Indiana Pacers an A

Sound about right?
With the defensive improvements, another career year from Parker, Duncan's resurgence, and playing more Splitter the Spurs should be an A goddammit
Stephen Jackson lost his swagger?
Fran Blinebury ain't bout dis life
I don't see how top of the league (in record, offense, and defense) means a B+, tbh.
Lol, best team in the league to this point (record) is a B+. What a joke...
I am assuming it has to do with expectations, injuries & current record/level of play.
B+ is a good thing, it means someone thinks we could be playing much better.
An "A-" at least...
True enough. I'd be more worried if the Spurs played better in the first half of the season than in the second.
Whats even worse, is that they gave the Lakers a C-. A C FRIKKIN MINUS!?
How the Cavs get a D considering their injuries is beyond me. That team is playing at least as well as can be expected.
LOL @ the Mavs getting a "C" for on a pace to not make the playoffs.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL @ the Lakers getting a C-. What the ? The Lakers to date are the worst bomb in the history of the league. An F instead of an F- would be KIND to them.
LOL @ Houston getting a C in the same season they land a guy who's very soon going to be the best 2 in the NBA if he isn't already.
Pistons a D+? What the were they expected to accomplish this year?
These grades are . Let me try some of my own:
Hawks: B Doing pretty damn well all things considered.
Celtics: D+ Same core but no help at all from role players, Rondo's injury not-withstanding.
Nets: A- Given DWill's struggles this season it's amazing that they look like the 4th best team in the East right now.
Bobcats: D+ Not sure what the author expected out of this abysmal team.
Bulls: A They're winning without the best guard in the East. Pretty incredible.
Cavs: C+ Given their injuries they're doing well, and Irving is a monster already. They have a young group to build around for the future.
Mavs: D Struggling even with Dirk back. Not looking good.
Nuggets: A- The patchwork quilt of the NBA. Somehow making it happen more often than not.
Pistons: B- Quietly developing a young core to build around for the future.
Rockets: B They've got their man, now they need to put pieces around Harden.
Warriors: A+ Who saw them playing like this? Very good, very fast, a threat to make noise in the playoffs.
Pacers: A Great defense, with some youth and length to be an upset threat in the East.
Clippers: A Fantastic showing thus far from a team a lot of people said wouldn't be able to make it happen.
Lakers: F- Lol.
Grizzlies: D+ They should be in much better position given their talent and trade chips they have. No guard threats on O except Conley.
Heat: C Best record in the East, coasting, imo, tbh, zzz. Why should they push themselves right now?
Bucks: A- Big surprise from a team no one saw even being relevant. Future remains pretty uncertain.
Wolves: C- Not going to dock them much for catching the injury bug.
Hornets: B- Again, what can you expect? Playing much better as of late.
Knicks: A They're exciting and they appear to be a solid team. Could do damage in a very weak East.
Thunderefs: B- Above a C due to Durant playing like he wants a le, but Westbrook is a serious ? for this team as the 24/7 #2 guy.
Magic: B- Overachieving in the 1st half. That's a scary prospect.
Philly: B The emergence of Jrue is a bright spot for a team that fortunately plays in a weak conference.
Suns: C- They need to figure out what they're going to do with one of the most valuable trade assets in the league right now in Gortat.
Blazers: B Playing well against a lot of expectations. Very streaky team.
Kings: D Cousins implosion a bad mark on the last season in Sacramento.
Spurs: A+ They're doing it again.
Raptors: C+ Some diamonds in the rough give this team a shred of hope for the future. That shred will probably get dealt to the Lakers at some point.
Jazz: D+ Utterly unable to progress with a bright young core thus far.
Wizards: B Very respectable considering their injuries and talent level. Playing solid ball upon Wall's return.
A lot of teams get over a C due to the fact that in a league with so little parity, it's impressive to find that some teams are even competing on a semi-regular basis.
Okc tabbed best in the west... Spurs ahead of okc in standings... Spurs get B+ thunder get A lol
If [The Thunder] stays healthy, only the Clippers possess the total package of quickness, athleticism and depth to give the Thunder a run for Western Conference supremacy.

Don't poke the friggen' Zombie!!!
If you read the article in the link, it's almost the same as what Blinebury wrote up there.
Change out some of the names but truthfully...
The Song Remains the Same!

You're either a hater or plain re ed. Take your pick.
lol @ thunderup, you mad because westbrick is overrated garbage
i love it!
has there ever been another team to have the best record and be under the radar at the same time?
good locker room material for the spurs, nothing to see here folks
The Spurs don't deserve an A simply for taking so long to start Splitter and Duncan together.
Your signature picture is too damn distracting I love it lol
I thoroughly agree with this statement.
Only score he got right was the Bobcats and even that is being overly generous.
Posters here are a little too giddy and think a little too highly about us being top ranked for a day.
What rankings for offense and defense are you looking at?
Woooooooooooooooow
Awful ing takes tbh....
