A team rating that takes into account average point differential and strength of schedule. The rating is denominated in points above/below average, where zero is average.
2009's top five
8.68 Cavaliers (66-16)
7.44 Celtics
7.11 Lakers
6.49 Magic
5.00 Blazers
2008's top five
9.31 Celtics (66-16)
7.34 Lakers
6.87 Jazz

1996's top five
11.80 Bulls (72-10)
7.39 Sonics
6.24 Jazz
5.98 Spurs
5.40 Magic
Why am I bringing up this rating? I figure it'd be interesting to see where the teams rank after only a week.

1.77 Mavericks
-2.99 Hornets
-4.27 Wolves
-4.53 Jazz
-6.14 Clippers
-6.16 Warriors
-6.50 Kings
-9.13 Grizzlies
The Celtics are destroying opponents and going by SRS it looks like they can legitimately challenge the Bulls 72 wins, as Rasheed Wallace predicted.
The Lakers on the other hand, have to be considered VERY fortunate to be 4-1. They have gone to OT their last two games against mediocre opponents, while also dropping a game to the Mavericks. They could very easily be 2-3 had a few things gone differently (or if the schedule were tougher). They are currently playing without Pau Gasol, which is obviously the reason for their struggles. It is very doubtful the Lakers will be able to keep winning without Gasol, and the sooner they get him back, the more likely they are to win the conference.
All in all, these rankings are actually pretty spot on regarding the team talent and where we'd expect them to finish. If I were told the east rankings were end of the season numbers, I'd believe it. The west is a little more topsy turvy, as aside from the Gasol-less Lakers, the Thunder & Rockets are surprising teams, while the Jazz are off to yet another slow start. The Grizzlies have the 3rd worst SRS despite all that offensive talent... they are dead last in Defensive Rating allowing 117.7 pts per 100 possessions. Boston on the other hand, is allowing only 90.4 pts per 100 possessions, which is nothing short of incredible. I picked them to win the title this year, and with this start, I have no reason to change my prediction.

11-3-09: Biggest Movers
GOING UP
Danilo Gallinari
Unless you've been living under a rock, you know Gallinari has been lights out from 3pt range, shooting staggering 18-36 from 3pt range over his first 3 games. But that's not the only facet of his game that's improved.
Per 36 mins
21.5 pts (last yr: 14.9)
4.5 reb (last yr: 4.7)
2.5 ast (last yr: 1.3)
5.3 3PM (last yr: 2.8)
1.1 stl (last yr: 1.2)
0.8 blk (last yr: 0.3)
3.1 foul (last yr: 4.2)
21.5 PER (last yr: 13.4)
On top of the increased scoring, he's handling the ball more and setting up his teammates, while not completely embarrassing himself on defense (certainly much better than last year when he was limited by the back injury). He is quickly justifying Donnie Walsh and Mike D'Antoni's faith in him, and we could be looking at the next Stojakovic right here.
Channing Frye
Similar to Gallinari, Frye has been on a three point tear. The difference is he wasn't considered a 3pt threat until this season, but is suddenly challenging Mehmet Okur for the title of best 3pt shooting center in the league.
Per 36 mins
22.1 pts (last yr: 12.7)
6.4 reb (last yr: 6.8)
1.1 ast (last yr: 1.2)
4.9 3PM (last yr: 0.5)
2.3 stl (last yr: 0.8)
0.7 blk (last yr: 0.8)
3.7 foul (last yr: 5.1)
23.9 PER (last yr: 10.0)
Looking forward, Frye obviously won't continue to hit 65% of his threes, and unfortunately, it doesn't seem like he's improved in any other facet of the game - which really limits how much you can pump his rating (threes don't really do much for a center's overall). Still, it's nice that he's added this skill to his repetoire as he was looking like a career backup.
Brandon Jennings
Jennings is offically the favorite for rookie of the year, which is a bit surprising given he's the #10 pick and it's the first week of the season. Let's check out how the players drafted in front of him are doing.
Blake Griffin: Out for 6 weeks, which could take him out of the running.
Hasheem Thabeet: A bench role on a bad team
James Harden: Backing up Thabo Sefolosha
Tyreke Evans: Starting at PG for the Kings, but recently outplayed by Beno Udrih. Jennings top competitor.
Ricky Rubio: Not in the league, obviously.
Jonny Flynn: Starting in Minnesota but will be on a short leash all year with Ramon Sessions lurking.
Stephen Curry: Has played well, but team has lots of depth and a loony coach.
Jordan Hill: Out of the rotation and looking like Mike Sweetney part deux.
Demar DeRozan: Starting in Toronto but production is nothing special.
A couple of these teams may have missed out, but we won't find out for another year or two. Focusing in on this season...
Per 36 mins
20.5 pts
6.0 reb
6.5 ast
1.6 stl
0.0 blk
4.4 turnover
5.5 foul
.516 FG% (8.7M)
.556 3PT% (2.7M)
.667 FT% (2.2M)
21.2 PER
Jennings has been much better than expected, and a lot of that stems from his shooting percentages. Jennings wasn't supposed to be this good a shooter, so kudos to him for putting the work in. I don't think he can keep it up (especially with Michael Redd out) but he'll surely continue to put up the points/reb/ast.
Chris Kaman
Kaman has been a beast in the absence of Blake Griffin (similar to his 2007 season when Elton Brand went down). He was even serenaded with MVP chants by the Clipper loyal. While we won't go that far, let's take a look at Kaman's improvement.
Per 36 mins
20.0 pts (last yr: 14.6)
9.0 reb (last yr: 9.7)
1.2 ast (last yr: 1.8)
0.9 stl (last yr: 0.7)
1.6 blk (last yr: 1.8)
2.5 foul (last year: 3.6)
.600 FG% (last year: .528)
Kaman is scoring much more efficiently despite an increased scoring load. He's worked dilligently on his post game and mid-range jumper, and it's paying off for him. He's even worked on his defense and is playing 40 mpg by staying out of foul trouble.
GOING DOWN
Nate Robinson
Last year Nate took the next step, and really thrived in a run/gun offense. His numbers compared very favorably to guys like Monta Ellis, Jason Terry, and Leandro Barbosa, and made him one of the league's top sixth men. he didn't get the FA contract he wanted though, and I wonder if that's affecting his play.
Per 36 mins
12.2 pts (last yr: 20.7)
4.7 ast (last yr: 4.9)
0.9 stl (last yr: 1.5)
0.5 blk (last yr: 0.1)
2.8 turnover (last yr: 2.3)
5.6 foul (last yr: 3.4)
.286 FG% (last yr: .437)
.200 3PT% (last yr: .200)
9.4 3PA (last yr: 6.3)
2.3 FTA (last yr: 4.8)
The key here is the shot attempts. Nate has ceased driving it in and is content to take every three he can get. The problem here is he is only an average 3pt shooter (at best). His turnovers and fouls are also up, while his steals are down. Overall it is not a good start for the little man, who will also miss the next two weeks with an ankle sprain, and has seen the team thrive after his minutes were taken by Larry Hughes. Yes, THAT Larry Hughes.
Danilo Gallinari
Unless you've been living under a rock, you know Gallinari has been lights out from 3pt range, shooting staggering 18-36 from 3pt range over his first 3 games. But that's not the only facet of his game that's improved.

0.8 blk (last yr: 0.3)

0.7 blk (last yr: 0.8)
3.7 foul (last yr: 5.1)
23.9 PER (last yr: 10.0)
Looking forward, Frye obviously won't continue to hit 65% of his threes, and unfortunately, it doesn't seem like he's improved in any other facet of the game - which really limits how much you can pump his rating (threes don't really do much for a center's overall).

These close ratings are really bad.
A lot of them just don't make any sense.
M. Bibby
2009: 25-54 (.462)
2008: 11-30 (.366)
2007: 26-64 (.406)

Their close ratings?
Peja: 76
Rondo: 68
Bibby: 50
Wallace: 50
Rondo is pretty clearly better than Peja.
Bibby doesn't average as many shots but his percentage should clearly put him above Ben Wallace.
It seems like any player who didn't get in a certain volume of Close shots automatically got a 50 as every team has multiple players with a 50. That's just stupid and lazy.
