With the decade nearing it’s end, I think it is a good time to look back on some of the teams that we should remember from this era. This is part 1 of a longer series of posts where I will dive into, from a statistical perspective, some of the teams of the 2010’s that I find most fascinating. Though I became a more devoted NBA fan in the last few years, I will still try to give the entire decade its due.
I should note that I tended to choose teams who were at least moderately successful, although not all were champions or finalists. For some reason, good-but-not-great squads and awesome regular season teams which faltered in the playoffs seem to dominate this list. Still, some NBA champs will make the list; it is hard to talk about the 2010’s without some mention of LeBron James or the Golden State Warriors.
