NBA 2K15 Power Rankings (11/21/14)

It's good to see that in only a few days 2K noticed my posts and took steps to rectify the situation immediately.

17 teams were over/underrated on 11/18 (five of them by 10+ ranking points)
Only three days later we can see that number has been cut in HALF - eight teams are over/underrated, with only one by 10+ points.

There are still a number of teams that need significant change to their offense/defense ratings, but at least from a production standpoint the league is much closer to where it should be than it was a week ago.

Simple Rating System (SRS); a rating that takes into account average point differential and strength of schedule. The rating is denominated in points above/below average, where zero is average.
