NBA Teams with Winning Records and No Superstars

I like the Portland Trail Blazers and the Denver Nuggets' attitudes towards winning. You do not need a superstar to win basketball games. Carmelo Anthony left the Denver Nuggets for New York because he wanted to play with Amare Stoudemire. He wanted to play with a superstar. In Denver, there's no more Anthony. Now, there is Ty Lawson, a good starter for being a point guard taking over Chauncey Billups' job. Arron Affalo is the Nuggets' starting 2-guard. Danilo Gallinari is Denver's starting small forward. Nene Hilario is the team's starting 4-man. And Timofey Mozgov is the team's starting center. Andre Miller is the team's backup point guard. But, who needs a strong, bulkier point guard like Andre Miller when you should need strong and fast point guards like Ty Lawson. Rudy Fernandez makes a good shooting guard to add in the backcourt. Corey Brewer is a good talent and addition to the Nuggets' rotation. He is a superb athlete who can get out and run. Al Harrington is a backup power forward whose role can help the team get points by running out on the break and scoring. Chris Andersen is the energy guy whose role is to help his team get rebounds, play defense, and block shots. There is no superstar on the Denver Nuggets and they are 6-4. Success. The Portland Trail Blazers have one of the better basketball squads in the NBA. They have Raymond Felton, a better-athletic point guard whose attitude is to help the Blazers win a basketball game. At shooting guard, they have Wesley Matthews and Jamal Crawford whose roles are to shoot the basketball. The Blazers have a good front court of Gerald Wallace, LaMarcus Aldridge, and Marcus Camby. This frontcourt can do a good job of defending the paint and playing defense, all the while as Aldridge's offense will help the team get points in the paint. If I know the Trail Blazers and the Nuggets any better, they have reached success because you do not need a true basketball star to win basketball games. You do not need to reach for success if you do need a basketball star to win a basketball game. Success is relative and I like how the Blazers and Nuggets are winning ball games. The Blazers are 6-2 as the Nuggets are 6-4.

Chicago Bulls 2011-2012

What an exciting NBA season! The Bulls got Richard Hamilton. Chicago needed a shooting guard with some height to help Derrick Rose out. Rose is a clutch player who can shoot and score in the closing moments of a big game. He has the ability to lead a team down the stretch and help the Bulls win a game. With Richard Hamilton now, the Bulls have a potent scorer who knows how to roll off screens and shoot jumpers. They are 4-1 now. I expect the Bulls to have a great season, not a perfect season. I hope the Bulls do well this season, because they have a complementary shooting guard to help Derrick Rose do his job and advance further in the playoffs so the Bulls can win an NBA championship.
