NBA Rankings - 2 Nov

It has been an interesting first 11 days of the NBA season, as was expected with all of the changes that happened since June. The Philadelphia 76ers stand alone at the top without a loss, but they are followed by the Miami Heat, who were supposed to be a borderline playoff team in what was supposed to be an extremely weak Eastern Conference. Another surprise has been Phoenix, who hasn't had a winning record this late in a season since November 2015, but is somehow looking like a playoff team so far. Here are my full current rankings and playoff picks:
