1	Utah Jazz	29 - 6	12 - 0	17 - 6	46	1.31	Jazz stay on top, only ABCA team with a perfect record at home.
2	Phoenix Suns	24 - 9	13 - 1	11 - 8	33	1.00	Suns rose to second place after the last sim.
3	Detroit Pistons	24 - 7	14 - 2	10 - 5	30	0.97	Pistons gain momentum after shaking the injury bug.
4	New York Knicks	21 - 8	13 - 1	8 - 7	27	0.93	The acquisition of John Williams solidified an already excellent front court.
5	Boston Celtics	24 - 10	10 - 4	14 - 6	30	0.88	Celtics hang onto fifth, has the management shakeup effected their overall rating?
6	Atlanta Hawks	18 - 12	11 - 3	7 - 9	19	0.63	Hawks front office roster maneuvers tell the team the time to win is now.
7	Indiana Pacers	19 - 12	9 - 5	10 - 7	19	0.61	Indiana jumps four spots to keep pace with the Eastern Conference elite.
8	Portland Trailblazers	17 - 12	10 - 4	7 - 8	16	0.55	Blazers regroup with a solid effort, proving the previously poor sim was the exception not the rule.
9	Orlando Magic	17 - 11	12 - 4	5 - 7	14	0.50	Barkley is a SMALL forward by name alone.
10	Los Angeles Lakers	20 - 11	15 - 6	5 - 5	13	0.42	Magic has 20 double doubles and 4 triple doubles in his first 31 games.
11	Dallas Mavericks	14 - 14	9 - 4	5 - 10	11	0.39	Mavs playing .500 ball, the capital D stands for defense.
12	Chicago Bulls	20 - 15	13 - 7	7 - 8	13	0.37	Bulls jump three spots, someone whose name isn't Jordan needs to score points.
13	Miami Heat	17 - 17	11 - 6	6 - 11	11	0.32	Heat try and stay hotter then the three teams 1/2 game behind their current #8 seed.
14	San Antonio Spurs	16 - 13	11 - 6	5 - 7	9	0.31	Spurs have risen with home stands. They'll need to produce on the road to maintain the 14 spot.
15	Denver Nuggets	14 - 17	11 - 4	3 - 13	9	0.29	Hopefully the new front office can turn this talented team around before the season is a disappointment.
16	Philadelphia 76ers	15 - 16	10 - 6	5 - 10	8	0.26	I still want to discount the Barkley-less Sixers, but you can't argue with their defense.
17	Cleveland Cavaliers	12 - 13	8 - 6	4 - 7	4	0.16	Not panic time in Ctown yet. They are positioned to make a run as soon as a shooter emerges.
18	New Jersey Nets	14 - 15	8 - 8	6 - 7	4	0.14	Scrappy Nets are hanging on and hovering around the .500 mark.
19	Milwaukee Bucks	15 - 20	7 - 10	8 - 10	3	0.09	Don't discount the Bucks if and when they are able to upgrade their power forward production.
20	Sacramento Kings	14 - 20	10 - 8	4 - 12	2	0.06	Resurgent Kings rise from the basement. It looks like someone just found their depth chart.
21	Golden State Warriors	12 - 19	7 - 9	5 - 10	-1	-0.03	I wonder which Warrior team will show up next sim as they yo-yo down the standings.
22t	Houston Rockets	11 - 17	9 - 7	2 - 10	-1	-0.04	Rockets struggling with injuries and hope to hang onto their playoff seed until healthy.
22t	Los Angeles Clippers	9 - 18	5 - 7	4 - 11	-1	-0.04	Clippers lead the league in turnovers per game, a recipe for the lottery.
22t	Minnesota Timberwolves	8 - 16	5 - 6	3 - 10	-1	-0.04	Twolves could add some wins with more offense, which is easier then adding defense.
25	Washington Bullets	11 - 23	6 - 10	5 - 13	-4	-0.12	The lack of depth created by the Bullets preseason trades became apparent last sim.
26t	Seattle Sonics	11 - 25	6 - 11	5 - 14	-6	-0.17	He took the Spurs to the bottom of the old ABCA, guess where the Sonics are headed?
26t	Charlotte Hornets	10 - 25	6 - 10	4 - 15	-6	-0.17	You can't say the Hornets are committed to winning when their 3rd biggest player is a 6'8" 225 lb SF.
28	Vancouver Grizzlies	11 - 21	6 - 11	5 - 10	-6	-0.19	The Grizz have been trying to win games from day 1. How can you root against that?
29	Toronto Raptors	4 - 29	3 - 15	1 - 14	-25	-0.76	Speaking of admiration, you have to admire the Rap's sole season ticket holder as he endures these losers.

Smart ass lol! I moved up to where I'm now 3rd.

[dthomp34]

Still top 5, and barely behind Detroit. Just need to work on the road record since we're strong at MSG.

[Golden State]

Yeah I think once Isiah is back full throttle that will help my road record.
