Even though I don't follow basketball as regularly and well as I do football (if I could I would), the Spurs, seem to be ripping up their division. They've won six on the trot and are comfortably ahead of the Lakers. They've just come off a win against the Nuggets and really look like the favourites to win the title (with the Boston Celtics).
As far as I can tell, everybody was slightly writing them off before the season began, with the title favourites again being the Lakers and the Celtics, but really that's totally wrong. They have dominated the NBA in the past decade, it has to be said, and Tim Duncan, although he is getting old is arguably the best power forward in the NBA. However something that's quite surprising when you look at the Eastern Conference is the fact that the Miami Heat are not first. You would expect them to be: they've got James, Wade AND Bosh, and in terms of individual talent, I don't think many would argue that they've got the best team in the NBA.
But again the Celtics seem to be right up there, as they always are. They the NBA equivalent of Germany in football. Always regular and up there with the best. Miami are irregular, but with all their stars, I was expecting them to win everything. Lebron James took Cleveland to the NBA Finals SINGLE HANDED (this season they are rock bottom with 32 losses) and so I was expecting Miami to be totally dominant. But they actually aren't.
