NBA Power Rankings: Thunder, Clippers Fall; Hawks, Cavs Rise

In our latest edition of NBA Power Rankings, the Thunder and Clippers fall and the Hawks and Cavs see a rise 

Two weeks into the season, and it’s safe to say that we learned quite a bit. You’ll notice a few big jumps and drops throughout our rankings. That’s because we underrated some teams and overrated a couple – but after two weeks we’ve fixed those flaws.

Before getting to the power rankings, here are a few observations from the week that was in the NBA:

• The Warriors might not lose a game for a while.
• The Kings have shown talent, but have only 1 win to show for it.
• Kobe Bryant looks done.
• The Miami Heat are either going to be really good or really bad on any given night.
• The Atlanta Hawks are really good again, and no one is talking about them.
• James Harden looks back.
• We might’ve overrated Anthony Davis AND the New Orleans Pelicans.
• Please pay attention to the job that Stan Van Gundy is doing in Detroit.
• Yes, Andre Drummond just polished off another 20-20 game.

Those are just a few notes. But here is our entire NBA Power Rankings from week 3.
