espn is fine, menji. thing about NBA is that anyone can win any given game in the regular season because the players don't care very much, but if you look at some basic power rankings (http://espn.go.com/nba/powerrankings)
people will have differences about how exactly it shakes out, but you clearly see which teams are better and worse
