Im sorry but how is it even remotely reasonable to have like the warriors over the magic. This seems like so much cope trying not to seem wrong about your preseason predictions.
The problem with this is that some of the rankings appear to be based on what a team has done thus far, and others on future potential. Even the tier names suggest this.
There’s no possible world in which the 10-7 Lakers are the fourth best team of the last month (or the Clippers are 12th) and the 12-5 Magic are in the teens. Now, if you want to say the Clippers and Lakers would beat the Magic in a playoff series: OK, sure. That’s more realistic. But that’s not what KOC says this is.
It is a power ranking. I do believe that its based on expected performances in the playoffs.
