New York has been my biggest surprise. They have been without their 2nd best player in Amare, and probably also their 4th or 5th best player in Shumpert, yet they are 8-2. I didn't expect Felton to come into the season in shape and as on point as he has been, definitely didn't expect Kidd and Smith to be this hot over such a big sample size, didn't expect Melo to tone down his chucking when he's not feeling it, and didn't expect their older guys like Sheed to be this effective and in tune with the rest of the team this early. Their defense has been the best I've seen all year next to maybe Memphis, and their offense has been free-flowing with all parts moving in sync. They look great. Kevin Martin heading towards the most efficient season from a perimeter player in NBA history has been a surprise to me. Charlotte being 6-4, with the little talent they have, has been a surprise. Boston struggling so much, despite getting younger and deeper has taken me a bit off guard, though I expect them to improve a lot. I expected Iguodala to mesh a lot more smoothly than he has so far in George Karl's system. Lastly, Anthony Davis' offense being so effective has been a big surprise to me. I thought for sure it'd take him at least 1-2 seasons before his scoring production would reach the late teens, but he's proven me wrong.
