Stein's power rankings

[JT123]

He has the Miami Heat ranked at 15, which I think sounds about right. Some of his other rankings are way off though. OKC should probably be 2nd, yet they are behind the Bulls and Clippers?

Good list


OP: Still having Brooks and Perkins while adding nothing, good job OKC

I'm a Bulls fan, but I'd still go:

1) San Antonio Snores
2) Cleveland Kings Landing
3) OKC Tantrums
4) Chicago Muscle Memories
5) Houston Homeless

Because they're mediocre outside of Durant and Westbrook.

Who sits on the Iron Throne? Is Leonard allowed in the throne room?

Pretty solid list. I think Bulls should be ahead of Cavs though.

With Rose back and the addition of Pau they should be the favorites in the East.

Bulls have far more question marks than Cleveland do. They need Rose at 2011 form at the very least.

Honestly speaking, I think you're wrong on both those parts.



Cleveland has more question marks to me. They have a brand new team, brand new identity, rookie head coach, and expectations now. The Bulls have the same core group of guys, the best coach in the conference, and added depth at important positions.

And I don't believe Rose has to return to 2011 form for the Bulls to succeed in their quest for a championship. They have added vital pieces to the team that should be able to take off the pressure of scoring for Rose. And added a guy with important Finals experience for the team.

If they stay healthy for sure, I can't believe they got them at 21 they are easily one of the best 16 teams imo.

Hopefully Gallo returns strong and Mozgov keeps improving (really hope they don't put McGee over him). They are literally 2 deep at every position with guys who are starters in the NBA.

Did you happen to watch Rose play this summer?
