OK, who had the No. 3 Knicks starting 3-0, the No. 15 Thunder and No. 20 Celtics falling on their faces and the No. 24 Lakers going into the toilet?
Not me. On the other hand, here at the World’s Greatest NBA Rankings (According to Us) we don’t just rank teams, we provide solutions to their problems!

The Lakers are so unbalanced, they could tip over, starting the tallest, most skilled lineup in ball, but also its oldest and slowest.

Brian says
Toronto is 1-3.
