The Los Angeles Clippers have moved up to #2 this week, where they spent a good amount of last season, after a 3-0 week that included a 33 point win over Indiana. Utah, Philadelphia, and Denver also made strong moves near the top, while Milwaukee slipped a couple spots after losing both of its games this week, but they were helped by the fact that the losses were to Brooklyn and the Lakers, and neither was a blowout. Boston dropped 9 spots this week after losing 3 in a row, two against the 76ers and one against the Knicks, making them the coldest team of the week. Here are my full current rankings and playoff picks:
