how the hell are we still ranked FOURTH???? media conspiracy http://www.nba.com/powerrankings/2017-18-week-13#/
http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...ngs-our-expert-panel-unveils-rankings-week-15 #2 on ESPN. How in the blue hell is Cleveland still at #8?!
If the playoffs started today, the Cavs would face the Pacers. I'd pick Cleveland in that series, but that would not be an easy matchup with the way they're playing. And if they did make it to the 2nd round, the Raptors would beat them.
Cavs will inevitably reel off a win streak against a bunch of subpar teams, which will enhance Lebron's MVP #narrative that he pulled his team back when it looked like they were dead in the water. This is all going according to plan for the media...
The Rockets are 31-8 with Clint Capela in the lineup and just 1-4 without their big man. Capela ranks sixth in the NBA in player efficiency rating. Each of the five players ranked ahead of him were named All-Star starters last week. -- Micah Adams Rocket River
Probably because of that loss to the Clippers last Monday and the way some Rockets players handled it.
