1. Cleveland Cavs 13-5
The Cavs are on top of the East as of now. Their record is 13-5. As a team they put up 114.2 ppg and allow 110.9 ppg. They are in the bottom part of team scoring but in the top of points allowed. They have a very good defensive team. If they can get some more offence then look out league. They are in the top half in steals but bottom half in blocks. They are being led by some nice offensive players. Kevin Loathe is putting up 28.3 ppg and 10.8 rpg. Very good numbers for a power forward. His efficiency scoring wise is also pretty good. The turnovers are at 1.5 tpg. Next is Paul Arizin. Another good offensive player. He is giving the Cavs 26.4 ppg and 7.2 rpg as a small forward. Very good numbers for Paul. Jerry Mullen is also playing nicely for the Cavs. He is putting up 23.1 ppg at 1.0 tpg. Joe Dean is playing point guard decently for the Cavs but the turnovers are a bit high. At 3.1 tpg. He is putting up 20.9 ppg though. The Cavs have some solid shot blockers in Victor (3.2 bpg) and Gibson (2.4 bpg). Ernie Vandeweghe is also playing good and putting up 17.2 ppg and 7.3 rpg. This is a very good team and i think they can make it pretty far. They have really good defence but i think the offence can get even better but hey, they are at the top so nothing to worry about.
2. Miami Heat 11-5
The Miami Heat are second in the East as of now. The record is 11-5. As a team they put up a whopping 126.7 ppg. Very good offence going on in Miami. They are in top 5 in the league at team ppg. They are in the top half at team ppg allowed. As a team they put up 11.4 bpg. Thats top 3 numbers in blocking. They are also at the top part in steals per game. Very good numbers for the Heat. They have a few players at 25+ ppg. Mel Hutchins is playing at 25.4 ppg, 11.5 rpg and 2.9 bpg. Those are some serious numbers. Plus his turnovers are low at 1.5 tpg. Then you have Noble Herrero who is putting up 27.6 ppg and 8.8 rpg as a shooting guard. Very good numbers for a shooting guard. Elias Bauer is also having a good season for the Heat. Elias is putting up 25.8 ppg and 1.9 spg. The turnovers are low to at 1.5 tpg. The Heat have a shot blocker in Marques Thompson. He is putting up 2.6 bpg. Bulbs Ehlers is having a good season putting up 18.9 ppg. Heat have a very good team. I like this team come playoff time.
3. Indiana Pacers 13-6
Pacers are 3rd in the East right now. The record they have is 13-6. Lets assess what we have here. Firstly, as a team they put up 124.7 ppg. Thats 8th in the league in team ppg. They allow 120.3. Thats the bottom half in opposing team ppg. The Pacers rely heavily on scoring. As a team they have 9.1 bpg. Thats near the middle of the league in bpg. The steals are around the same area too. Pacers have four players at 20+ ppg. Dwight Swails is putting up 26.5 ppg and 7.4 rpg. The turnovers are low to at 1.8 tpg. Solid defender too. Then you have J.L. Parks who is a point guard putting up 25.5 ppg and 1.9 spg. The turnovers are really high though at 3.6 tpg. They are winning games so its probably not a really big issue but the Pacers should try to fix it. Clyde Lovellette is playing great for the Pacers. 22.3 ppg and 12.2 rpg. He is also putting up 2.1 bpg. Very good play for the center. Raven Anders is giving the Pacers 2.4 bpg. Lew Hitch is putting up 20 ppg. Plus he is a good rebounder for the small forward position. He is putting up 7.4 rpg. Bob Brown off the bench is looking nice too. 13.5 ppg in 28.1 mpg. Thats good numbers. Decent team. Will make playoffs but not sure how far they can go. Hope for the best though.
4. New York Knicks 12-6
At 4th in the East is the New York Knicks. Their record is 12-6. As a team they put up 121.8 ppg. That's the middle part of the league in team ppg. They allow 116.9 ppg. That's about the same area as their team ppg. As a team the block shots at 9.4 bpg and steal at 9.9 spg. They are near the middle of the league in blocks and top 5 in steals. Knicks have a 30+ ppg scorer in Dajuan Wagner. He is putting up 30.4 ppg. They turnovers are decent at 2.3 tpg. I think the rebounding is pretty good at 6.7 rpg. Max Drexel is also putting nice at 24.8 ppg and 10.6 rpg but not much of a shot blocker. Good scoring big man though. A.L. Bennett is also playing decent at 18.1 ppg in 25.1 mpg. Old man Scottie Barnes is still around and giving Knicks 17.8 ppg, 7.4 rpg and 7.2 apg. Very good play for Barnes. Still a wonderful player at the age of 37. Marcus Frieberger is also playing nice for the Knicks giving them 3.6 bpg and 11.1 rpg. Solid numbers for Marcus. I think this team needs some more offence. If they can do that then they would be a lot better. Good team though.

Nets are tied with Knicks at 12-6 record. Nets, according to playoffs standing page, are 5th in the East though. Their record is 12-6. They put up 120.4 ppg as a team.

Then you have Kyle Kennedy putting up 27.6 ppg. The rebounds are nice to at 7.9 rpg. Gene Stump is giving the nets solid scoring at 18.1 ppg. Nets have two nice big men. First, Jalen Mbala is blocking shots at a high rate; 4.3 bpg. He is number one in the league at blocking shots. Great big man. Plus he rebounds and scores. George Brown giving the Nets 2.3 bpg and 12 rpg. Very good big man play for the Nets. I like this team. If they can get some more scoring then watch out.
