Bucks Diary NBA Power Rankings 12-15

Here are the latest Mke Bucks Diary NBA Power Rankings. Again, these rankings are based almost entirely on each teams' offensive/defensive efficiency differential. I only apply my subjective opinion when teams have the same differential.

This week's big doings: The Chicago Bulls continue to rise, moving up to elite status as the number one Eastern Conference team. The Phoenix Suns also continue up the charts to No. 2. The Spurs, though, seem indominatable as the No. 1 team; They just keep pushing their numbers higher and higher. Lower down in the rankings, the Clippers continue to baffle, falling again this week after seemingly stabilizing their numbers. And defending World Champion Miami finally relinquished their spot in the basement to the Charlotte Bobcats.
