Power Rankings: Week 7
A can’t remember the last time so many teams had this many winning streaks. 6 clubs have run off at least 5 in a row and some look like there far off from letting it come to an immediate end. The Spurs are the first team to hit the 20 win mark but will they carry this high octane energy throughout the year. When will San Antonio slow down or can they? Maybe, they are this good. I still don’t pick this …

The Knicks have been awful in the last decade and Amare Stoudemire has been deemed a creation of Steve Nash. A player only set up by the highest caliber of dime dishing. An aberration to being a dunk only, no jumper, crappy rebounder, and lack-less defender. Now, Stoudemire is taking the Knicks to a level it is has not seen since the 90s. The two seem to need each other. Amare has an ego, a good one at that, but an ego without a doubt. …
In my previous post, I talked about the Dallas Mavericks and their 10 game winnings streak. Well, I predicted it would go to at least 11, hard thing to do when they faced off against the Nets at home and Prokhorov and Cuban are fighting like 7 year old bullies in the school yard. Anyway, I’m going up North this time to talk about the best team in the East, and arguably the NBA: the Boston Celtics.
After their thrilling last second heroics against Philadelphia to push the winning …
Every week it seems I am writing about the Southwest division. (next week, I may write about the Rockets, honestly, they are turning it around and Aaron Brooks returns later this week) Hey, why not? they have the two best teams in the Western Conference (at the moment) and arguably the best point guard. Every division game is exciting and important, even in the first quarter of the season.
The previous two weeks, I have written about the Spurs dominance. They get a week off after losing to …
Power Rankings: Week 6
This week the Spurs continue their hot streak, the Lakers get out of their little slump, the Magic come down with the flu and the Mavs keep winning. Denver is almost unbeatable at home, Utah is still strong after a light week, and the Thunder continue to win with or without Kevin Durant. If you didn’t listen to the podcast, I touched on Russell Westbrook near the forefront of the MVP race, but no one can take that away from Dirk Nowitzki at the moment. …
Yes, the Clippers are terrible, but with Eric Gordon and Blake Griffin providing a balance of long distance treys and dunk highlights. Actually, there isn’t a balance with that. Who the hell watches youtube videos of knocking three pointers (I do, Ray Allen is my favorite player)? Griffins is giving people a reason to go the see this team play. I am going to see him twice (New York and New Jersey). I may even drive down to Philadelphia to see Griffin play. He …
