High risers

Kobe, Yao elevate their game to challenge for No. 1

It's not hard to notice a theme to the NBA's version of March Madness, one that sees even the best of its players "pacing" (read: not showing up) for entire quarters at a time as the season drones on and a nation's eyes focuses on Kansas and Ohio State. Luckily for you, dear reader, my tuner doesn't pick up CBS (seriously), I have no idea why Boston and Milwaukee aren't playing their starters, and One Shining Moment sounds like the official name of the #42 entrée (scallops and some sort of lobster sauce, heavenly) at my local Chinese eatery.

All statistics and records through March 22.

NBA Player Power Rankings
Rank	LW		Player
1	1		Dirk Nowitzki The Mavs have won four straight since the team's 43-day win streak was extinguished by a pair of losses, and Nowitzki has been his same borderline-dominant/definitely MVP-worthy self within the confines of the relatively paltry winning outburst. He average 26.3 points on 51 percent shooting, with nine rebounds and some sound team defense -- especially in a game-deciding run over the Knicks last Tuesday.
2	4		Kobe Bryant In spite of our misgivings of his interest on the defensive side of the basketball, Dr. Bryant had grabbed a secure hold of the No. 2 spot in the rankings even before his 60-point outing against the Grizzlies on Thursday night. With Luke Walton and Lamar Odom struggling to hit from the outside due to aching extremities, Bryant's recent scoring outburst (175 points in three games, three wins) was badly needed in order to keep the Lakers ahead of the surging Nuggets in the Western playoff bracket. Walton, especially, has been hurting from outside: the Lakers forward hit 16 three-pointers in the season's first month, and he's hit 17 in the days since.
3	--		Yao Ming People tend to forget just how dominant Yao was in the season's first two months, even when he was turning the ball over too much, because the big guy was doing his damage during football season, and for a Rockets team struggling to find its way. Since his return, he's more or less picked up right where he left off in late December, averaging a mind-boggling 21.8 points, 9.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists in only 30.3 minutes a game in 10 contests. That's All-Star worthy production in about three-quarters of the time All-Stars usually spend on the court, while ostensibly rehabilitating in time for the playoffs.
4	2		Tim Duncan Duncan came through with as good a game we've seen this season on Wednesday night, torching the Pacers for 27 points, seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in only 29 minutes in the 18-point San Antonio win. The Spurs are rolling, and it's still hard to see any team taking four out of seven games from this group during the playoffs, but Duncan's free-throw stroke is starting to desert him. He's shot just 57 percent from the charity stripe in March.
5	3		Kevin Garnett Still leading his Timberwolves in points, rebounds, blocks, steals, and just a half-assist off the team lead with 4.1 (on a team that features about a half-dozen converted point guards in its rotation ... pathetic), KG is also a defensive hound who appears to be the only guy trying at times. The Timberwolves were fifth in the NBA in overall defensive efficiency a week before Dwane Casey was fired, and now they've fallen to 18th under coach Randy Wittman as the roster full of shot-happy guards readies its offseason plans. Pardon our redundancy, but that's pathetic.
6	5		Steve Nash After seeing his scoring average slip in January and February, Nash has been looking for his own shot more often in March, averaging 20 points on 55 percent shooting, while his assists per game average (9.9) threatens to dip his monthly average into single-digits for the first time all season. Of course, the preceding sentence implies that Nash is only looking for his own shot because he was worried about his scoring average. Not true -- the Suns have won eight of 10 this month because of his aggressive tone, because Nash knows exactly what his team needs, what the play-after-next is going to be (nice pass followed by a nice finish), and what you're going to have for breakfast tomorrow (Special K, with banana). In basketball, there's usually less than meets the eye. Not true with this guy.
7	8		LeBron James The Eastern Conference's likely Player of the Month has given his Cavaliers a brilliant bit of basketball in March, attacking more in transition and flourishing alongside a re-born Larry Hughes, now entrenched as Cleveland's starting point guard. LeBron hasn't improved his footwork or his ability to score without the ball, but he has re-introduced the sort of production he offered in 2005-06, an MVP-caliber year that the Cavs are chuffed to be reminded of. LBJ is averaging 32.7 points on 50 percent shooting (and a solid 74.2 mark from the charity stripe) this month, alongside 7.7 rebounds, 6.5 assists, and 3.1 combined blocks/rebounds.
8	7		Tracy McGrady A sign that has to warm the hearts of pro hoop junkies both near and far from the Republic of Texas: McGrady is still playing inspired, creative basketball, even with Yao Ming camped out in the lane. After Houston's convincing win over the Pistons on Thursday night (the Rockets won by six, but led by double figures most of the night), McGrady was left averaging 22.8 points and 7.4 assists in the 10 games since the center's return -- all in Jeff Van Gundy's slowed-down offense, the pace of which prevents the sort of dual 30-point nights you'd see coming from teammates out of Denver or Phoenix.
9	10		Chris Bosh On Feb. 27, Bosh's Raptors took on Dwight Howard's Orlando Magic in Toronto, and though the home team escaped with a 113-103 win, the game was a lot closer than the box score would indicate. Howard missed just one of 14 shots, finishing with 32 points and nine rebounds, while Bosch gave the winning team 41 points, eight rebounds and just one turnover in 45 minutes. With the two young outfits meeting again in Toronto on Wednesday, one would think Howard ready to make amends and grab a road win (or, at least, outscore Bosh on this occasion). Not happening: Howard got his 17 and 12, but Bosh went off for 34 points and 16 rebounds in the win. Even scarier? Bosh doesn't turn 23 until this weekend.
10	6		Amare Stoudemire Stoudemire's production has declined a bit over the last three weeks, though it appears as if a lack of focus is behind the rough patch, as opposed to issues with his surgically repaired knees. The former is no picnic to deal with for Suns coach Mike D'Antoni, but he at least can bank on his prodigy perking up a bit as the postseason approaches, whereas knee problems aren't as easily exting

Rank	LW		Player
11	14		Pau Gasol Gasol's Grizzlies are hopeless, but he continues to work his tail off and throw out great numbers for a squad that really doesn't want to be mentioned or thought of until mid-May. Gasol has no earthly reason for being out on the court in late-March (beyond that multi-million dollar contract, but we're beyond that at this point, aren't we?) but the hirsute Spaniard is playing more than 38 minutes a night for Memphis, averaging 23.6 points and 10.6 rebounds on the month.
12	18		Shaquille O'Neal We don't know when the Miami Heat are going to fall back to earth, probably when the team's heaps of poorly conceived 25-footers stop falling through the goal, but we are enjoying the renaissance of this senior set. For the first time since last spring, veterans like O'Neal, Antoine Walker, Jason Williams and Eddie Jones actually believe in themselves -- and while the results (seriously, these guys take some bad shots ... and they go in) aren't much to look at, the wins are piling up. O'Neal's presence down low provides spacing, strong interior play (20 points, 7.5 rebounds in just 28.8 minutes per game in March); most important, his presence inspires confidence in this well-compensated crew of "defending champions."
13	12		Gilbert Arenas Gilbert was almost comically bad in his team's loss to the Trail Blazers on Tuesday night, shooting 4 of 16 from the floor (one of the "makes" came off a Travis Outlaw goaltend on a floater that had no chance of going in) and badly whiffing on a potential game-winning shot as the buzzer sounded. Of course, 24 hours later, Agent Zero couldn't help but down the SuperSonics with a buzzer-beating drive. Arenas has made more game-winners than he's missed this year, and Washington is still holding off the Heat in the Southeast despite a host of season-long injury concerns.
14	11		Elton Brand Yes, it was the tail end of a back-to-back, and the final game of a six-game road trip that saw the Clippers take three contests, but no team with Brand and Corey Maggette should be barely beating (by one) a Bucks team without three of its projected season-starters (Andrew Bogut, Charlie Villanueva, Bobby Simmons). And while the Clipper players have underwhelmed season-long, we've got to question some of the decisions made by the men in suits. For starters, why is Brand afforded just 56 shots (making 33, 59 percent) over the road trip's last four games? And why is Quinton Ross (four points in 33 minutes against Milwaukee) still playing as many minutes as Maggette (22 points, five assists in 32 minutes, same game)?
15	20		Carlos Boozer Boozer's minutes have been increasing consistently since his return from a fractured left tibia, and he's back to giving the Jazz regular double-doubles with the occasional nifty pass from the high post thrown in. This month, he's average 17.8 points and 12.2 rebounds in just 33.6 minutes; Boozer even had the energy to register four blocks between March 5 and St. Patrick's Day, after going more than 2-1/2 months without a defensive rejection.
16	9		Manu Ginobili A bum week for Ginobili, who missed 20 of 25 shots from the floor (including 12 of 14 from long range) over his last three games, while averaging just 9.3 points and 4.7 assists in nearly 30 minutes a contest. The Spurs lost two of three, rebounding with an 18-point win over the Pacers on Wednesday after losses to the Bucks (ouch) and Celtics (seriously? They'll spot you 12 points). Ginobili was owed the week off -- his sterling play in limited minutes has been a driving force behind the 47-20 record.
17	15		Shawn Marion The Suns are still winning -- big shock -- and Marion's defense is still as good as it has been all year, but he has offered a rather mediocre March offensively, averaging 11.8 points despite playing over 36 minutes a night, as his three-point and free-throw shooting percentages have fallen off considerably. He's still rebounding well (20 a game) and blocking more shots (2.1 a contest this month), but the Suns can't afford to have a moody Marion unsure of his perimeter game as they enter the postseason.
18	--		Allen Iverson Iverson (and, to a lesser extent, Carmelo Anthony) are playing better, but the real impetus behind Denver's little hot streak (winners in five of its last six games) is increased production from the also-rans that dot the Nugget roster. Linas Kleiza, for instance, has been spoon-fed open looks from long range since November, through various Nugget roster permutations. He's just now decided to start nailing shots -- 48 percent from behind the three-point arc in March, after languishing in the low-30s for the season's first four months.
19	17		Carmelo Anthony Denver's biggest issue, if you don't mind the extended discussion over the course of two player rankings, might just be getting coach George Karl to the offseason he so richly deserves. It's been a next-to impossible year for Karl on the court, with the suspensions and injuries and the massive roster upheaval -- and that's not even taking into consideration the significant off-court worry. This all seemed to come to a head in Thursday's loss to Chicago, as coaches on both sides looked like they wanted to strangle the nearest diminutive guard they could get their hands around. With Anthony producing an embarrassing effort on the boards (just two rebounds in 39 minutes), Karl's pointed benching his young star for the bulk of the early fourth quarter probably didn't make much of an impact.
20	-		Chris Paul After an uneasy return to action following the All-Star break, including a six-game losing streak that nearly knocked the Hornets out of the playoff hunt in the West, Paul has taken the offensive reins and currently has his outfit just a game out of the playoff bracket. New Orleans/Oklahoma City has won three of its last five, with Paul averaging 20.8 points (on 53 percent shooting), and the second-year guard has averaged nearly nine assists and two steals over the run. And yet, a hellish six-day run waits: three home games against the Lakers, Rockets, and Mavericks, followed by a trip to San Antonio on the tail end of a back-to-back.
On the cusp: Zach Randolph, Dwight Howard, Michael Redd
