NBA Rankings - 24 Nov

The top three teams from 3 weeks ago all faltered since then, with the Bucks going 4-3, the Warriors 3-5, and the Trail Blazers 3-4. Milwaukee was far enough ahead of the field to maintain the top spot, but the other two dropped 4 spots each, which brought a lot of new blood to the top. The hottest team over the past 2 weeks was Houston, who won 5 in a row after dropping Carmelo Anthony, and is now projected to grab the West's final playoff spot. Here are my full current rankings and playoff picks:
