Power Rankings


Ed Note - I have a much more extensive document, however it's in excel and I have yet to figure out how to properly format it for the blog, so this is what you get for this week...

30. oklahoma city - blake griffin, pagin blake griffin....
29. clippers - baron, zach randolph and al thornton make an interesting trio, need to move either kaman or camby
28. minnesota - al jefferson still a bright spot
27. washington - as many wins last week as rest of season combined and almost stole one against the lakers
26. memphis - still think mike conley jr isnt much of a pro...
25. charlotte - played miami tough.... but lost
24. sacramento - snapped 8 game losing streak with blowout win over lakers.
23. golden state - when does crash ellis return?
22. milwaukee - tough set of games for milwaukee last week, included roadies at lakers & suns... and resulted in two blowout losses
21. indiana - win over lakers highlighted other dismal 1-3 week.
20. toronto - 0-4 week.... is bosh looking forward to new york & 2010? doubtful... he's the lone bright spot on this dismal squad
19. philadelphia - really a disappointing year considering they have iggy hop & brand
18. new york - is it 2010 yet? the knicks slide to the lottery continues
17. chicago - rose might be an all-star already
16. new jersey - really loving that devin harris - jason kidd trade
15. miami - wade!
14. atlanta - hawks still struggling against good teams
13. detroit - 1-3 week. win over san antonio was lone bright spot
12. dallas - agree w/ mr robertson... kidd is second best pg on the team.
11. phoenix - big game in staples tomorrow night
10. houston - maybe i'm downgrading them because they're not an exciting team. yao went for 24 & 19, which is nice.
9. new orleans - 2-0 week, with win over phoenix puts them back at #9. tough stretch coming... 11 days, 6 games
8. san antonio - 3-1 week. manu + tp and a 32 and 10 night from duncan... ummm yeah, they're back. look out.
7. utah - deron still getting his legs under him
6. denver - keeping pace with the rest of the west's best
5. portland - tough loss to orlando at home... considering they were up 5 with less a minute to play.
4. orlando - 3 of the top 4 in the nba in the east?
3. lakers- not a very good week... losses to the queens and pacers, squeaking out a win over washington... ugly play from the lakers causes drop.
2. cleveland - 9 in a row for cleveland
1. boston - 12 in a row..... cruising.


Just for the blog sake, I will work on formatting the extended version of the power rankings... but just some opportunities for people to silence their critics...

DJ Augustin
Jason Kidd
Adam Morrison
Andrea Bargnani
Spencer Hawes
Eric Gordon....

consider yourselves called out....
