Week 13 Power Rankings brought to you by yours truly. Enjoy
1- Cavs: They have won 5 in a row including a big win against Miami last night. I think Wade and LeBron end up together next year in Miami. Too bad wade couldn't put in another 30 points after halftime.
2- Lakers: Best record in the West but I am biased and they are only 6-4 in their last 10. They are just 1/2 game behind Cleveland for the best record overall. They have a tough 4 game road trip coming up including at the Celtics on Sunday followed by @ Memphis on Monday. Get on the Grizzles Bandwagon now.
3- Nuggets: Hottest team in the NBA right now. I love the Nuggets and Carmello. I don't care what Drew says about their lack of depth this team is for real. Western Conference Finals rematch from last year coming up.
4- Hawks: Winners of their last 3 and 8-2 in their last 10. Don't sleep on this team. We know that they own the Celtics so don't count them out come playoff time. Could we see a Cavs/Hawks Eastern Conference Finals?
5- Celtics: They get KG back and are 2-0 with him. Here's the thing. The Celtics are in a tough spot with Ray Allen. They are getting trade offers to move him to Golden State for Monta Ellis and another player but I think that would be a horrible move. Allen will take a discount to stay for 2 more years after his contract is up. Allen is Money.
6- Jazz: I put the Jazz ahead of the Mavs because they have been better as of late even if they are 3 games back in the standings. They are 8-1 in their last 9 games, losing only to the Nuggets and have scored 100+ in each game except a 97 point win against the Cavs.
7- Mavs: They are a solid team and although they absolutely destroyed the Knicks they had a tough loss against the 76ers. Three tough games coming up this week versus Phoenix, Portland, and Utah.
8- Magic: It seems as if no one is talking about them anymore as competing with the Celtics/Cavs. They have been replaced by the Hawks and need to find their groove again. They are 16-4 at home but just 13-12 on the road.
9- Grizzles: I don't care what their record says. They are up and comming and deserve more recognition. Take out their 1-8 start to the season and they are 23-11 since then. Pay attention and jump aboard.
10- Blazers/Heat: Essentially the same team at this point. Both have potential to win on any given night with the talent but their are plenty of questions on both sides of the ball. Both teams are a few wins from being recognized as true competitors in their conferences.
