Yes

Btw, I just updated the point differential rankings on the spreadsheet and the two of you need get wise to the frauds that are the Phoenix Suns. I've been saying it since last off-season, but the numbers confirm that they're completely phony.

We also might all need to start taking the Grizzlies and Magic more seriously.

I assume my list is closer to Undisciplined than GR.

Maybe the numbers show the Suns are frauds, but they are winning games, and wins are the one stat that counts towards making the playoffs or winning a championship (not saying the Suns will get anywhere near the finals). I also watched their win against the Lakers in late October and they looked pretty good. I did not dig up their numbers, and maybe the fact that they are winning so many games had me putting them too high. Let the season progress and let's see how they do. Maybe you turn out to be correct. Especially now that Durant is hurt, it will be a good test for the rest of the team.

I would probably rank the Grizzlies and Magic higher if Ja and Pablo weren't hurt. And yes, these young teams are fun to watch.

But yours is closer to mine in spirit with the Cavs number 1 and the Suns higher than they should be.

I'm sure all 3 lists have similarities and differences, but if the spirit lies in where the Cavs and Suns rank, instead of where the Knicks and Bucks should rank, then I guess our lists are quite similar in spirit.

Hard not to put a 13-0 undefeated team at number 1.

Yeah. I don't know what @Undisciplined was thinking.

I might have been thinking that they weren't 13-0. They play the Celtics on Tuesday, which will be a great test for them.

That will be a good game. Might lose to the Bulls tonight. I feel a let down game coming after such a hot start.

To be fair, Cavs were "only" 9-0 when you guys complied the list. Both Undisciplined and I both thought the Warriors were going to end their streak, I even had $5 on the Warriors, and boy were we wrong.

I'll see if I have time to catch the Cavs Bulls game tonight. Always fun to watch the Cavs play this season. Both Allen and Mobley are listed as day-to-day on their injury list, so them playing or not might change the outcome of this game. But I still think the Cavs will win; I've learned my lesson betting against them.
