Preseason Power Rankings

The NBA season finally kicks off tonight, which means it's time for the Preseason Power Rankings.  3 teams went undefeated in the preseason (Orlando, Utah, and Memphis), with Boston going 7-1.  While I don't put much stock in preseason records, records like this can't be completely overlooked.  The Power Rankings will be updated throughout the season, and will be a measure of how the teams are looking at that point in time, not a prediction for the end of the season.
