We’re in the final third of the NBA season, and it’s time to unveil our Power Rankings. Our plan is to “drop” these rankings every Monday afternoon. While I don’t expect a lot of movement in the bottom teams, I suspect one or more of the mid-rank squads will make a rush to the post-season [My guesses: Miami & Denver].
Similarly there will be fallout from the seemingly playoff-bound teams [Indiana & OKC?].
More weight is granted to recent play rather than seasonal records, and I also pay a lot of attention to a team’s injuries. The effects of trades are impossible to predict, but we’ll try anyway.
