- Top 6 teams are really close.
- Again I give more weight to more recent games.
- Bulls great defense gets no credit from the media.
- The 76ers appear to be a better team than the overhyped Knicks.
- Memphis gets no credit for being one of the league’s 10 best teams!
- Unfortunately Cavs are in a class by themselves.
