Welcome back to Small Sample Theatre, known to most as the NBA Power Rankings.
Last week, yours truly took a stab at sorting out the league after about a week and a half of meaningful games. This week...well, we've got another three or four games to go on when evaluating each team, so the situation remains fairly fluid.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are rising on the strength of their sheer offensive firepower. The New York Knicks, on the other hand, are sinking on account of their absence of the same.
It's still far too early to draw any sweeping conclusions about the Association, though. The Oklahoma City Thunder are figuring out how to survive without Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook...and Perry Jones and Andre Roberson and Mitch McGary. The Sacramento Kings started off hot but could be due for a drop-off in the weeks and months to come.
The list goes on and on. There's no telling how things will shake out as the 2014-15 season hits its collective stride. All we can do is try to stack all the squads against one another based on who they have now and what they've accomplished to this point.
Which is precisely what we'll do in these here rankings.
