2015 TANKR Ratings - Day 80

[Derek]

2015 has been all over the place, but I wanted to do a check-in now that we're two-thirds of the way through the regular season. I notice there are no teams with fewer than 11 TOs, there's usually a couple in the 10's. Only one team (Nuggets) has a positive double-digit point differential. And in general there's a lot of parity...



THE INNER CIRCLE - These two are a cut above the rest through Day 80.

Nuggets
Kings

THE SECOND SANCTUM - These teams are firing on all cylinders (damn the 76ers have had some bad luck).

Timberwolves
Bulls
Jazz
Pacers
76ers
Raptors

BEST OF THE REST - These teams didn't quite make it into the Top 8 for a variety of reasons, but all could find themselves in the Finals with how close things are this season.

Pistons
Bucks
Trail Blazers
Nets
Rockets
Celtics

MID - These teams are all solid, but are hovering around the middle of the pack in terms of performance.

Spurs
Suns
Hawks
Heat
Mavericks

NOT GREAT, BOB! - These teams are mostly either coming out of a tank or heading into one.

Cavaliers
Knicks
Clippers
Bullets
Hornets

TANK GODS - Just poopy at playing winning basketball.

SuperSonics
Grizzlies
Magic
Lakers

TANK GLOBAL HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION - Point Differential -13.2, 51 Rebounds, 42.7% Shooting... ladies and gentlemen we have a winner! But watch out, the Tank Gods are coming for your belt.

Warriors
