The 2014-2015 NBA season is winding down — how did your favorite team grade out?


The end is here.

The 2014-2015 NBA regular season is wrapping up with a full slate on the final day of the league’s calendar. With much of the suspense removed from the proceedings, it is time to wrap things into a tidy bow by evaluating each team’s performance over the course of an 82-game schedule.

In that vein, we will be handing out season “grades” to each and every organization in this space. It is important to weigh preseason expectations as a method of evaluating context, and on the bright side for you (maybe not for me), there is published evidence of where I believed each team would end up at the conclusion of the 2014-2015 season.
