The unofficial first quarter of the season is officially in the books! Through the first seven weeks of the season, we’ve seen teams separate themselves as dominant, others separate themselves as sad, and plenty of epic games and performances.

Another classic MVP race is brewing while Wemby vs. Bam, Duren vs. Avdija, Jaquez vs. Sheppard, Spoelstra vs. Darko highlight the other ones. We also give out an Emmy.

For a while, critics accused NBA teams of playing the same way. And, for a while, they were mostly right. Teams are now winning in differentiated ways.

Handing out Lead Actor, Most Valuable Narrative, Original Script, Franchise Reboot, Special Effects and more.

The Spurs' chances of mounting a comeback, what the Knicks can do better, the Towns/Wemby question, how the Knicks can play better, and whether they'll be considered a potential dynasty if they win.
