Couple of things that stood out to me:
1. Best team of the first month of the season is ...
Golden State. What we're seeing over the Warriors' impressive start is an ability to consistently defend in key stretches of games. At times, their defense is as dominant as their lethal offense. And, by the way, despite the rhetoric in Cleveland and Washington, it should be obvious Steph Curry and Klay Thompson form the NBA's best backcourt.
3. Best coach of the first month of the season is ...
Jason Kidd. Who had Milwaukee coming out of Thanksgiving with a record of 9-7 and ranking fifth overall in defensive efficiency? No one I know. He's managing his young team well and, in addition to his work with Jabari and Giannis, appears to be reaching the rejuvenated Larry Sanders and O.J. Mayo. The Bucks and the Pacers are the East's pleasant surprises.
5. Best storyline of the first month of the season is ...
Mr. Boogie Cousins, who continues to show maturity and has helped the Kings be relevant for the first time in a decade. His two early matchups with Davis were enjoyable to watch. He has been a top-five player over the first month and is working on his first All-Star selection. Of course with Cousins you have to wait and see because he's forced us to be careful with him, but he's also earned praise.

Re: Best of the first month
You know a rookie class is underperforming when Steve Kerr is in 2nd place for best rookie so far.

Cousins not getting an All star appearance would be criminal
