Daily Dime: Lakers and Hawks stay unbeaten
|
By J.A. Adande
ESPN.com Tuesday, November 11, 2008 Contrary to popular belief, the regular season does matter in the NBA, which is why we should pay close attention to the 6-0 starts by the Atlanta Hawks and Los Angeles Lakers. Don't say it's only November. Take note because it's November. The NBA's November is like Iowa and New Hampshire in the presidential primaries. Campaigns are made and/or broken by those two early states. (Has anyone ever provided a good explanation about why they play such a role in determining our presidents even though they only have 11 electoral votes between them and are incapable of generating news in the three non-election years?) Twice New Hampshire has delivered CPR to John McCain after he was pronounced dead. Iowa is where a Barack Obama presidency went from dream to possibility. Activate your ESPN Profile!
