I totally agree, I mean it's not like they lost Lebron this Summer... Oh, wait.

Actually, Lebron did leave Miami. He returned to Cleveland.

Yea I didn't want to give any satisfaction to the joke so I ruined it by stating the obvious.

Sixers too strong :P.

It's not factoring injuries. Healthy Joel Embiid would change a lot.

[JKSportsGamer1984]

Washington is pretty strong bruh...

Bro I'm from D.C. & I'm saying they're not the 6th best team lol. They are improved & they're coming on but they got exposed by Indiana in the playoffs last year. They have show & prove 1st lol. There are 3 or 4 teams below them from the west that are better.

WEST
San Antonio - 18.25
Oklahoma City - 16
L.A. Clippers - 16
Golden State - 12.5
Portland - 10.25
Houston - 10
Memphis - 9.875
Phoenix - 8.5
Sacramento - 8.375 - Way too HIGH
Dallas - 8.25
New Orleans - 8
L.A. Lakers - 6.875
Denver - 6.25 - Way too LOW
Minnesota - 4.875
Utah - 3.25

Kings are a lottery team, lost Isaiah Thomas, yet are rated above Mavs.
Nuggets were 3rd in 2013 with a healthy team + Iguodala. Gallinari/McGee healthy + brought in Afflalo. No way they are 13th in West.

EAST
Cleveland - 18
Chicago - 14.75
Washington - 12.75
Toronto - 10.125
Charlotte - 10
Indiana - 9.625
Detroit - 9.375 - Way too HIGH
Miami - 8.25 - Way too LOW
Atlanta - 8.25
Brooklyn - 7.625
Boston - 7
New York - 6.875
Orlando - 5
Philadelphia - 4.5
Milwaukee - 3.5

Miami (Bosh, Wade, Deng) is still better than Charlotte (Jefferson, Kemba, Lance)

Detroit brought in Jodie Meeks, Caron Butler, and D.J. Augustin. Depth was weak last year but I'm not really seeing how this pushes them ahead of Hawks/Nets/Knicks, much less Miami.

I still think it's a stretch to say they're 17th though...

Re: NBA 2K15 Team Power Rankings (OS Computer Rankings)

My Nuggets that low?

Lawson
Afflalo
Gallinari
Faried
McGee

Give us credit man!

[x LuvMESumME x]

10 for my Charlotte Hornets 8 spots above the Heat I'll take that seems pretty accurate to me.

Washington and Chicago over Golden State? lol

Washington and Chicago are arguably more complete teams than Golden State. All 3 are truly solid squads though.

No they're not. Golden State is much more talented.

Curry
Thompson
Iggy
Lee
Bogut

One of the best starting fives in the league, and they have a top 3 defense. They're a tier above the Bulls and Wizards. Put them in the East and they would make the Finals imo.

I prefer the spreadsheet in this thread. Why? Because you can see the average team ratings, as well as how deep teams are based on the average player rating.

From there, it's quite simple to rank the teams based on easiness to play with.


Tier 1 (Teams with average rating above 75 w 7+ man rotation)

• San Antonio Spurs
• Chicago Bulls
• Indiana Pacers
• Phoenix Suns
• Cleveland Cavaliers
• Dallas Mavericks
• Denver Nuggets
• Golden State Warriors
• Los Angeles Clippers
• Los Angeles Lakers
• Memphis Grizzlies
• Toronto Raptors
• Miami Heat

Tier 2 (Teams with average rating above 75 w or w/o 6+ man rotation, and lower rated teams w 6+ man rotation)

• Washington Wizards
• Brooklyn Nets
• Charlotte Hornets
• Oklahoma City Thunder
• Sacramento Kings
• Boston Celtics
• Minnesota Timberwolves
• New York Knicks
• Portland Trail Blazers
• Detroit Pistons
• Milwaukee Bucks
• New Orleans Pelicans

Tier 3 (Teams w no bench, and an average rating below 75)

• Houston Rockets
• Utah Jazz
• Orlando Magic
• Philadelphia 76ers

Here's how I have the teams ranked based on a makeshift formula:

1. San Antonio Spurs
2. Chicago Bulls
3. Indiana Pacers
4. Phoenix Suns
5. Los Angeles Clippers
6. Cleveland Cavaliers
7. Golden State Warriors
8. Los Angeles Lakers
9. Memphis Grizzlies
10. Denver Nuggets
11. Toronto Raptors
12. Dallas Mavericks
13. Washington Wizards
14. Miami Heat
15. Boston Celtics
16. Portland Trail Blazers
17. New York Knicks
18. Minnesota Timberwolves
19. Charlotte Hornets
20. Brooklyn Nets
21. Oklahoma City Thunder
22. New Orleans Pelicans
23. Detroit Pistons
24. Milwaukee Bucks
25. Sacramento Kings
26. Atlanta Hawks
27. Houston Rockets
28. Utah Jazz
29. Orlando Magic
30. Philadelphia 76ers

You're really going to have to break out the cheese plays for the lesser teams on the pole. The margin for error is much lower for the higher teams, due to the overall depth these teams feature.

Hahaha alright, whatever you say bud. I'll give you the Wizards, but not the Bulls. Yeah I'm from Chicago and they're my team, but this is completely objective and unbiased. In a 7 game series, the Bulls beat the Warriors due to bench depth and a superior frontcourt. I could go on all day about the two teams, but right now the Bulls are a better squad on paper then the Warriors and they wouldn't be able to get past the Cavs either so there's no way they make the Finals. Sorry.

Re: NBA 2K15 Team Power Rankings (OS Computer Rankings)

Sorry that list is a joke. Sixers are clearly the worst Team and Dallas 17??? They are clearly a Top5 Team.
