As of last night's games, every team in the NBA is "connected". So, Jeff Sagarin's ratings are now a decent reflection of how well teams have played so far (in an admittedly very tiny sample size). Power rankings according to Sagarin ratings (predictor in parentheses):

 

1. Los Angeles Lakers (2)

2. Miami Heat (1)

3. Denver Nuggets (3)

4. Orlando Magic (4)

5. New Orleans Hornets (8)

6. Atlanta Hawks (9)

7. Portland Trail Blazers (5)

8. Phoenix Suns (6)

9. Boston Celtics (7)

10. San Antonio Spurs (11)

11. Utah Jazz (12)

12. Dallas Mavericks (10)

13. Chicago Bulls (16)

14. Memphis Grizzlies (17)

15. Houston Rockets (13)

16. Oklahoma City Thunder (21)

17. Indiana Pacers (18)

18. New York Knicks (14)

19. Golden State Warriors (20)

20. Sacramento Kings (22)

21. Toronto Raptors (15)

22. Milwaukee Bucks (19)

23. Cleveland Cavaliers (23)

24. Washington Wizards (26)

25. Philadelphia 76ers (24)

26. Charlotte Bobcats (25)

27. New Jersey Nets (29)

28. Detroit Pistons (27)

29. Minnesota Timberwolves (28)

30. Los Angeles Clippers (30)

 

Thoughts:

- The Central Division is bad this year, probably the worst in the NBA.

- The East has 5 playoff worthy teams in the early going (Miami/Orlando/Atlanta/Boston/Chicago)...and the West has 11 (Lakers/Denver/New Orleans/Portland/Phoenix/San Antonio/Utah/Dallas/Memphis/Houston/Oklahoma City).

- Even 3 games in, LA and Miami are the clear top of the pack.

Tonight's Knicks/Magic game has been postponed because of asbestos concerns at MSG. Maybe the Hawks will fire up some mesothelioma lawsuits after last nights game.

I was there last night. Am I going to die?

Yeah, Durant is 6-10 and completely unstoppable at the rim. The only player more talented at driving to the hoop...is LeBron James. So it makes sense why they both go to the line so often.

 

Sacramento is one lazy ass defensive team and very sloppy on offense. Francisco Garcia thinks he's Steve Nash.

 

And Durant's FT% is so good there is no reason for him not to drive to the hoop as often as possible.

Sweet, at least they'll have something to gain from their trip to NY.

John Wall is going to be a pretty good player.

Charlie Villanueva tweeted that KG called him a cancer patient in last night's Celtics/Pistons game.

Par for the course.

MICHAEL WOULDN'T DO THAT!!!!!!

[SpongeWorthy]

Maybe Paul Pierce can fake having cancer so KG will learn to empathize.

That's why he can't grow facial hair.

[expletive] i have cancer

[ELCABALLO45]

I feel stupid to not of known that Jennings and Rondo went to the same high school.

[ELCABALLO45]

Whatever two of Magic-Heat-Celtics end up in the East Finals. Its gonna be a awesome series.

[17 Seconds]

but he does look like a cancer patient

[ELCABALLO45]

I guess KG said he did not say that and he said

 

"You are cancerous to your team and our league'"

 

KG is a d-bag but even I don't think he's that stupid to actually call Charlie V. that.

[ELCABALLO45]

The Magic are up 90-56 on the T-Wolves halfway through the 3rd.

[ELCABALLO45]

Who in the world is this awkward looking white guy for the Celtics?

[ELCABALLO45]

I love how confused NBA players get when they actually get called for traveling

[17 Seconds]

[ELCABALLO45]

Ray Allen is so smooth
