1st SCIC NBA Power Rankings

I promised them, here you go. Here is the 1st installment of the Sir Charles In Charge Power Rankings. For this one, I will simply order the teams from 1-30 with no explanation. I will explain some of my rankings on this week podcast, this Saturday. To me, the record is one of the things that doesn’t matter as much as people think.  For these rankings, I use the way the team has played and also the potential of the teams in the upcoming weeks. For some teams ( New York, Indiana) the upside to rise is higher then some teams at the bottom ( Sacramento, L.A. Clippers).
