Mavs above Cavs is absolutely insane. I get that Luka a better #1 than Don, which is more relevant for playoffs, but Mavs defense is porous at best.

It’s too bad because these rankings are definitely super important.
Just across the board terrible rankings. The Ringer is shit. The Bucks are 1-5 in their last 6 games and they moved up a spot.
This is not a power ranking it’s this morons prediction for what he believes are the best teams regardless of what happens on the court.
> Luka Doncic is arguably the MVP this season
No, he is not? I mean his numbers are impressive but they’re also the 8th seed right now.
I noticed this today too.. what a joke. If you want a real good laugh, check out the player trade value rankings Bill Simmons posted this week. Not that any of this stuff matters..
Who cares
The media has never won anyone a basketball game
And several posters here have more bball knowledge than Bill Simmons or KOC
Power rankings mean zippy. I love that we’re on no one’s radar.
NYK, OKC, and Minnesota haven’t done shit but they are in the tier above us. Make it make sense. It would be one thing if they had a history of recent success but they don’t. The team playing the best basketball in the NBA should be ranked above them.
Bill hates Cleveland, I don’t know how u guys can take anything his site publishes seriously. He has an inherent bias against Cleveland
I cant stand that dude. He has the most boring podcast
I have always felt The Ringer intentionally offers contrarian rankings to drive engagement. They purposefully put bullshit like this in their rankings to get people pissed enough to post about it on Twitter and drive clicks.
Seeing Pistons at 30 already tells me they don’t follow the NBA
Guys, who cares
Kevin O’hater
Until the Cavs win a playoff series and smack one of Boston, Milwaukee, Phila, or NY in a seven game series, the media won’t give a shit about us.
Bill is REALLY taking shots at us, man. I wish I knew what his fking problem is.
This is the same website that said we had the #29th best “young core” 3 years ago.
ESPN power rankings
1 Celtics
2 Clippers
3 Nuggets
4 Thunder
5 Cavs
13 Mavs
Ringer just posting rage bait for clicks.
The ringer had Tom Brady as a top qb all this current nfl season. That should invalidate all their opinions.
We may win it all and they are still gonna be talking about how the Lakers could trade for Donovan now that he won
