FRSL 3.0 Season 1 Power Rankings (East) - Basketball Forum : Professional and College Basketball Forums

-=EAST=-

Indiana Pacers:

Pacers have the best front court in the league with D12/Bynum with Davis off the bench , along with a good PG in conley that pretty much insures we see the Pacers up there winning alot of games , their wings are all good 3p shooters wich is smart next to conley dwight and bynum I guss , but if I had to find a weakness in the Pacers team it would be their wing's deffence , teams with good scoring wings can take advantge Matthews/Green/Delfino.

Team Scores:
Scoring: B-
Offence efficency: A
Deffence: B-
Stealing: B+
Rebounding: B+
Blocking: B+
Ball Handeling: D-

Chicago Bulls:

When I look at the Bulls I see a very well built team around Kevin Durant , 2 deffensive bigs in Gortat and Taj Gibson , Eric Bledsoe wich is one of the best D PG's in the league , solid overall D around Durant , exept D-Williams wich I didn't understand gives them rebounding advantge , but their drive deffence on the wings is a big weakness come playoffs.

Team Scores:
Scoring: B
Offence efficency: B
Deffence: B
Stealing: D
Rebounding: D+
Blocking: B
Ball Handeling: D

Miami Heat:

Heat are a very well balanced team with good rebounding/blocking with an insane deffence like always , high scoring is a small weakness of this team along with the team beeing too big wich makes the ball movment madicore , but Jason Kidd makes sure this weakness stays small and not big.

Team Scores:
Scoring: D+
Offence efficency: B-
Deffence: A
Stealing: B+
Rebounding: A
Blocking: A
Ball Handeling: C+

Detroit Pistons:

Pistons are a well rounded team , good scoring , good blocking , good deffence , but below avg ball handling rebounding and stealing might set them back abit , overall I assume their mighty back court with Westbrook/Smith/Galo will win them some games.

Team Scores:
Scoring: B
Offence efficency: B-
Deffence: B
Stealing: C-
Rebounding: C
Blocking: B
Ball Handeling: C-

Philadelphia 76ers:

76'ers are not very balanced , they exsel in ball handeling and offence eff , wich means they will slice the best deffences in the league , their deffence is above avg as well , but their rebounding is just weak and will hurt them ALOT going into the season.

Team Scores:
Scoring: C
Offence efficency: A-
Deffence: B-
Stealing: C
Rebounding: D
Blocking: C-
Ball Handeling: A

Boston Celtics:

Scoring scoring and some more scoring , thats what the Celtics are all about this season with Harden Pierce and Ryan Anderson the Celtics will try to out score the enemy every game , I doubt they will , they will get crushed by high rebounding/blocking teams.

Team Scores:
Scoring: A
Offence efficency: C
Deffence: C-
Stealing: D
Rebounding: D
Blocking: C-
Ball Handeling: B

New York Knicks:

Knicks deff looks like a playoff team to me , very good deffence and stealing , above avg rebounding scoring and ball handeling , solid team all around , their offence efficency might prevent them from beeing an elite team , we'll see when season begins.

Team Scores:
Scoring: C+
Offence efficency: D+
Deffence: A-
Stealing: A-
Rebounding: B-
Blocking: C-
Ball Handeling: C+

Orlando Magic:

Magic are one of the best offensive teams in the east without a doubt , good scoring on good eff , good ballhandling , all the keys to make a great offence! (expected when you combine Kevin Martin and Curry together) , BUT their bad deffence and madicore stealing will make them lose some games , espically to teams who score alot like the Celtics.

Team Scores:
Scoring: B+
Offence efficency: B-
Deffence: D-
Stealing: D+
Rebounding: D+
Blocking: B-
Ball Handeling: B-

Brooklyn Nets:

Oh boy do I like the nets ? yes I do , very much even!! one of the most balanced teams in the east for sure , with good deffence , good stealing rebounding blocking and great ball handeling! their only weakness is their scoring , if they can fill that gap with a scoring bench , they might be golden! I see them winning alot of games this season , but their only scorer is Rose , they will lose to teams who can deffend Rose well.

Team Scores:
Scoring: D
Offence efficency: C-
Deffence: B-
Stealing: B
Rebounding: B-
Blocking: B-
Ball Handeling: B+

Milwaukee Bucks:

I like the Bucks team alot! but they are missing some blocks , with better blocking I see them as a top 4 team in the east , they are very well rounded otherwhise , elite rebounding , elite ball handeling , solid all over the pace , if Bucks improve their blocking some how and get an extra scorer we should all be scared.

Team Scores:
Scoring: C-
Offence efficency: B-
Deffence: B
Stealing: B-
Rebounding: A-
Blocking: D-
Ball Handeling: A-

Atlanta Hawks:

Yuck! the Hawks team have elite scoring and good rebounding , like the Celtics they will try to out score their enemys in the east , but I can't see that happening with bad D/blocking/deffence/steals , bad all over , the good side - they are in line for a top draft pick.

Team Scores:
Scoring: A-
Offence efficency: C-
Deffence: D
Stealing: D-
Rebounding: B-
Blocking: D
Ball Handeling: D+

Toronto Raptors:

Raptors might suprise this season , when I look at them though I see a very un-balanced team , elite stealing/rebounding but bad blocking/scoring/off eff , with just avg ball handling and deffence , best case seneario for this team is 6-8th seed with a record slightly over 0.5 if they get a perfect DC , I predict Raptors won't go over 0.5 though.

Team Scores:
Scoring: D-
Offence efficency: D
Deffence: C
Stealing: A
Rebounding: B+
Blocking: D+
Ball Handeling: C+

Thats it! West will be coming soon.

Grades were based on east avg's ONLY this time , not entire league avg's , to let teams know where they stand in their own conf , west will be done the same.

Drizzy · 12-16-2012, 11:23 AM

Great stuff Smath, love the analysis. I'll be looking to acquire some D on the wings when the season gets underway.

Smath · 12-16-2012, 11:46 AM

btw teams are in no praticular order.

AllRim · 12-17-2012, 01:26 PM

I was going to say, you have me ranked last. The hate continues. I average 105 points a game, how is my scoring weak? If I ever find you, I'm going to have to slap some sense into that brain of yours.

Good write up though, thanks for taking the time.

**RollWithEm** · 12-17-2012, 02:06 PM

Smath, these are team ratings... not power rankings. Both threads are very good and informative, but they are named incorrectly.

Smath · 12-17-2012, 02:15 PM

yea w/e RWE hehe doesn't really matter doesn't it?

Allrim - its math! the scoring is based on ur 2ga/3ga/FTA of your starting 5... you pace might be high so ur scoring more... but ur also getting more scored on.

Smath · 12-17-2012, 02:18 PM

btw RWE - u can look at this as some sort of power rankings too , the top teams obviously are the teams with high grades.

AllRim · 12-17-2012, 04:23 PM

should be called smath hates on the Raptors again, and not actual power rankings thread

Smath · 12-17-2012, 04:45 PM
