I'm going to go with the Bucks, because you have to look at the teams they beat.

Philadelphia, i'll give them that. They took advantage of the NETS' mistakes when they should have been down and out, and beat them. And then they beat a Shaq-less Miami which is still a great accomplishment if Miami is supposed to be the elite team everyone claims they are.

Plus TJ Ford has really impressed. That FG% needs to rise, but props to him.

I picked the Clippers. and by the way , D_up , the NETS aren't that good man .Right now they are highly overrated because they have Kidd , Carter , RJ . Thats a nice combo but that doesn't make them a good team .Least surprising is the Pistons to be 3-0 .

I'd go with the Clippers. They haven't had Maggette at all this season.

That might just be the key to them being 3-0, you never know.. :wink:
Obviously the Bucks and the Clippers are most surprising out of these 4, but that's only based on recent years' success. If you look at their off-seasons, it's not that weird to see them still being undefeated. Don't know who to pick out of those two teams though, let's see who stays undefeated the longest.

Biggest surprise so far is the Bobcats.

Bucks are close, they're 3-0 and beat the Heat but that team almost has nothing in common with last year's team other than Redd. Clips are playing well too, but Brand is always an All-Star and they added 2 proven guards in their backcourt now, Cuttino & Cassell.

Bobcats are still a bunch of rookies, they're 2-1 with wins over Philly and Celts, and took Chicago to OT. And the Cats are led by...Gerald Wallace? I love these guys, it's like watching a college All-Star team embarass these NBA teams.

clippers for me, bucks i expected to do a little good. They had a pretty good off season. Then again bucks did beat Miami and without shaq heat are still good

clippers. when they went 2-0 it was the first time in 15 years they've ever pulled off something like that off. milwaukee's a surprise too.. i didnt really think TJ ford was THAT important until this past week.. the guy's an awesome creator.

I think clippers are the most surprising they had a pretty good group of players around 2002 but never made the playoffs so thats a good start but the continuation has to come.

Bucks for me, they are gonna have a really good season, Redd and Ford are playing really good

They actually shouldve been 3-0 right now, and they didnt take Chicago to OT, Chicago took them to OT.

Clipps. (Y)
I thought Cassell was going to bring this team down but he's leading the young Clipps in winning.

They've dropped a game now, but the Clippers were the team whose start surprised me the most. Yes, they made a couple of good moves in the offseason but they're still the LA Clippers, the NBA's example of a team that almost makes the notion of supernatural forces and curses surrounding professional sports sound plausible.

The bucks are definitely the most impressive, they got some new faces, and they are already showing much improvement form last season
