Breaking down the biggest storyline for each team as the second half of the 2017-18 NBA season gets underway

We’re officially midway through the 2017-18 NBA season. Thus far, there have been a number of interesting storylines, even a few that we couldn’t have predicted prior to the start of the season.

To name a few, the Boston Celtics haven’t missed a beat without Gordon Hayward, the Cleveland Cavaliers look as vulnerable as they’ve ever looked and the Houston Rockets – with the addition of Chris Paul – look like a formidable opponent for the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference.

Jayson Tatum looks like a seasoned all-star, Ben Simmons is all we expected – and then some, and Kyle Kuzma has been the best rookie of the Los Angeles Lakers, including Lonzo Ball. Who could’ve seen that coming?

Oh, and that’s just the first half of the NBA season.

As the NBA season turns to its second half, we breakdown the biggest storyline for each team heading into the stretch run of the season.
