NBA Rankings - 4 Nov

The Clippers lost twice this week in 3 total games, which dropped them from their perch as the runaway #1 last week. The Warriors, meanwhile, started to look like themselves again, winning their past 2 games and replacing their in-state rivals at the top. 4 teams made it through the week without a loss, including the Celtics and 76ers in the East, both of which are now looking like strong playoff contenders. Yes, you read that right. Here are my full current rankings and playoff picks:
