As a Lakers fan, I’ll take our slot at 10, as that is higher than what they’ve shown on the court so far. Suns fans will no doubt bemoan them being slotted beneath us, when they beat us pretty soundly already.

Still, we are missing 4 key rotation players, and LeBron may be out the next couple of games. Fortunately, our schedule should allow for us to start 12-5/11-6 (at worst) through December 1. By that time, we should get back THT and Ellington, as well as maybe Nunn. Our team will look a lot stronger by then!

Head-to-head results are not absolutes in my Rankings ... ESPECIALLY at this early juncture of the season. But I agree with some of what you're saying: I certainly could have been tougher on the Lakers.

Marc on his Cavs Power Ranking:

“Cleveland—THIS IS FOR YOUUUU!!!” 🙌🏽

Might be the high water-mark on Cleveland’s season, but their fans will definitely take it, as they have looked impressive so far. Mobley also looks legit. I wouldn’t discount him in the ROY race either.

It would be nice if we get an ROY race with 3-4 contenders. This rookie class looks capable of that

Two games in a row, I have seen energetic, inspired, hustling basketball. Kevin Love! Lauri! Rubio! More organized and a problem right now, especially with size.

I gave the Cavs no chance of beating your Hawks and even less of a shot to win in Denver. Two special wins ...
