    A five game losing streak and the WAY they lost is a gut wrencher. Comparing to other teams would not ease the pain we fans have now.

    And those same rankings have the two teams we are most likely to meet in the 1st round (LAC and SAS) ranked higher than us. Good thing we'll actually get to play the games and not rely on some nerd's computer simulations to tell us who would win.

    How many people actually put any credence in the ESPN power rankings?

    I don't, but this is a bot that is ever changing. Meaning, it holds no prejudice. The axioms maybe something you can argue, but nothing is done in this model that has an emotional attachment to it.

    I find them interesting, similar to the Basketball-Reference Playoff Probabilities Report, but ultimately the games are played on the hardwood, not on a computer.
