As in the last time I did this ranking, the Suns lead, which is impressive considering they were barely in the lead last time...and remain barely in the lead, putting only 9 more points between themselves and the Jazz for the overall lead...obviously the Jazz would have been farther off had I done this last year, but, winning a title does tend to close things up a bit. Thanks to the Nanz period, the Nuggets made a pretty large climb, catapulting from 9th to 3rd while the Raptors remained at 8th. The Nets have risen from 8th to 5th on the back of styros ability to set a team up. Meanwhile the Bobcats have taken the biggest hit, dropping from 5th all the way to 12th. Over the period (9 seasons I believe) the Nuggets are also the highest point claimer, followed closely by the Thunder, who sit just 9 points back. Then its the Timberwolves, and a three way tie for fourth between the Bucks, Magic, and Suns. The clear worst team is the Rockets, a full 84 points behind the Pacers for the worst team mark. 2nd worst was the pacers, then the Bobcats at third worst.
I gave teams
1 point for a regular season win
2 points for a playoff win
4 points for a Division Title
4 Points for a Conference Title (on top of 4 for winning the division)
5 points for a playoff appearance
8 Points for being the overall number 1 (on top of the 8 from winning the conference)
10 points for a finals appearance
25 points for a title
That means a first round playoff appearance is worth 5-11 points (5 for the appearance + up to three wins at two points each) 2nd round is 13-19 points, Conference Championship 21-27, a Finals appearance is worth 39-45, and a title is worth 72 points, due to the wins. The most possible points in the regular season would be 98, and the most possible points in the playoffs 72. Without further hesitation, I present the overall Rankings.

- The Bobcats, Nuggets, Trail Blazers, Magic, Bulls, Nets, and Bucks are each perfect when it comes to going to the finals and then completing the goal of winning a title. The Nuggets are an astounding 3 for 3, while the Magic, Bulls, and Bobcats are each 2 for 2.
- The Timberwolves, Pistons, Wizards, Grizzlies, Pacers, Spurs, Hornets, Lakers, Pacers, and Warriors are all on the opposite end of the spectrum, having reached the Finals, but come up short of winning a title, of those, none is worse than 2-2
- over half of BBS has made a finals appearance, with 22 of the 29 teams making a finals appearance. The teams that haven't? New York Knicks (who still rank 7th amazingly enough), Oklahoma City Thunder, Dallas Mavericks, Boston Celtics, Atlanta Hawks, Los Angeles Clippers and Houston Rockets
- If I had to say that I have one team overrated in this ranking, it would have to be the Knicks at 7, as they do not even have a finals appearance...but they never seem to rebuild giving them a lot of regular season wins and they do tend to win a few games come playoff time.
- The New York Knicks are the best regular season team, as they have been consistent at winning a lot of games. However come playoff time, the Knicks have been unable to match their continued excellence with an average 5.411 wins per playoff appearance...so barely the second round.
- The Raptors have the highest number of playoff appearances, at 19 in 23 seasons
- The Hawks and Wizards have reached the playoffs a mere 6 times in 23 seasons, of course, the Wizards do have a Finals appearance in those 6 appearances
- The Nuggets and Grizzlies have both gone to the playoffs 15 times....but the Nuggets have 49 more wins in their 15 trips
- If there is something else you would like to know, or would like me to add, go ahead and post it and I will see what I can do. No guarantees though.
