After a week break, the NBA Power Rankings are back with a brawl and a blockbuster. It was an interesting week for the Nuggets, who came out anything but Golden. However, through all the blundering of two weeks, the Knicks cannot be denied their post.
Two teams are surging through their conferences, and they have also surged to the top of my NBA Power Rankings, as the West is tight, and the East is pathetic.
The NBA is in the final stages of warming up for the proving ground stages of the season. Some teams are out to prove they are for real, while other upstarts will fade back into mediocrity.
With a week of road trips, the West certainly solidified itself as the better conference, thrashing Eastern teams wherever the games were played.
Several upstart teams have taken nosedives while the West has several teams in for showdowns to determine the cream of the crop.
Just one week into the season, the NBA is full of surprises both good and bad. Some teams are making their run at glory, while there are playoff teams from last season searching for a win.
The NBA starts up tonight with two good matchups — Chicago at Miami and Phoenix at LA Lakers. But before we the season tips off, let’s take a look at how each team stacks up. This year, Zach Crizer will be doing the weekly NBA Power Rankings. Check out the rankings below and leave your feedback in the comments.
