interesting. 7th highest in the west, well ahead of the next cluster: portland, houston, dallas.

also says we've had the 14th toughest schedule - although that measure only looks at opponent record and not home/road.

Interesting.. Golden States have faced the 7th toughest schedule, are 6-5 and are ranked 18 (well below Jazz who had an easier schedule and a 6-6 record).

Most of the ranking is based on point differential and opponent quality, by my understanding. If the Warriors have, comparitively speaking, been winning by less, losing by more, and playing more at home, their ranking would drop in comparison to ours.

is it just me or is the way these are calculated not really explained very clearly?
