Stacker Sports- Way too early and not too serious NBA Power Rankings

609 sats \ 15 comments \ @grayruby 7 Nov Stacker_Sports

Here are my way too early and not too serious (but somewhat serious) NBA Power Rankings.

Cleveland Cavaliers
OKC Thunder
Boston Celtics
Golden State Warriors
Phoenix Suns
Denver Nuggets
Dallas Mavericks
Sacramento Kings
Minnesota Timberwolves
Houston Rockets
Indiana Pacers
New York Knicks
Memphis Grizzlies
LA Lakers
Miami Heat
LA Clippers
Atlanta Hawks
Brooklyn Nets
Orlando Magic
San Antonio Spurs
Portland Trail Blazers
New Orleans Pelicans
Charlotte Hornets
Chicago Bulls
Detroit Pistons
Toronto Raptors
Washington Wizards
Utah Jazz
Milwaukee Bucks
Philadelphia 76ers

Even though they are both better than many many teams ahead of them I have put the Bucks and 76ers last for being disappointing shells of themselves and because I don't like the 76ers.

Thoughts? Any stackers want to share their list. Or even just best and worst.

Sats for all, GR

This is list is trash. The Knicks are better than the pacers!!

Haha tell us how you really feel?

Knicks might be a top 5 team, maybe even top 3 later in the year but they are still figuring it out early in the year.

It really bothers me you feel good about the pacers this season. Maybe I’m bitter because they eliminated a banged up Knicks team in the playoffs last season

The pacers hit a lucky deep three that keeps that series from going 3-0 Knicks.

I just don’t see it! Then again I don’t watch a lot of basketball.

I don’t really feel good about the Pacers. I like them because they are fun to watch and they played the Celtics really well last playoffs.

Memphis
Phoenix
Miami
Milwaukee
Atlanta
Orlando
Charlotte
San Antonio
Detroit 22, New Orleans
Utah
LAC
Philadelphia

Brooklyn
Chicago
Portland

This is very close to the order that teams came to mind, although I had to start working from the bottom up towards the end.

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar.

Phoenix is 7-1 and you have them 14th?

Bucks are 1-6 and you have them 16th?

I also find Minny to be a little high for right now but I expect they will be in the top 6 later in the year.

I haven't watched Phoenix, I don't believe in Phoenix, and I don't intend to watch Phoenix.

I would expect them to lose to the teams above them. They barely beat the Heat at home.

31 sats \ 5 replies \ @grayruby OP 7 Nov

I don't believe in them either but I have to give them credit. 7-1 is 7-1.

This should be a topic of discussion on the pod. Not phoenix specifically but the variance in our rankings for a few teams.

43 sats \ 4 replies \ @Undisciplined 7 Nov

That's fair, but I still think they're in the same tier as Miami and the Lakers.

If Phoenix plays Minnesota, do you expect Phoenix to win?

325 sats \ 3 replies \ @grayruby OP 7 Nov

Right now the way the two teams started, not sure. Later in the year probably Minny.

43 sats \ 2 replies \ @Undisciplined 7 Nov

To the extent I thought through my rankings, it was based on who I expect to win a hypothetical matchup.

13 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby OP 7 Nov

That’s a good way to look at it. I am sure some of mine would change if I did that. I definitely wouldn’t have Bucks second last.
