| Rank | Rating | Team | Record | Comment | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 (1) | 108 | NY |  |
11-1 GS 85, NY 114 W NY 119, Den 100 W NY 116, Tor 102 W Chi 124, NY 131 W Bos 102, NY 123 W NY 137, Mil 108 W Utah 103, NY 149 W NY 137, Atl 115 W NY 131, Chi 134 L NY 133, Tor 125 W Min 92, NY 117 W Sac 98, NY 125 W |
The High Priestess: Stands for intuition, mystery, and inner knowing. Suggests answers lie within or behind the scenes. Smokey doesn't say much, with his trade block thread making up the majority of his communication. However, in a few swift moves, that some thought unassuming, he has built a powerhouse. Smokey just gets it. He knows. | |
 |
2 (4) | 100 | Mil |  |
11-2 Pho 92, Mil 120 W Det 101, Mil 129 W Orl 104, Mil 118 W Mil 142, Bos 117 W Mia 107, Mil 112 W NY 137, Mil 108 L SA 119, Mil 93 L Mil 123, Cle 118 W Chi 105, Mil 112 W Bos 82, Mil 128 W Mil 136, Den 118 W Mil 122, Cha 110 W Mil 133, Pho 104 W |
Temperance: Indicates balance, moderation, and emotional harmony. Encourages patience and blending energies smoothly. Have the Bucks ever really hit their straps under the Ethan regime? Has Ethan ever felt the connection to the Bucks team? They are performing wonderfully at the moment and on paper, look to have the goods. Maybe some spiritual connection to team is helping? |
|
3 (5) | 86 | OKC |  |
10-2 OKC 121, Hou 103 W Bos 93, OKC 127 W Was 114, OKC 122 W OKC 88, Por 115 L Det 99, OKC 110 W Sac 121, OKC 122 W OKC 126, Den 123 W Atl 111, OKC 121 W Utah 133, OKC 103 L LAL 101, OKC 111 W OKC 128, Dal 102 W OKC 140, Hou 119 W |
The Tower: A symbol of sudden change, upheaval, or revelation. Old foundations collapse so truth can emerge. New GM in OKC, new era of basketball. If James was covert, then this new regime is Showtime. Cake is a breath of fresh air and his Curry deal looks like a home run. Thunder are primed. |
|
4 (7) | 83 | Cle |  |
9-3 Orl 109, Cle 128 W Cle 140, Pho 114 W Cle 131, Was 96 W Bos 119, Cle 126 W Cle 109, Orl 128 L Mil 123, Cle 118 L Mem 79, Cle 95 W Mia 119, Cle 128 W Ind 122, Cle 119 L LAL 114, Cle 126 W Cle 113, Orl 100 W Cle 133, Sac 107 W |
Temperance: Indicates balance, moderation, and emotional harmony. Encourages patience and blending energies smoothly. Talk about chemistry! Curry, Randle and Barnes seems like a random trio, but they are playing like they have been teammates for years. Cavs aren't getting attention, but those wins are piling up. |
 |
5 (3) | 74 | SA |  |
8-4 SA 135, Phi 101 W Tor 102, SA 124 W Mem 90, SA 117 W SA 111, Ind 118 L SA 140, Min 99 W Por 93, SA 129 W GS 114, SA 95 L SA 119, Mil 93 W SA 123, Mem 119 W Den 134, SA 107 L SA 124, Pho 107 W SA 110, Por 118 L |
The Emperor: Embodies authority, discipline, logic, and structure. Encourages taking control or being organized and decisive. No player screams 'emperor' more than Giannis. Nels has his consistent methods of team and roster construction and the discipline tends to pay off big. |
|
6 (8) | 72 | Ind |  |
9-4 Ind 99, Det 120 L Utah 88, Ind 108 W SA 111, Ind 118 W Hou 116, Ind 107 L Ind 122, Was 115 W Den 118, Ind 128 W Ind 129, Pho 120 W Ind 105, Phi 120 L Det 103, Ind 112 W Ind 122, Cle 119 W Ind 108, GS 112 L Ind 129, Bos 125 W Tor 123, Ind 135 W |
The Fool: Represents new beginnings, innocence, and taking a leap of faith. Encourages trusting the journey even without knowing the outcome. Yeet's leap of faith in trading Wemby has been readily documented and ridiculed. But... could Yeet laugh last and loudest? His Pacers look good. |
|
7 (2) | 68 | LAL |  |
7-5 Dal 119, LAL 110 L Utah 93, LAL 127 W Min 102, LAL 120 W LAL 127, GS 80 W LAL 110, Min 74 W GS 76, LAL 104 W LAL 129, Hou 100 W LAL 117, Cha 103 W LAL 114, Cle 126 L LAL 101, OKC 111 L LAL 114, Utah 116 L Mem 111, LAL 87 L |
The Chariot: Symbolizes determination, focused effort, and victory through discipline. Overcoming obstacles by staying in control. Coming off the high of the Wemby-heist, and a solid win streak, the Lakers have been whacked with misfortune. When the ride is bumpiest, that's when you really need to hold on. |
|
8 (6) | 63 | Dal |  |
8-5 Dal 119, LAL 110 W Cha 116, Dal 106 L Dal 101, Det 75 W Dal 105, Por 85 W Dal 118, Por 100 W Phi 129, Dal 119 L Mia 110, Dal 119 W Dal 125, LAC 117 W Dal 121, Chi 109 W Dal 103, GS 95 W OKC 128, Dal 102 L Dal 113, Bkn 117 L Det 118, Dal 106 L |
The Magician: Symbolizes manifestation, skill, and willpower. You have the tools and potential to create what you want. What is in the water at the Dallas headquarters? GM LJ has his team playing terrific basketball, even without arguably their best player. The man has put a spell on the team. |
|
9 (12) | 62 | Chi |  |
7-5 Cha 84, Chi 118 W Chi 112, Det 85 W Was 121, Chi 122 W Chi 124, NY 131 L Dal 121, Chi 109 L Orl 120, Chi 104 L Chi 123, Bkn 112 W Chi 105, Mil 112 L NY 131, Chi 134 W Hou 141, Chi 134 L Chi 122, Min 93 W Tor 97, Chi 118 W |
Seven of Pentacles: Represents patience, long-term investment, and evaluating progress. Results take time but are growing. This feels like the Bulls to me. Jonathan is never in a hurry to do too much, or anything drastic, calmly tinkering with his personnel. He believes in his team and sees a steady climb as the right way to build. |
|
10 (14) | 59 | Por |  |
7-5 Por 122, Min 81 W Por 105, NO 107 L Dal 105, Por 85 L OKC 88, Por 115 W Dal 118, Por 100 L Por 102, Mem 97 W Por 93, SA 129 L Hou 97, Por 122 W Por 112, NO 135 L Den 128, Por 136 W SA 110, Por 118 W GS 98, Por 120 W |
The Moon: Stands for illusion, intuition, dreams, and uncertainty. Things may not be what they seem; trust instincts. Is Cooper Flagg really this good already? Or this is simply an anomaly from a small sample of data? If jmac has one thing, it is intuition. Is it 'go time', now? Is this broken team closer than it seems to being whole again? |
| 11 (11) | 58 | Hou |  |
8-4 OKC 121, Hou 103 L Hou 124, Pho 121 W Hou 141, Den 118 W Hou 116, Ind 107 W Pho 121, Hou 141 W LAL 129, Hou 100 L Hou 97, Por 122 L Hou 116, Sac 109 W Utah 96, Hou 100 W Hou 129, Orl 114 W Hou 141, Chi 134 W OKC 140, Hou 119 L |
The Lovers: Represents meaningful relationships, choices from the heart, and aligning values. A sign of harmony or major decisions. No GM represents harmony more than Vitt, who is but a leaf on the wind, moving where the energy takes him. Vitt's roster turns over at a snail's pace, allowing the team to build chemistry and the players to be beloved. | |
|
12 (10) | 58 | Phi |  |
7-5 SA 135, Phi 101 L Tor 122, Phi 110 L Phi 119, Cha 102 W Phi 117, GS 110 W Was 118, Phi 114 L Phi 129, Dal 119 W Phi 114, Mem 105 W Ind 105, Phi 120 W Phi 109, Tor 122 L Pho 95, Phi 131 W Mia 125, Phi 123 L Phi 123, Bos 93 W |
The Chariot: Symbolizes determination, focused effort, and victory through discipline. Overcoming obstacles by staying in control. The Murray injury was a massive hit to the spirit last season, but Ben took it in a stride and rewarded with a strong team effort to close the season and a great off-season of moves. Ben's commitment to the vision has his team looking formidable (again). |
|
13 (22) | 57 | NO |  |
7-5 NO 94, Utah 117 L Min 114, NO 106 L Por 105, NO 107 W NO 93, Sac 109 L Sac 118, NO 87 L NO 97, LAC 113 L NO 146, Den 139 W Bkn 92, NO 128 W Por 112, NO 135 W NO 117, LAC 99 W NO 120, Atl 95 W Pho 106, NO 116 W |
Wheel of Fortune: Signifies cycles, fate, and unexpected change. A shift in luck or turning point beyond your control. Geez, talk about a rollercoaster ride in New Orleans. A few weeks earlier, leeroy was loading up the trade block with 'fire sale' banners. Was Luka crap in 2k? Nope. It appears the the Pelicans have finally figured it out and leeroy has stepped away from the ledge. The love/hate cycle will continue in NO. |
|
14 (9) | 56 | Utah |  |
7-5 NO 94, Utah 117 W Pho 114, Utah 118 W Utah 93, LAL 127 L Utah 88, Ind 108 L Cha 122, Utah 127 W Utah 103, NY 149 L Utah 129, Pho 107 W Min 109, Utah 143 W Utah 96, Hou 100 L Utah 133, OKC 103 W LAL 114, Utah 116 W Det 127, Utah 123 L |
The Devil: Represents temptation, unhealthy attachments, fear, or illusion. A call to break free from self-imposed chains. There is no easy way to say it - there is a looming spectre slowly creeping towards the snow-capped mountains of Utah. Embiid looks grounded, the finances are sky-high, and the chemistry is inconsistent, despite having arguable the most talent in the league. Will jas make a move or is he attached to this squad? |
| 15 (15) | 51 | Cha |  |
7-7 Cha 84, Chi 118 L Cha 116, Dal 106 W Mia 103, Cha 112 W Phi 119, Cha 102 L Cha 122, Utah 127 L Cha 121, Bkn 116 W LAC 108, Cha 117 W Bos 113, Cha 108 L LAL 117, Cha 103 L Cha 120, Was 114 W Cha 100, Mia 118 L Mil 122, Cha 110 L Bos 109, Cha 119 W Bkn 106, Cha 134 W |
Nine of Cups: Symbolizes emotional satisfaction, wishes coming true, and enjoying life’s pleasures. A card of gratitude and fulfillment. I enjoy Craig's continual positive disposition about his team. He always believes in his Hornets and rides the ups and downs like a pro. After a grind off the court, his Hornets are finding their groove. | |
|
16 (18) | 48 | Mia |  |
6-6 Mia 103, Cha 112 L Den 128, Mia 117 L Mia 120, Atl 113 W Mia 107, LAC 85 W Tor 117, Mia 122 W Mia 107, Mil 112 L Mia 110, Dal 119 L Mia 119, Cle 128 L Cha 100, Mia 118 W Orl 97, Mia 113 W Mia 125, Phi 123 W Mia 130, Atl 133 L |
Four of Pentacles: Represents security, boundaries, and holding tight to resources—sometimes to the point of rigidity or fear of loss. Pete has his guys that he likes and he has an ideal build in 2k, with height and defence. Why are the Heat still middling? Does Pete need to stop playing it safe and make a splash with his depth and picks? |
|
17 (21) | 36 | Mem |  |
5-7 Sac 100, Mem 108 W Mem 130, Was 115 W Mem 90, SA 117 L Mem 110, Bkn 103 W Por 102, Mem 97 L Phi 114, Mem 105 L Mem 112, Sac 122 L Mem 79, Cle 95 L SA 123, Mem 119 L LAC 125, Mem 115 L Sac 104, Mem 112 W Mem 111, LAL 87 W |
Three of Swords: A card of heartbreak, disappointment, or painful truth. Encourages emotional release and healing. It feels like the Grizzlies took a hit a few years ago that caused a pain that is still lingering. Consistent 'pilot error', consistent injuries, misfortune, disappointing results in important games. The once proud and strong Grizz are still looking to complete their redemption arc. |
|
18 (19) | 34 | Tor |  |
5-8 Tor 102, SA 124 L Tor 122, Phi 110 W Atl 117, Tor 129 W NY 116, Tor 102 L Tor 117, Mia 122 L Atl 129, Tor 122 L Tor 111, Pho 128 L Tor 121, GS 91 W Phi 109, Tor 122 W Tor 138, Bkn 135 W NY 133, Tor 125 L Tor 123, Ind 135 L Tor 97, Chi 118 L |
Wheel of Fortune: Signifies cycles, fate, and unexpected change. A shift in luck or turning point beyond your control. Was Dylan bound to end up with Brunson, KAT and Hart, after declaring his love for the real-life Knicks players? New season, new team for Toronto. Dyl still working them out. |
|
19 (23) | 29 | Det |  |
5-8 Det 104, Bkn 83 W Ind 99, Det 120 W Dal 101, Det 75 L Det 101, Mil 129 L Chi 112, Det 85 L Det 99, OKC 110 L LAC 101, Det 109 W Det 88, Bos 114 L Det 103, Ind 112 L Was 119, Det 101 L Det 105, Sac 109 L Det 127, Utah 123 W Det 118, Dal 106 W |
The Hanged Man: Represents surrender, pause, and seeing things from a new angle. Change occurs through letting go. The Pistons went all Elsa and 'Let it Go', leaning heavily into a gut and rebuild. Trae out, Ace in and lots of questionable coaching moves. Sheed has increased his activity as of late; new Pistons era approaching? |
|
20 (25) | 28 | Den |  |
4-8 Sac 95, Den 109 W NY 119, Den 100 L Den 128, Mia 117 W Hou 141, Den 118 L Den 118, Ind 128 L NO 146, Den 139 L OKC 126, Den 123 L Den 100, GS 113 L Min 125, Den 144 W Den 134, SA 107 W Mil 136, Den 118 L Den 128, Por 136 L |
Five of Wands: Symbolises conflict, competition, tension, or miscommunication. Energy is scattered; cooperation is needed. Donovan Mitchell is off to a slow start and so are the Nuggets. Is this team sleepwalking? Is there something going on behind the scenes? |
|
21 (13) | 28 | Orl |  |
4-7 Orl 109, Cle 128 L Bkn 118, Orl 111 L Orl 104, Mil 118 L Atl 92, Orl 115 W Cle 109, Orl 128 W Bos 119, Orl 112 L Orl 120, Chi 104 W Orl 115, Was 108 W Hou 129, Orl 114 L Orl 97, Mia 113 L Cle 113, Orl 100 L |
The Hermit: Represents introspection, solitude, and inner guidance. A time to withdraw, reflect, and seek truth. Despite a lack of wins, the Orlando Magic are definitely building. Our lone female, mailo, a rose amongst the thorns, doesn't do things loudly but makes moves. The Magic have control of their pick destiny for this season, so any outcome is good. |
|
22 (17) | 27 | Sac |  |
4-9 Sac 100, Mem 108 L Sac 95, Den 109 L Min 106, Sac 102 L NO 93, Sac 109 W Sac 121, OKC 122 L Sac 118, NO 87 W Sac 108, Bkn 130 L Mem 112, Sac 122 W Hou 116, Sac 109 L Sac 104, Mem 112 L Det 105, Sac 109 W Cle 133, Sac 107 L Sac 98, NY 125 L |
The Fool: Represents new beginnings, innocence, and taking a leap of faith. Encourages trusting the journey even without knowing the outcome. In some ways, Klemm is too good and pure for this world. In other ways, he is a bourbon drinking, pot-smoking mad lad who flies by the seat of his pants. The Kings are doing Kings things, hanging thereabouts. The man doesn't worry about the swim back, and I love it. |
|
23 (28) | 27 | Was |  |
4-9 Mem 130, Was 115 L Was 114, OKC 122 L Cle 131, Was 96 L Was 121, Chi 122 L LAC 119, Was 116 L Was 118, Phi 114 W Ind 122, Was 115 L Orl 115, Was 108 L Was 122, Bos 104 W Was 100, Bkn 117 L Cha 120, Was 114 L Atl 100, Was 132 W Was 119, Det 101 W |
Five of Wands: Symbolizes conflict, competition, tension, or miscommunication. Energy is scattered; cooperation is needed. Are the Wizards just a clean bill of health away from being the fearsome Title defenders we all anticipated? It has been a very rocky start, with the Front Office even complaining about the media attention Booker hasn't been getting for his scoring numbers. Will there be calmer waters ahead? |
|
24 (26) | 25 | Bkn |  |
4-8 Det 104, Bkn 83 L Bkn 118, Orl 111 W GS 123, Bkn 113 L Mem 110, Bkn 103 L Cha 121, Bkn 116 L Sac 108, Bkn 130 W Bkn 92, NO 128 L Chi 123, Bkn 112 L Tor 138, Bkn 135 L Was 100, Bkn 117 W Dal 113, Bkn 117 W Bkn 106, Cha 134 L |
Wheel of Fortune: Signifies cycles, fate, and unexpected change. A shift in luck or turning point beyond your control. When the cogs and gears of fate twist and turn there's not much you can do to halt the momentum. Each year, it is going to be the 'Net's Year' but thus far, all they have is injuries and disappointment. With Trae and OG nearing a return, will see see a good team emerge? |
|
25 (20) | 24 | Atl |  |
4-7 Atl 117, Tor 129 L LAC 100, Atl 118 W Mia 120, Atl 113 L Atl 92, Orl 115 L Atl 129, Tor 122 W Min 100, Atl 120 W NY 137, Atl 115 L Atl 111, OKC 121 L Atl 100, Was 132 L Mia 130, Atl 133 W NO 120, Atl 95 L |
The Chariot: Symbolizes determination, focused effort, and victory through discipline. Overcoming obstacles by staying in control. Bulldog has already stated he wants to be the first to build a 'modern' NSL team where incredible depth and chemistry will trump star power. Bulldog believes in his players and is recognizant of not giving freely trading and giving up on players/ideals. |
|
26 (27) | 24 | LAC |  |
4-8 Bos 127, LAC 119 L LAC 100, Atl 118 L LAC 119, Was 116 W Mia 107, LAC 85 L LAC 101, Det 109 L LAC 108, Cha 117 L NO 97, LAC 113 W Dal 125, LAC 117 L LAC 124, GS 107 W LAC 125, Mem 115 W NO 117, LAC 99 L LAC 113, Min 121 L |
The Hermit: Represents introspection, solitude, and inner guidance. A time to withdraw, reflect, and seek truth. Andrew never seems too high or too low in the NSL, and you wouldn't really know either way. If the Clippers are going to pop, it's coming from in house. |
|
27 (24) | 17 | GS |  |
4-8 GS 85, NY 114 L GS 123, Bkn 113 W Phi 117, GS 110 L LAL 127, GS 80 L GS 76, LAL 104 L GS 114, SA 95 W Den 100, GS 113 W Tor 121, GS 91 L LAC 124, GS 107 L Dal 103, GS 95 L Ind 108, GS 112 W GS 98, Por 120 L |
The Star: Represents hope, healing, peace, and inspiration. A guiding light during or after difficult times. The Star is Daz, without a shadow of a doubt. Never have I seen such a brave and admirable GM. To leave the league's best team for the league's worst is herculean. As long as he is there, the team will be ok. |
|
28 (16) | 15 | Bos |  |
4-9 Bos 127, LAC 119 W Bos 93, OKC 127 L Mil 142, Bos 117 L Bos 119, Cle 126 L Bos 102, NY 123 L Bos 119, Orl 112 W Bos 113, Cha 108 W Det 88, Bos 114 W Was 122, Bos 104 L Bos 82, Mil 128 L Bos 109, Cha 119 L Ind 129, Bos 125 L Phi 123, Bos 93 L |
Death: Symbolizes transformation, endings, and deep renewal. Old phases fall away to make room for growth. As Will Ferrell's character states in Wedding Crashers, 'with death comes rebirth'. Tatum is in cryo-freeze and the window that never was seems to have closed. What will take shape? |
|
29 (30) | -1 | Min |  |
3-9 Por 122, Min 81 L Min 114, NO 106 W Min 102, LAL 120 L Min 106, Sac 102 W LAL 110, Min 74 L SA 140, Min 99 L Min 100, Atl 120 L Min 109, Utah 143 L Min 125, Den 144 L LAC 113, Min 121 W Chi 122, Min 93 L Min 92, NY 117 L |
Two of Wands: Symbolizes planning, exploring options, and making decisions that shape your future direction. Shay has been in the news this past week. The Wolves are losing, his players are all hurt, but are the bad times about to end? Many have weighed in on what he should be doing to rescue the Wolves. He is playing cards close to his chest and seeing what plays out. |
|
30 (29) | -9 | Pho |  |
1-11 Pho 92, Mil 120 L Pho 114, Utah 118 L Cle 140, Pho 114 L Hou 124, Pho 121 L Pho 121, Hou 141 L Ind 129, Pho 120 L Utah 129, Pho 107 L Tor 111, Pho 128 W Pho 95, Phi 131 L SA 124, Pho 107 L Mil 133, Pho 104 L Pho 106, NO 116 L |
The Hanged Man: Represents surrender, pause, and seeing things from a new angle. Change occurs through letting go. Laddas had his plans ripped to shreds when Dame's achilles was ripped to shreds. He made the best of a bad hand and has taken a swing on some high upside youth. |
