Yup. Easily off to the best start of any team in the West.
It'll be interesting to see whether they can keep it up. They've been using a short rotation, and Aldridge has been playing extremely heavy minutes. Those are the kinds of things that could catch up to them down the line.
Something that struck me in looking at the stats. They've gone from the slowest pace in the NBA last year to one of the fastest so far this year.
