2021-22 Season Predictions from the /r/NBA Power Rankers

Masterlist. Better Late than never? 21/30 completed. 16/21 were filled out prior to start of the season. 21/21 were filled out prior to last nights full slate of games. Predictions are fun to look at now and a great way to lock in the generally sentiment about teams early in the season. I recommend mobile users to open in your mobile browser (safari, chrome, etc.).

We will be looking for 6 new reps between now and next rankings on Mon 11/1, stay tuned: DET, LAL, MEM, NOP, SAC, and WAS
