Head coach Erik Spoelstra has led this Miami Heat team to a 6-2 start this season. They integrated Kyle Lowry seamlessly into their system and are now in the top five in the NBA in offensive rating. The Heat have also conceded the lowest points so far and are second in the NBA in defensive rating. They have kept their opponents below 100 points in six of their eight games.

Jimmy Butler is averaging incredible numbers so far and has forced his way into the early MVP race. Tyler Herro is creating highlights and is dropping 20.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 4.0 assists a game in 31.3 minutes off the bench. If he keeps up the pace, Herro could enter the Sixth Man of the Year discussion.

Utah Jazz head coach Quin Snyder

The Utah Jazz have started their season guns blazing. They picked up right where they left off last regular season and have established themselves as a force to be reckoned with. They are third in the NBA in both offensive and defensive ratings. Rudy Gobert is anchoring the team's defense while putting up fabulous numbers. Donovan Mitchell is leading the team in scoring and controlling its offense.

The Utah Jazz are the only team in the NBA that is undefeated at home. Salt Lake City and Vivint Arena was voted as the best home-court advantage in the NBA in the NBA's 2021 Annual GM Survery. The Jazz were 31-5 at home last season and looks like they will maintain that dominance this season as well.

#1 Steve Kerr

Golden State Warriors Head coach Steve Kerr

Previous week’s NBA Coach of the Year Power Ranking - 2nd (↑1)

Last Week: Games played - 3; Games won - 3; Games lost - 0

Overall: Games played - 8; Games won - 7; Games lost - 1

Offensive Rating: 109.8 (8th of 30)

Defensive Rating: 96.4 (1st of 30)

Average Points Scored: 113.1 (3rd of 30)

Average Points Conceded: 99.4 (3rd of 30)

The Golden State Warriors started 4-0 this season for the first time since 2015-16 and are 7-1 right now, the best record in the NBA so far. Not only are they running an incredibly fluid offense filled with player and ball movement, but they are also ranked first in the NBA in defensive rating. The Warriors' 96.4 defensive rating is their lowest since the 2003-04 Pistons and they have kept their opponents under 100 points in four of their last five games.

Unless it's Stephen Curry, every Golden State Warriors player is looking for an extra pass. Nemanja Bjelica, Otto Porter Jr., Gary Payton II and many other players have bought into the system of unselfishly sharing the ball. Curry also leads the NBA in scoring and is an early MVP favorite.
