The Double Double

Luka Doncic has been absolutely incredible recently. He is averaging 46/11/10/2.4 over his past 5 games, carrying a team that otherwise would have no shot of winning these games. Kawhi and the Clippers have been rolling recently, with Kawhi starting to regain his mid range killer ability. Zion has flourished as the clear #1 guy with Brandon Ingram injured, and the Pels are incredible. This year's MVP race is one of the most exciting in recent years, and the number of legitimate candidates is absurd. Enjoy!

The Brooklyn Nets are on a 9 game win streak and are currently 20-7 under Head Coach Jacque Vaughn. The team looks deadly on both sides of the ball, and they could be proving themselves as a team to be feared come playoff time. The Sixers are getting healthier each day, and with that the strength of this team has become very clear. With Maxey returning soon, be ready for this team to dominate the East Alongside the Bucks, Celtics, Cavs and Nets. The Christmas Day slate was one of the more entertaining in recent memory, and we have some insight this episode into each game, and each team that played. Enjoy!

After the hottest start to a season by any team in years, the Celtics have lost 4 of their last 5 games. They're still a top 10 offense and defense, but the losing streak is something to keep an eye on going forward. The Magic went on a 6 game winning streak recently, beating good teams in the process. Paolo looks incredible already, clearly a lock for ROTY. OG Anunoby is on the trade market, Nikola Jokic is going crazy and the Nuggets hold the 2 seed in the West. Also, Steph Curry will be missing a month with a shoulder injury, which will really hurt Golden State. Enjoy!

Zion and The Pelicans have been on a tear recently, going 9-1 in their last 10 and winning 7 straight without Brandon Ingram. They have a top 5 offense and defense right now, and their ceiling is even higher than where they are at right now. The Nets have been doing well since Jacque Vaughn took over as head coach, playing respectable defense and rising to 4th in the Eastern Conference.

We have made it through about a quarter of the NBA Season, and it is time to give out early awards. There are some pretty fun races this year. The MVP race seems pretty clear through a quarter of the season, but awards like 6MOTY and DPOY seem very up for grabs.

Anthony Davis has been one of the best players in basketball these past few weeks, putting up 44 and 10 in a win over the Bucks last night. The Lakers have been playing with more heart recently and they are starting to string together wins. Luka and the Mavs are 1-5 in their last 6 games, with a lot of public scrutiny over how effective this style of basketball actually is. Zion dropped 30 in back to back games as he has been more empowered to play to his strengths. There is a lot of news going on in the NBA right now, we hope you enjoy the recap!

The Celtics are 15-4 at this point in the season. They are missing Robert Williams III and they have a first year Head Coach in Joe Mazzulla, but they continue to dominate the NBA with their 3 point shooting. This episode, we have a good debate about Luka Doncic's solar-system ball and whether or not it works, as well as when the right time to determine whether or not a player is a bust is. In the second half, we talk about the West being incredibly competitive, and the margins between seeds being razor thin. It is way too early to know where any teams in the west will end up. This was a fun episode to make, I hope you all enjoy!

Welcome back to The Double Double. Today, we have a long episode for you. We went over our thoughts for the biggest surprises and the biggest disappointments so far through Week 5 of this season. We cover some players who have shocked people, Like SGA and Markkanen, as well as some teams that have taken a big leap like The Jazz or The Kings.

Today, we will be breaking down our Power Rankings for the top 10 teams in the NBA right now. This is based on recent play, so teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers who started incredibly hot but have skid recently are not on the list. Almost all of these teams are 6-4 or better in their last 10 games. Let us know if you agree with our rankings! Enjoy!

The Boston Celtics are on a 7 game-win streak and currently have the best record in the NBA. Joe Mazzulla has struggled a bit in some moments with calling time-outs and putting out questionable lineups, but we have seen great improvement just in this winning streak. The offense for the Celtics has been otherworldly, and there are reasons to belive in their defense improving over the coming weeks. The Cavs have lost 4 straight close games and are started to notice problems with their young core closing games. Joel Embiid put on one of the best regular season performances of all time against the Jazz, while Nikola Jokic is only taking 13 shots a game and has taken a backseat to scoring to let other guys get involved in his teams offense. We cover some other important teams as well like the Blazers and Pelicans this episode. Enjoy!
