[Observations] Early Surprises

at maximum speed, in rapid succession.

Kobe Bryant is wearing a black mamba costume under his shorts this year. Find out why in Part II of Bill Simmons' enjoyable NBA Preview.
The Hornets, Jazz, and Clippers are in 1st place in their respective divisions, surprising everyone except ESPN.com's Chris Sheridan. The Hornets are actually in a 4-way tie, but winning 2 out of the first 3 games is still fun for a team that is widely expected to finish last in the conference.
Marcus Camby hasn't missed a game.
Chris Duhon is averaging 11 assists per game.
Mark Cuban used his blog to go after the TNT Inside the NBA studio last week. This actually isn't too surprising--Cuban has taken aim at a lot of targets in the past through his blog, like Google, referees, Donald Trump, and the NBA schedule-makers. The fact that the best coverage of the spat is available on the NBA's official web site seems a little strange, though.
