http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/powerranking Lakers still number 1, but East teams take 3 of the top 4 rankings. Sonics still ranked in the 20s, but I'll leave my personal detest of Marc Stein out of this
Lakers might not be #1 after tonight. They're losing the f'n Grizzlies by 13. There's only 9 minutes left in the 4th also. Damn....
Kinda shocked to see Sonic only moved up one they had a solid win against the Blazers on Friday but losing to the Hawks really hurt. And at the start of the year I never thought with all the young talent the Heat have (Wade,Odom,Butler) and solid veterans(Grant,Jones) that they would ever be ranked last in the NBA. Injury really hurt this team but they are healthy now & the addition of tyrone hill to give them a little size and rebounding in the post I think the heat still are gonna be in the race for that 8 spot in the east until the end of the season. I guess coach Riley seen all the injuroes and struggles coming and got out pf town before it started.
Warriors move up to the 11 spot. I'm happy with that. Not too suprised to see the East taking 3 of the top 4 spots. They are playing good ball but keep in mind they are playing in the east. I still think the West has the top 4-5 teams in the L.
