup.
3. Washington - the Wizards are a legit threat out East but seems having trouble keeping role players with a revolving door. Hopefully they've found it with the latest acquisition in Isaac and Middleton.
4. Atlanta - the Hawks are on a mini winning run of three and 5 of the last 6. What's impressive is they have beaten the likes of Miami, Milwaukee, Cleveland in this stretch and almost beat Brooklyn in OT.
5. New York - the Knicks are starting to play well since the arrival of Frank Jackson. They actually have not lost since then. There confidence is on a high level after learning that they have been playing with a default coach settings in that dismal start to the season.
NOT
1. Orlando - the Magic are on a 10-game losing skid but they have started to address the matter lately with several trades here and there. Next week could be a make or break though they are not worrying that much because they have their pick anyway.
2. Chicago - losers of 4 games in a row, the Bulls are actually playing to win but their young core is not ready to compete at a high level just yet.
3. Golden State - the Warriors are on a slump and they don"t really know what hit them. It's a growing pain and disappointment for this proud franchise who topped the conference for the past couple of years.
4. Utah - the Jazz just can't play consistently. They were great in some games but awful more often. With their pick not in their hand, they have to act quick or else a regretful season is at stake.
5. Memphis - the Grizz got hit by the injury bugs with Wagner unable to play for a week already. Good thing they are talented enough to probably survive this upcoming stretch.
