The Athletic’s NBA Power Rankings Week 14: Roller coaster of a season


Last week, one of the commenters here on The Athletic accused me of purposefully placing a team too high in order to drum up interest in some click bait effort to drive Power Rankings fervor. While I appreciate the confidence in my intelligence when it comes to being devious or deceptive, I’m not even smart enough to have considered that thought the last season and a half while doing these Power Rankings. Teams get placed solely off an internal system I have going throughout the week, and the criteria for certain teams changes often. I like to go with the flow of the season and try to weigh the short-term with the long-term.

Some teams jump up because they’ve caught my eye more than others during a particular stretch. Some teams don’t move much at all because I feel they’ve either hit their ceiling or their floor for the rest of the season. Admittedly, it does feel like this season has been a bit of a roller coaster for teams 3-11 and then like 14-20.
