Number 14, isn't it? But ninth in the West.

i'm glad we got a pretty decent ranking.

the ranking is still pretty biased though... I mean, you have teams who are barely above .500(Mavs, Kings) over teams like rockets who are 6-3

i'm sorry, but rockets have more win than kings, less losses, same wins as mavs, less losses... this ranking sucks!! personally i think the "elite" teams are underachiving this season, and don't deserve to be ranked higher than the overachieving teams such as rockets and the grizz.

heck, t-wolves at 5-5 is ranked over us at 5-4.. not only do we have one less loss, we beat some of the best teams in the league!!

bias, bias, bias

Why not just look at the standings if you want the teams ranked by wins and losses. Thats not what powerrankings are.

c-dog, it's not about the number of wins and losses, but who teams are beating or losing to. it's a style points ranking.

I understand it's not just about the win loss record, but the Grizzlies DID beat some pretty good teams, which is why I think they could have been ranked even higher.
