Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily presented by Amazon Prime.

I'm Zena Keda.

Joining me is Law Murray.

Coming up, Jared Weiss is going to join us to discuss how the Spurs were able to outlast

Detroit's physicality.

We're just going to talk a little bit about some contention around the NBA.

Let's get into it.

What up, Law?

Law, it's been so long.

That's because I'm bouncing between all these neighborhoods in Los Angeles figuring out which game I'm covering on a given

day. Sometimes I cover two of them. So I'm glad we got a free night to talk. I know. And I love it.

And I'm happy that we got you here on a Monday. We got the power rankings that came out. And I

think this is one of the most interesting, consistent pieces of news that we get on the athletic.

I do some power rankings, Sabrina scale on the women's basketball side during college.

And I always ask her about her process of how does she go about taking the top 25?

Does it always match up with AP poll?

And I know that your top 30 teams and how

you break them out is so interesting. The top contenders in a good place, the bubble. And each

week, you don't evenly distribute them. They switch and they move, et cetera. So I want to ask you,

how do you go about creating your power rankings?

I feel like, first of all, shout out to Sabrina, one of my favorite people that she was definitely hitting me up about some other stuff earlier.

And I read so many other people's power rankings, you know, the power rings at other sports at the athletic, everybody who does their power rankings across the NBA.
