Roundup the first week

As the end of first week of the season approaches, we have already been entertained with a few surprises (especially if you are fan of the Bulls, the Pacers or the Heat). But here comes an interesting one.

According to Peter May, the respectful pro-sport journalist, the #1 defensive team in the NBA, in terms of field goal percentage (35.9%), is the Boston Celtics. And not only are they tops in that category, they also were third in points allowed (article).

I should point out that Celtics have had a relative easy schedule so far (played only two games). Both wins, however, are against play-off teams with pretty good offence.

So the sign is there, with fresh legs and light travelling schedule. Let's see if they can keep this up.
