Here is my version of the current Power Rankings >50: Contender 0-50: Pretender <0: No Hope Observations- It's not only about the Breakers: The Charles Barkleys are ranked just below the Breakers. It's shaping up to be an interesting 2nd half of the season, and it will probably come down to these two teams for top spot. - Globetrotters are rising, Boca Juniors and Raptors are falling: Looking at the Globetrotters roster, it is a bit of a surprise to see them doing this well. The analytics support their results, however, so for now I have to give them credit. On the flip side, the Raptors and Boca Juniors are falling from the Contender range to the Pretender range. The Raptors fall is not as much of a surprise, as it did seem they were over-achieving. The Boca Juniors, however, have the fire power to bounce back. - Franca BC is over-achieving, the Jazz are under-achieving: Franca BC is ranked 17th in win %, but 28th in the Power Poll. They are only 2.5 games out of a playoff spot, but I don't even have them as pretenders and instead see them having no hope. Meanwhile the Jazz are ranked 25th in win %, but 16th in the Power Poll. They are 9 games below .500 but have the talent (with a guy like Tony Parker, and decent support in Richardson and Finley) to make a late-season push. - Are the Celtics actually the worst?: They're last in wins, but 3rd last in the Power Poll. After starting the season 6-34, they're 3-4 in the last 7. Maybe the more recent trend could be expected going forward, and perhaps they can push themselves out of the bottom 3

Interesting. How d you come up with these? Care to share? Its a secret formula based on team stats. But I can say that it favours teams that are efficient on offence and protect/recover the ball well.

Eh it's a chart, can't say I'm impressed with either. Like the effort, even if it doesn't seem overly in depth to describe
