NBA 2K15 Team Power Rankings (OS Computer Rankings)

[Aderito]

When you take the full team roster ratings from the initial NBA 2K15 roster, and run them through a super-secret mathematical formula to determine their relative strength, the results of which team's you will see played with most in 2K15 are what you'd expect, some teams feel as if their ratings won't reflect their real-to-life performance and some feel completely spot on.

The method behind these ratings (forever kept a secret in a cave across the world), is that star players are given much more value than role players. Also you have to keep in mind the rosters also don't reflect major injuries like Paul George at Indiana -- so the results will be skewed somewhat from what is expected on the real court this season. A team's entire roster depth is examined, but more weight is given to the very best players on a roster and their overall as those are the ones who will be on the court the most. Weaknesses of this system is that these are based solely on player overall ratings, so skill players and key cogs aren't weighted as highly as they might be otherwise, but the overall talent level on each team is fairly well represented.

So here's what the computer came up with:
San Antonio - 18.25
Cleveland Cavaliers- 18
Oklahoma City Thunder - 16
L.A. Clippers - 16
Chicago Bulls - 14.75
Washington Wizards - 12.75
Golden State Warriors - 12.5
Portland Trail Blazers - 10.25
Toronto Raptors - 10.125
Charlotte Hornets - 10
Houston Rockets - 10
Memphis Grizzlies - 9.875
Indiana Pacers - 9.625
Detroit Pistons - 9.375
Phoenix Suns - 8.5
Sacramento Kings - 8.375
Dallas Mavericks - 8.25
Miami Heat - 8.25
Atlanta Hawks - 8.25
New Orleans Pelicans - 8
Brooklyn Nets - 7.625
Boston Celtics - 7
L.A. Lakers - 6.875
New York Knicks - 6.875
Denver Nuggets - 6.25
Orlando Magic - 5
Minnesota Timberwolves - 4.875
Philadelphia 76ers - 4.5
Milwaukee Bucks - 3.5
Utah Jazz - 3.25

What do you think?

To me Dallas Mavericks, Miami Heat, Atlanta Hawks, New Orleans Pelicans are better than many teams that are higher....

Dallas Mavericks > Sacramento Kings, Phoenix Suns, Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, Memphis Grizzlies, Houston Rockets, Charlotte Hornets, Toronto Raptors, Portland Trail Blazers and Washington Wizards

Miami Heat > Sacramento Kings, Indiana Pacers, and Detroit Pistons

New Orleans Pelicans > Sacramento Kings, Indiana Pacers, Detroit Pistons
