Great methodology. Too bad the results place the the best team so far -- the Lakers -- behind.... DENVER? Better tweak the gears in a hurry, or this site will make like the Rockets and be gone. I invite responses at Obviousman@AOL.com.

A request for research: could you calculate the effect of rest days on team efficiency differential? Along the lines of NBA Stuffer's work: http://www.nbastuffer.com/2009-2010_NBA_Regular_Season_Rest_Days_Stats.html . It would take a little effort, but nevertheless it could be very interesting.

We use raw scoring margin for SRS because, while admittedly less accurate (although not terribly so), it allows us to calculate SRS for all of pro basketball history. I'd rather SRS be slightly inaccurate for 60+ years than only have 23 years of ratings to work with.

That would be a wonderful improvement!

Of course, at such an early point in the season, quality of opponent is a larger factor than usual. Orlando's offensive rating must've taken a huge hit from the Miami game.
