In our first installment of NBA Power Rankings for the 2016-17 season, we breakdown each NBA team after the first week of the season

No more summer league, no more preseason and no more meaningless predictions that won’t matter in roughly two weeks. While hot-taking is fun, and somewhat necessary in the dog days of July and August, there’s no question that it’s much better to turn on the TV and watch the best sport the world has to offer.

The other great part about the beginning of the season, is that every team has hope. At least for a while.
