Kylie Irving, birthed March 23, 1992, in Melbourne in Australia, is an Austral-American basketball gamer. It develops as the leader for the nets of Brooklyn in National Basketball Association (NBA).
Without Irving: Durant dominated in Brooklyn
The Brooklyn Nets are without Kylie Irving a candidate for the title and shine offensively at any time of danger. James Harden came as so often something worse in the season, but his 8.9 assists per game while the third-best preparer of the league. His colleague Kevin Durant knows so far to be completely satisfactory: With 28.9 points per game, he leads the NBA scorers list and scored to defeat Stephen Curry Golden State Warriors in every game 20 points. From the field he meets outstanding 56.7 percent and shows up with 41.7 percent and from the three-point line accurately. After an average start, the Nets won eight of the last ten duels and stand with a record of 10: 5 in third place in the Eastern Conference.
German and Ravine harmony in Chicago
The Bulls again won both games last of their L.A. trips, where they were able to prevail against the Clippers and the Lakers. The decisive factor was at again Dear German, who turned out in the current season as a direct aid for the Bulls with 26.9 points the best scorer of his team is the same. The veteran relieved especially Zach Ravine on offense and the other newcomers Alex Caruso and Alonzo ball blend in well especially with its defense in the team one. Last season ended the Bulls with a yield of 31 wins and 41 defeats — this season is the trend at the beginning of a much more positive.
The engine of the Champions stutters yet
In the last play-off the Milwaukee Bucks played at even large and secured the NBA title. After 14 completed games, but the reigning champion has up to now only ranked eleventh in the East and is equipped with a statistic of 6: 8 is still on the search for form. But it also injuries played a role, as True Holiday completed only eight games and center Brook Lopez missing through injury since the first game. Done Vincenzo is further out in front and Bobby Ports has to after his hamstring injury again until acclimatize.

On the other hand, is missing from the three-point throws a bit of luck: The Bucks earn Although the third-most free throws, but this meet historically bad with an efficiency of 29.9 percent. However, should drop the throws and the Bucks play back in full occupation, will probably also knock up again.
Wizards surprisingly topped
Topped the Eastern Conference are surprisingly the Washington Wizards, the times victoriously walked out of the first 13 games of the field — even though the best player of the team missed with Bradley Deal the last two games due to a bereavement. The Wizards won so far all three season games in which Deal was missing and benefited especially with their squad depth and the fourth-best defensive rating in the league. For the Wizards it would probably be hard to keep the current level. However, with the best start to the season, the current leader of the Eastern Conference has ever a good cushion earned for possible downturns.
Warriors back on top
At the top, meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors, with the best defense of the league and its impressive team basketball enthroned in the West currently the team of the moment are. With 12-2 they put the best start out of all the teams. While Stephen Curry is also seen as the prime candidate in the MVP race leads his team as the best scorer (28.7 PPS) on the dance floor and trumped last in a direct duel against Kevin Durant Brooklyn Nets big on. The team s basketball is statistically proven by most team assists (29.2).
The euphoria of the Warrior fans at the moment seems hard to stop, role players such as Lee or America perform far but above average and should probably cool down a bit over time. On the other hand, the Warriors waive continue to Play Thompson, who is probably his comeback before Christmas, and last year s second pick of the draft, James Wiseman. Especially the three-time champion and five-time All-Star Thompson could — if he can come close to build on his old level — put the Warriors more offensive firepower and take pressure off Stephen Curry.
The Lakers in the identification phase
A less successful start recorded by the Los Angeles Lakers, the only eight were able to win 15 games and yet are looking for the necessary consistency. Newcomer Russell Westbrook is an example of the identification phase of the experienced Later teams. Brodie is still looking for his role alongside LeBron James, who could return after his injury, and forward Anthony Davis. Westbrook is one of the most exciting players in the league, the chemistry with the other two franchise players seem to be but not yet mature.
In the Defense hurts, among other things, the departure of Guard defender Caruso, offensive, especially Carmelo Anthony enters the spotlight, which converted ultimately decisive throws. That the players gentled in the years remain fit and the newly formed team plays in the heavily occupied West during the season, is currently the highest priority for the Lakers
The head of the clippers is called PG13
The direct competitor of the Lakers, the Los Angeles Clippers have no newly formed team, but have to do without their franchise player Kathy Leonard, which fails with a cruciate ligament. Without the first target player Paul George moves in the focus more in the focus — which he has mastered so far with Barbour. After the failed start to the season (five games, four defeats), the clippers then went eight times in a row as a winner of the field and overtook the city competitors in the table.
George (27 PPS) and directed Jackson Jr. (18.1 PPS) lead the offense — behind it are the clippers with Terence Man, Nicolas Datum, Luke Dennard and Eric Bedsore, which placed all 10+ PPS each, wide. Especially pleasing also for German fans: Center Isiah Hammerstein sees about 16 minutes per game and plays a role in the Forecourt at the L.A.-Club.
Nine victories in series — Suns again in the track
Like the Clippers, the previous year s finalist from Phoenix has played into a noise: with nine victories in a row, the team conquered around Chris Paul and Devin Booker. After the disaster start (2-3), the team from Monty Williams found back into the track, but used a light Schedule against teams, which will probably not play the play-offs except for the Memphis Grizzlies and the Atlanta Hawks. The defense of the Suns was more stable in the last games — but also helped the weaker opponents. So it gets exciting whether the Suns can also get their winning streaks alive against the Mass and the Nuggets in the coming games.
