The season is starting to wind down and its somehow becoming less clear to me who is really in control. The Heat go on losing streaks then follow those up with what appear to be their own version of perfect harmonious basketball. The Lakers got Bynum back just in time for him to get suspended as a result of an over zealous foul. The Bulls are still playing very well and with Joakim Noah back look to be championship worthy for the first time since Jordan left and finally my beloved Celtics look like they could be in trouble.
With all the trades right before the deadline most teams changed face completely. The Celtics specifically look like they have invested a lot of stock in the "we must win now" routine. Trading Kendrick Perkins could be a great move if they can get Shaq healthy but that could go awry considering his track record in the last few years. The Thunder however now have the inside force they needed to balance out their stellar perimeter play. Perk only puts up minimal numbers compared to the likes of Gasol, Bynum, and Howard but is among the best at the position for having a deterrent affect.
All in all it will be an exciting play-off season. The changes made and the performances lately have started to help clear the haze on the top 5 or 6 teams but now its just a matter of who will actually finish out the season on top.
