Top Ten Best NBA Teams in the First Quarter of the 2018-19 Season

The first quarter of the NBA season is almost over. The NBA has some great competition this year. These teams have been consistently good and they are the top teams.
The Top Ten
1 Toronto Raptors The Toronto Raptors are a Canadian professional basketball team based in Toronto, Ontario. The Raptors compete in the National Basketball Association, as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Atlantic Division.

The Raptors are no longer the LeBronto Craptors. They are legit with Kawhi. With Kawhi Leonard, Kyle Lowry, and a improved Pascal Siakam. Nick Nurse and Masai Ujiri are doing a great job. They are the best team in the NBA. They are 19-4.

New kids on the block but for how long?

The best so far. Still a way to go.

2 Milwaukee Bucks The Milwaukee Bucks are an American professional basketball franchise based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Bucks compete in the National Basketball Association as a member team of the Eastern Conference Central Division.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is superhuman. This offense is legit. Budenholzer has been great and his offense really fits Antetokounmpo. Khris Middleton has been greatly improved. The Bucks are second in the East and they are 15-6.

3 Los Angeles Clippers The Los Angeles Clippers, often abbreviated as the LA Clippers, are an American professional basketball team based in Los Angeles.

I have to give credit to the Clippers. They are playing amazing basketball. Tobias Harris has been amazing. I don't see them keeping this up though. But for now they are 15-6 and the 1st seed in the West.

4 Philadelphia 76ers The Philadelphia 76ers are an American professional basketball team based in the Philadelphia metropolitan area.

The 76ers are finally on a roll. Led by a three headed monster in Embiid, Butler, and Simmons. Elton Brand and Brett Brown have down a great job making this team a contender. They are 16-8 for the 3rd seed in the East.

5 Oklahoma City Thunder The Oklahoma City Thunder are an American professional basketball team based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

The Thunder have really taken strides this year. PG13 is playing one of his best seasons. They are an amazing defensive team. The Thunder are in my opinion the most underrated team in the league. They are the 3rd seed in the West with a record of 14-7. Good job Sam Presti.

6 Golden State Warriors The Golden State Warriors are an American professional basketball team based in San Francisco. The Warriors compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the league's Western Conference Pacific Division.

Location: San Francisco, CA

Arena/Stadium: Chase Center

Head coach: Steve Kerr

NBA championships: 2018, 2017, 2015, 1975, 1956, 1947

Owners: Joseph... read more

Sure Steph is out, but the Warriors are showing some weaknesses. They are not as good as last year. This could very well be the last year of their dynasty. They are 15-8 for 4th in the West.

Still #1 until someone beat them in the Championship

7 Los Angeles Lakers The Los Angeles Lakers are an American professional basketball team based in Los Angeles. The Lakers compete in the National Basketball Association, as a member of the league's Western Conference Pacific Division.

Head coach: Frank Vogel

Arena/Stadium: Staples Center

NBA championships: 2020, 2010, 2009, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1988, 1987, 1985, 1982, 1980, 1972, 1954, 1953, 1952, 1950,... read more

The Lakers are starting to catch fire. LeBron is having one of his best seasons. Defensively they are really good. The Lakers are 13-9 for 6th place in the West.

8 Detroit Pistons The Detroit Pistons are an American professional basketball team based in Detroit, Michigan. The Pistons compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Central Division.

Blake Griffin is legit. Dwayne Casey has done really really well in Detroit. The Pistons have been surprisingly good. They are 12-7 in the East for the 4th seed.

9 Indiana Pacers An American professional basketball team, the Indiana Pacers are based in Indianapolis, Indiana. They are a member of the Central Division in the Eastern Conference of the NBA. The Pacers have seen significant success in the league playoffs and sport navy, gold, and white as their team colors.

The Pacers are hot and they went a few games without Victor Oladipo. The Pacers could take another jump. They are 13-9 and the 5th seed in the East.

10 Denver Nuggets The Denver Nuggets are an American professional basketball team based in Denver, Colorado. The Nuggets compete in the National Basketball Association as a member club of the league's Western Conference Northwest Division.

The Nuggets have been really good, but I think they haven't played the hardest games. They are 15-7 for 2nd in the West.

Nuggets are for real if healthy will surprise the big boys in the West..

They better hurry before the Lakers get their footing.

The Contenders
11 Boston Celtics The Boston Celtics are an American professional basketball team based in Boston, Massachusetts. They are specifically known for honing infamous players such as Larry Bird, Bill Russell, Paul Pierce, and more. They are also known for having the most championships in NBA History, with 17 total.

They've showed signs of improvement but they're not quite there yet. Hayward's 30 point game was nice, but they need more. Hope they don't suffer yet another setback tomorrow night.

12 Utah Jazz The Utah Jazz are an American professional basketball team based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Jazz compete in the National Basketball Association as a member club of the league's Western Conference Northwest Division.
13 Phoenix Suns
14 Brooklyn Nets The Brooklyn Nets are an American professional basketball team based in the borough of Brooklyn, in New York City. The Nets compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference.

The Brooklyn Nets have had an unlucky start to the season as they have competed with many of the league's best teams, but just can't seem to close out games in the fourth quarter.

15 Miami Heat The Miami Heat is an American professional basketball team based in Miami, Florida. The Heat compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Southeast Division.

Children should not get paid for the every day “agenda,” chores, but when it comes to out of the ordinary chores they should. Firstly according to the article "show me money," paying children indicates a chance to practice the real world. Responsibility with your cash can lead to beneficial matters and atrocious matters, but if we can learn to handle earlier in life it will improve developing understanding cash in the real world. Additionally, also according to "show me money," children should get paid for out of the ordinary chores, but when it comes to simple everyday chores parents should not because, in the real-world nothing like “picking up toys,” get you paid, you have to learn the hardships of life. Furthermore, according to "learning responsibility,"; kids think they should be paid for accomplishing simple things as an adult. I do follow kids should be paid but a downside is in life, let's say at work your boss asks for a cup of coffee you bring the coffee and hold out your hand expecting cash, he laughs, this is because it's not actual work its just a simple task. Therefore, kids shouldn’t be paid for completing simple chores. Ultimately, children should only be paid for “constructive,” beneficial chores but not simple, “elementary,” chores.

16 New Orleans Pelicans The New Orleans Pelicans are an American professional basketball team based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Pelicans compete in the National Basketball Association as a member club of the league's Western Conference Southwest Division.
