2014 - 2015 CSL Power Rankings (2nd Edition)

Want to point out two things,

I bet for CHI for the ECChamp, which is still a risky bet, but would even bet for the finals champ
and that SS isn't happy with WAS surprising start

Would have loved to read them. Good work.

A lot of surprising teams and still unsure as to why the Heat have dropped so much.  An active GM would help them out big time since OP really got them on track with strats so obviously the roster should work.

Not sure we deserve the 3rd overall spot just yet since we have played more games at home than away so far, but I'm hoping that we can keep it up and continue to play all-around good defense.

Haha, even the agencies are getting in on the commenting.

I'll admit, it's interesting.

1. Your starting C is shooting 44.1% - which is terrible.
2. You're starting Jan Vesley at SF who is shooting 33.3% from the field.
2. Jordan Crawford is shooting 37.9% as your starting shooting guard.
4. So far, you've won against PHI (3-7), MIL (6-7), TOR (0-11), ORL (4-7), DEN (8-4), CHA (6-6), MIA (6-5) which means that the combined winning % of teams you've beaten is 41.2%, so a little less than challenging.

This is why I'm perplexed.

If you hope to retain your starting point guard, you'd better come correct. Wall knows how much value he's adding to your organization.

I was the only one who though about him to show my team the way to success but it's not individual performances what has led us to this start.

Washington shouldnt end up Top 10. JV still needs pref work and Crawford and vesely even wouldnt Start for Boston or Sacramento

In Boston could be a starter even Victor Claver or German Gabriel... so be more respectfull to me and my players.

Come on, where is some love for Noel? He had a career rebounding night (19) against a pretty decent center there in Atlanta.

I like what I'm seeing from my three young guns in Giannis, Wiggins and Noel.

Great job as always man!

You can always save the image and then see it at your mobile photo gallery.

Lots of movement early on in this rankings, specially in the top places!
It really makes it very interesting, love that there's too many teams looking for the first spots this season

Also great to see the Knicks keep going up. We have extremely good teams ahead, but we're willing to keep going up, although it won't be easy, since there's also some great team under us that could improve.

Great work SS!! as always

Crazy to see what's happening with Miami given they have basically the same roster when OP was here. I'm sure they will turn it around and start ascending the rankings.

You guys are making me look bad with all these league articles, I've got to find some time to do a league overview.

This is amazing SS, keep it up. I completely agree with you Cousins is carrying us right now, Smith and Parker have terrible chemistry and it's holding us back some in my opinion. As for CHI I called it (https://csleague.forumotion.com/t17p270-trade-chatter#3035), they are going to be a tough matchup for all of us in the East. 

POR, OKC, IND, CHA, MIA will end up higher then they are and I doubt LAC makes the playoffs.

Let's not go overboard, they don't have Tyson Chandler Pau Gasol or Tiago Splitter, they now have Zach Randolph and Rudy Gobert replacing those guys and added Monta Ellis to the mix. They're a different team.

We won 4 of our last 5, and we dropped a spot. That just goes to show you how good the top of the league really is right now. It's wiiiiide open.

As far as the Heat go, even if OP created the team, it's nothing like the team that won the Finals the last two years. He went overboard by trading Tyson for Randolph (imo) and lost Gasol. Even if OP was still in charge, I'm not convinced they'd be at the top of this list.

I expected the drop a bit, been playing pretty inconsistent lately. Can't wait for DeMar to come back though.

Yep, L is wide open as of now and I don't expect a significant change until TR's are lifted then whoever makes the right move or non move'll clear things up much more.

I'm just waiting for the Spurs to start surging in the SW division but the title is up for grabs, as soon as Chicago looked very very strong the Pacers switch LeBron to PG and he completely nullified Rose just like irl. I wonder how Rubio would do if James played PG for the Pacers in their matchup tonite?

Please dont forget Rose is/was injured and at ~80-85%.....

And the Pacers have numerous injuries also, just pointing that out.

yeah I know, but you said...

Willy wrote:he (LeBron) completely nullified Rose just like irl

Isnt that hard if your opponent is at 80%. Wasnt talking about the rest of the team.
Seems nobody noticed Rose was playing through injury. Thats why I said it.

Utah ahead of us after we just blew them out on our home court? More fuel for the fire!

In the last sim, we had five injured players, including two starters, plus Greg Stiemsma was accidentally left off the depth chart by the simmer. Our bench rotation in that game was BJ Young, Mouhammadou Jaiteh, TJ Warren, and Aaron Craft.
