With Halloween nearly upon us, loung_s breaks down where every team ranks in a special spooky edition of his NBA Tier List — from the Grotesquely Great to the Terrifyingly Terrible:

Let’s immediately address the elephant in the room here: The Golden State Warriors have dropped down to this level because they’re 0-2 and have looked outright horrible in their losses.

This same argument applies to the 1-2 Brooklyn Nets, who look like they’re still trying to adjust to the new squad they have. Kyrie Irving has been tremendous thus far, but barely beating the New York Knicks isn’t exactly a cause for celebration. The Nets could still be a good team, but they need to show more for the time being.

With that said, the Timberwolves are currently the only three-win team in the NBA with some impressive wins over the Nets and Heat, and the surprising Suns even beat the Clippers, so flashes of legitimacy are certainly there.Looking for NBA games that you can’t find on cable?
