Positive:
Team: Clippers.  When looking over the teams to start the season I thought they really only had 2 players worth anything, and Maggette couldn't play defense (obviously, livingston was a young talent but didn't think he'd be all that productive this year).  Be to in the playoffs in the west is amazing at this point.

Player: Andre Iguodala, Bucks.  His ratings, frankly, aren't that great.  Could be a decent scorer in time, but doesn't excel at anything.  Well, he's been scoring (12 ppg), even hitting 3's (30 made on the season), and his after a move to pg his assist/turnover ratio is incredible for a guy with C handles (over 2.5/1 assist to turnover ratio).  There are some players that always tend to perform better than their stats, I guess he's one of them.

Negative:
Team: Phoenix Suns.  Have been surging of late, but before that were dreadful.  There's a lot of talent there, so you expect that it was an anomaly at the beginning of the season, but it was certainly a surprise.

Player: Gilbert Arenas.  Yeah, he's been scoring (16.5 ppg), rebounding (4.7 rpg from the pg spot) and distributing (7.3 apg), but 6 turnovers/game from your point guard is simply unacceptable.  By far the league leader.

Well, Andre Iguodala's definitely a surprise on my part.

I didnt expect that he would be that good. Its one loss on my part but i considered it as a "one step backward- 2 step forward move"
I need a guy who can contribute now with AI and TD not getting any younger. And from the moment i saw Iggy's rating I thought that it would take some time for him to average the kind of stats his having right now. So I got Mike James who averaged almost the same with Iggy but with more steals.
And i got to dump KT's contract, which all sixers fan knew how bad it was.

Regarding the surprise in the half topic, I think the biggest surprise would be the Hornets, Bucks and the Magic bein the top teams in the east. I thought that Miami and my team would lead the east all the way.

And i dont know, why the suns have been playing that badly.

Arenas was at 6.7 to's just last week. Since I moved him to sg he's now dropped to 5.9. I expect his to #'s to keep dropping as the season progresses.

Positive:
The Bucks...
How is this team winning so many games?
Runner up for me is the Wizards. I predicted that they would be a top ten (if not top 5) lotto pick. Shows how much I know...

Negative:
The Grizzlies...
I thought they were a well balanced team, but they really struggled early on. They look a little bit better right now, but still, they should be playing better.

Well, I agree with moving him to 2-guard.  In fact, I think I told that to you directly.

I was simply talking about it "up to this point".

I would say that two negatives would be the Pacers and Bulls due to their lack of interest in our league.

You would think both would have great teams, but neither puts any effort into it.
