The Miami Heat appear to be clicking on all cylinders and have the best record in the league at 45-11... Heres a quick rundown of the rest of the league standings to this point...

Up to this point, the Cavs have been playing great team basketball. Led by 2nd years players Harrison Barnes and Kyrie Irving the Cavs appear to be on their way to at least a playoff birth in the Eastern Conferance.
Here is a breakdown of the Cleveland Cavaliers Team Stats up to this point in the season.

As you can see SF Harrison Barnes has been carrying the offensive load all season long, averaging close to 23ppg along with 7rpg. 2nd year PG Kyrie Irving is coming into his own and is near the top of the league leaders in assists per game at 9.4apg to go along with his 18.3ppg and 1.4 steals per game. It really is a mystery to my how Irving is not an NBA All Star this year.
