Jason Timpf shares his top ten teams during an NBA power rankings segment including LeBron James’ Los Angeles Lakers, Jalen Brunson’s New York Knicks shooting up the list, and James Harden’s Los Angeles Clippers returning to the rankings. Jason also discusses whether Shai Gilgeos-Alexander’s Oklahoma City Thunder or Donovan Mitchell’s Cleveland Cavaliers are the number one team in the league, Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics’ up-and-down play, as well as how the Dallas Mavericks have proved to be a competitive team even without Luka Doncic.

Sixers on the fakest run ever
Bucks dropped out of the top 10???
Lakers at 8th is 😂😂😂😂. Should be more like 15th.
These rankings completely ignore current standings… I really hate how betting odds are affecting peoples minds.
Lakers is not 8th 😂 you lakers shill
LA over nuggets?
Nuggets?
Surprised didn’t cover all the injuries grizzlies have. Thunder game wasn’t a great game to look at, since majority of the grizzlies roster was injured.
John Konchar started it… which shows how injured they were.
Bucks > lakers
Would be cool to post the team name in the corner with their rank # as u break said team down. Sometimes I’m doing things and I miss the team and I’m like,… ok, who is he talking about?😂
Lakers over nuggets is crazy
Bro you dont need to ask for Subscribers or Likes if your product is fire. Matthew McConaughey
Lakers at 8th lmao okay dude
Nuggets not top 10 😂
clicked on this to hear someone talk about the best team in the NBA and you talked about the Cavs for like 10 seconds😂😂. remember when this dude said at the beginning of the year the Warriors were more of a threat in the playoffs than the Cavs?
Lakers over nuggets 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀😂
Just a comment/critique of your ranking videos. I don't get why you tend to talk about number 10 for 25-30 percent of the video. Number 5 and 6 about as long, then the top two or three teams get like 1 1/2 minutes. Makes no sense.
Nuggets are the warriors of last year.
Bro says “adversity is good for a basketball team or player.” Lebron dipped out on the team as soon as he had any adversity 3 different times.
Until the Cavs and the Thunder play each other you're just flipping a coin for who is first .
Gonna wait til April to judge LAL. These power rankings are decent tho. I wonder if Cleveland is ready to make a run this year. don’t sleep on Boston And Denver out west is scary regardless of rank
Thunder beat up a completely injured grizzlies. They have 5 main roster guys all out including Ja. Not exactly an elite win
Theres a 20 win team missing from the place where the lakers are 😅, they happen to be a better record than 2 of the teams on these rankings but vegas i guess
At this point I'm 100% sure he is either paid or this platform is just a long audition tape for him to get to clutch 😂😂.. how you put the lakers in the title with the knicks and put the lakers first is wild 😂😂. They are 8th in the west. I'm only coming here for pure laughs from now on
lakers lakers lakers blah blah
wait how are the Lakers ahead of Denver?i dont get this 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Julius randle being able to guard is hilarious
Mailbag:
Yo Jason, you’ve been pretty vocal abt your opinion that east is extremely weak. Early in the yr you pointed out how west teams were winning almost 60% of the h2h matchups. Now it’s just abt 50/50. So my question is have you reconsidered that opinion?
Especially bc:
1. the nba cup forces more same conference matchups early in the szn for group play. So most east v west games happen from here on out (we’re still looking at a relatively small sample)
2. There’s a possibility the top of the east is much better than the top of the west. That could make the other east teams look worse than they are n the mid west teams look better than they actually are
