10 players, teams and coaches with best chance to rewrite their history amid chaotic, unpredictable NBA season

These teams and players have broken through this season in a major way

An NBA general manager was breaking down the unusual and thus unpredictable nature of this NBA season and what to expect in the playoffs when he paused, then changed direction. "Everyone likes to tell the happy story of Isiah Thomas and the Pistons breaking through, of Michael Jordan doing it with the Bulls, of K.D. [Kevin Durant] when he finally broke through and won, when Steph [Curry] broke through," he said. "There's a less happy story of the Utah Jazz never doing it because of Jordan. Of that Sacramento Kings team. Of the recent Rockets team who couldn't get through. "The history of the league has been as much about those that never did it as those that got there."
