Well a lot has changed in the NBA since our last rankings, the Hornets have reverted to the mediocre team we all expected, the defending champs went on a 4 game losing streak and the mighty Celtics have continued to dominate (yes I’m still a homer). I know its early in the season but I’m also taking back something I said in the previous rankings, hint the Celtics aren’t behind the Lakers anymore.
1.) Boston Celtics- How can I deny a team that’s on an impressive 10 game winning streak and are playing some great basketball even though they’ve been plagued with injuries. Kevin Garnett is playing some amazing ball and some of the rebounding numbers hes getting are flat out ridiculous comparing to how he struggled last year
2.) Dallas Mavericks- With a 16-4 record the Mavericks are surprising many people with their play and seem to be a serious contender in the West. They have been ending teams streaks and have six straight wins at home. A quick glance at their schedule and you can see they have the potential to go on a monster streak with the lousy teams they play.
3.) San Antonio Spurs- They seem to be borrowing the Utah Jazz’s blueprint for success, go down by at least 15 points and comeback to win the game in the fourth quarter. Four wins this week have come when they were trailing and they have now matched the team’s best start through 20 games. I said this last week and I’ll say it again GO AWAY.
4.) Orlando Magic- The NBA season had started about a month ago but flu season is just hitting Orlando. They’ve been hit by a serious virus and multiple players have been missing games while recovering, what they can be proud of? Their still 15-5.
5.) Utah Jazz- Great point guard, great coach and a deep team are things a lot of people overlooked when deciding the fate of the Jazz and Deron Williams seems to be on a mission to prove every one wrong. An early MVP candidate he seems poised to have a break through season.
