My NBA Power Rankings - Ongoing (merged)

[blitzology]

Last week Sac was 10 and the Lakers were 11? Haha.

The Lakers were at 6-3 by that time, and kings were at 5-3. The Lakers last two wins that week were against Toronto and Memphis - so they didn't gain many points off of those wins. Kings also beat Memphis and Toronto not much earlier, but they were rated a bit higher then, so Sac gained some more points.

Updated Power Rankings 12-1-06

I didn't spend time giving some interesting notes about the team's improvements and non-improvements as I did last weak - and I didn't calculate each division/conference average this time around.

I was simply too lazy after a big loss to DAL

Well, Dallas takes over the #1 spot with Utah dropping all the way to #4. These ratings have shown that when a team rated/ranked high, just a couple of losses can dethrone them quickly. S Antonio dropped to #9, which really has me questioning the credibility of these ratings. I think Toronto made the most drastic rank improvement, jumping to #16, and being the #1 rated in the Atlantic Division. Orlando keeps playing top-notch. Nice winning streaks from Phoenix and Detroit has given them a bit of a jump. Again, most of the top half consists of mostly Western Conference teams. Sacramento only drops down 1 spot, but improves their rating +22 points. At one point they were rated higher than the Spurs.

I hope that that point wasn't in the last 2 years

I hope that that point wasn't in the last 2 years

Actually, it was before SAC lost to DAL. SAC was at 1673 while SA was at 1671

On 11-27-06 SA was 1693, SAC at 1653. SAC wins on 11-28, SA doesn't play, SAC jumps to 1673, SA still at 1693. 11-29-06, SAC doesn't play stays at 1673, SA plays and loses to UTA, drop down to 1671.
