The pictures are who he is pointing at as the catalyst for the wins, I believe.

Atlanta Hawks -This team should be fighting for the top pick in this year's draft not for a playoff spot. The Thornton-Ross combo is off to a hot start with a combined 36.2 points, 6.8 rebounds and 4.7 assists. Coach Mike Bud's has created a replica of the Spurs system and his young guys are delivering.
Houston Rockets - They are the hottest team in the first few weeks of the season. Racking up 17 (or 16?) straight wins in the process. One of the biggest surprise is the career-defining performance of Rudy Gay who puts up 22.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists in November. With the addition of Kevin Love and Tyson Chandler, this team should be prime to take the top spot in the West.
Dallas Mavericks - Dirk Nowitzki is making a huge statement this season, he wants one more ring! For a 36 years old to average 29.5 points, 8.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.3 blocks is beyond comprehension.And with Rondo showing that he can score, this team is becoming unstoppable.
Minnesota Timberwolves - Walt wants to tank but his players want to win now. Kevin Love and Tyson Chandler push the Timberwolves as high as they can before they are trade and the young core of Derrick Favors, Nicolas Batum, Victor Oladipo and Ricky Rubio has the capability of continuing it. And by playing a very fast pace system, each one of them can thrive.

I've only played two games since the trade went through. We are 1-1

Seems like Dirk has been doing that every single year in this league though. Maybe the best sim player ever.

Oh crap, I took it as in real life. I was like, "why is he posting a picture of Oladipo, but saying Minnesota in the title."
