Only a month into the 2015-16 campaign, we can already say this has been one of the weirder NBA seasons over the last few years. So far, the undefeated Golden State Warriors are miles ahead of the rest of the league, then there’s the San Antonio Spurs and Cleveland Cavaliers, and then pretty much everyone else falls in line…somewhere.

One thing never changes, however: through the first month of a new season, everyone’s preseason predictions are put properly in their place, with the overreaction tendency making it easy to ignore the fact that we’re still working with small sample sizes.
