Power Rankings Roundup

And now to conclude the post, we take a look at the power rankings roundup from around the Web:

team. 38. <p>Not so sure that the East has improved as much as the narrative suggests, since it still lacks a clear-cut No. 2 challenger to Cleveland and with various up-and-down teams in the mighty West sure to pick it up sooner rather than later. But the Magic, at 5-1 since Victor Oladipo’s move to the bench, are legit early-season darlings. — <strong><a href=. (11-9). Previous: . Orlando Magic. 16

Still, they’re looking like a real basketball team and have the eighth-best defense. They’re winning despite Victor Oladipo shooting below 40 percent. That’s a good sign. —<strong><a href=. (11-9).
