	TEAM (LAST WK)	REC.	BREAKDOWN
1	Boston (2)	32-6	Off: 110.5 (8), Def: 97.7 (1) -- As the Celtics start to look more and more human and as the trading deadline nears, the question of whether or not they need a backup point guard will become more and more relevant. Their starting point guard might be back today.
2	Phoenix (4)	29-12	Off: 114.5 (1), Def: 108.4 (20) -- With Sunday's blowout of the Nets, the Suns are now 15-2 against the Eastern Conference. Grant Hill should be back for tomorrow's game in Milwaukee, the start of a four-game trek through the Midwest.
3	L.A. Lakers (1)	26-12	Off: 111.8 (5), Def: 105.5 (6) -- So in the first game without Bynum, Kobe puts up 44 shots. Good thing he didn't stop at 43, or the Lakers might have lost. Their schedule this week (vs. DEN, @ SAS, @ DAL, vs. CLE) could affect the Pacific standings more than Thursday's loss to the Suns. Oh, and this won't help.
4	Dallas (3)	27-12	Off: 114.0 (2), Def: 107.8 (17) -- The Mavs have won eight of their last nine, but Avery Johnson is still tinkering with his rotation. It's all about the long term goal.
5	New Orleans (8)	27-12	Off: 110.1 (10), Def: 104.2 (4) -- The Hornets are in the midst of a stretch where they play nine of 11 at home, and they've won their last three games at New Orleans Arena by an average of 28.3 points. Chris Paul has recorded double-doubles in eight of his last nine games and he scored 32 in the only one he didn't.

	TEAM (LAST WK)	REC.	BREAKDOWN
6	Detroit (5)	29-12	Off: 112.6 (4), Def: 103.8 (3) -- The Pistons have now lost five of their last eight (starting with that loss to the Celtics) and are, for some reason, 0-3 against the Bulls. Both the offense (103.2) and the defense (109.5) have been issues over the eight games. Diagnosis: General lethargy.
7	Golden State (10)	25-17	Off: 111.7 (6), Def: 109.7 (24) -- Maybe we should include the Warriors in our top-of-the-West analysis. They're .686 (24-11) with Stephen Jackson, which would put them ahead of the Lakers and Spurs.
8	San Antonio (6)	25-13	Off: 110.9 (7), Def: 104.5 (5) -- Here's why you worry as a Spurs fan: Of the five top contenders in the West, they've got the most road games remaining (26) and they've got the worst road record (6-9). Of course, there are several reasons (starting with No. 21) why you don't worry.
9	Portland (7)	24-16	Off: 109.5 (13), Def: 108.0 (19) -- In his Orlando game recap, Dave from Blazer's Edge points out the Blazers' inability to defend the paint. They're allowing .47 points in the paint per possession, which is the third worst rate in the league. Not coincidentally, the only four losses they've suffered over the last 23 games have come against teams (Utah, Toronto, Boston and Orlando) with All-Star bigs.
10	Washington (9)	21-17	Off: 110.0 (11), Def: 107.3 (15) -- A year ago, Caron Butler was ecstatic when he heard he would be an All-Star for the first time. This year, he doesn't even need to watch the show. He's the biggest lock in the East to be selected as a reserve.
11	Denver (11)	24-15	Off: 108.7 (X), Def: 105.6 (8) -- The Nuggets have been terrific at home, but they've lost their last three road games. And their next three are at the Lakers (tonight, 10:30 p.m. ET, TNT), Mavs and Hornets.
12	Utah (13)	23-18	Off: 112.9 (3), Def: 107.8 (18) -- The Jazz have won seven of their last nine, but they've also lost 11 of their last 12 road games. They're 1 1/2 games out of the eighth spot in the West, and if they want to get there, they need to find a way to win on the road.
13	Orlando (14)	25-17	Off: 110.1 (9), Def: 107.0 (11) -- Have the Magic awoken from their funk with Saturday's win over the Blazers? We'll find out soon enough as three of their next four are against the Pistons (2) and Celtics.
14	Cleveland (16)	21-18	Off: 105.2 (19), Def: 107.5 (16) -- Winners of seven of their last eight and nine of their last 11, the Cavs are hitting their stride. Larry Hughes still can't make a shot, but putting him in the starting lineup has helped key the turnaround.
15	Toronto (12)	22-19	Off: 109.6 (12), Def: 107.3 (14) -- A couple of you wrote in about Andrea Bargnani (shooting 6-for-30 over the last five games) for last week's mailbag and I didn't get the chance to respond, but it seems pretty clear to me that it's a confidence issue. With players that young, confidence is going to waver a lot and maybe benching him early in the season affected him more than he'll ever admit to. That's why guys like Chris Paul and Brandon Roy are so special. They had confidence from Day 1 and never lost it.
16	Houston (15)	21-19	Off: 105.8 (17), Def: 103.7 (2) -- On Tuesday (after a loss to the Sixers), Fran Blinebury wrote, "You can give up on this season. The Rockets have." On Saturday (after three days off), Tracy McGrady returns to the lineup and the Rockets beat the Spurs.
17	Charlotte (19)	16-24	Off: 104.8 (22), Def: 109.0 (21) -- The Bobcats had a 3-1 week, including wins over the Nuggets and Magic. But now, the Spurs and Mavs come to town. And after that, they hit the road for the rest of the season (slight exaggeration).
18	Sacramento (21)	17-22	Off: 106.8 (16), Def: 109.9 (25) -- With Martin, Bibby and Artest back, the Kings are like a whole new team, and they've won five of their last seven, showing marked improvement on both ends of the floor.
19	Indiana (20)	18-23	Off: 105.6 (18), Def: 107.1 (12) -- The Pacers are now 5-3 without Jermaine O'Neal, and that's just how they might have to play the rest of the season.
20	Chicago (22)	14-21	Off: 104.0 (25), Def: 107.0 (10) -- Seven of the next eight for the Bulls are very winnable. If they don't go at least 6-2, then I might start reconsidering my prediction* that they would win the East.
21	New York (25)	13-27	Off: 104.9 (21), Def: 111.7 (28) -- The Knicks have won four of their last five and Nate Robinson is a +50 and has a 4.14 assist-turnover ration over that stretch. Now, if they beat the Celtics today ...
22	New Jersey (17)	18-22	Off: 103.2 (26), Def: 109.2 (22) -- The underachieving continues as the Nets have dropped five straight and six of their last seven. You would think that something has to change ... soon. Peter Vecsey has a few suggestions.
23	Atlanta (18)	17-19	Off: 104.6 (23), Def: 105.6 (7) -- The Hawks currently hold the seventh spot in the East, and Sekou Smith isn't afraid to tell you that isn't exactly a good spot to be in, and adjustments need to be made to improve their standing. After hosting the Blazers today, Atlanta heads West for the first time this season.
24	Philadelphia (24)	16-25	Off: 104.1 (24), Def: 107.3 (13) -- Young Thaddeus Young is starting to look like a player. He's been getting regular burn (21.8 MPG) over the last nine games and is averaging 9.3 points and 4.6 boards while shooting .554 from the field over that stretch.
25	Milwaukee (23)	16-24	Off: 105.1 (20), Def: 111.4 (27) -- At halftime against the Warriors on Saturday, Michael Redd had 20 points on 9-for-15 shooting and the Bucks were down one. Redd took just three shots in the second half and the Bucks lost by 20. "I just stood around, pretty much, patient, just waiting," Redd said afterwards.
26	L.A. Clippers (27)	12-24	Off: 101.2 (29), Def: 106.4 (9) -- When Sam Cassell (32 in Tuesday's win over the Suns) and Corey Maggette (31 in Saturday's win over the Nets) go off, the Clippers are dangerous. Of course, what the Clippers are doing on the court isn't really the story these days.
27	Memphis (26)	11-29	Off: 107.7 (15), Def: 112.0 (29) -- Damon Stoudamire's days in Memphis could be over soon, but after a 20-and-13 performance in Friday's win over the Sonics, Bobby Jones may be sticking around for a while.
28	Seattle (28)	9-31	Off: 100.6 (30), Def: 109.6 (23) -- After a 6-8 December, the Sonics have yet to win in 2008. But seven of their nine January games have been on the road, and the other two were against Dallas and the Lakers. After today's game in Houston, they've got seven straight at home.
29	Minnesota (29)	5-34	Off: 102.4 (28), Def: 113.0 (30) -- The Wolves had their second road win in their hands on Saturday, but those hands are a little slippery. And to top it off, Randy Foye's return has been delayed a bit.
30	Miami (30)	8-31	Off: 102.8 (27), Def: 110.2 (26) -- The streak is at 13 and the Heat may be looking at a winless January. The only winnable game looks to be this Saturday's game against the Pacers.

*And yes, that part about the reconsidering my Bulls prediction was a joke.

2007-08 Power Rankings: Week 12
RANK (LAST WK)		TEAM	REC.	COMMENT
	1 (1)	Celtics	32-6	It's the Celts' right to scoff at criticism of their depth, PG play and ability to (A) guard athletic swingmen and (B) score against zones. But facts is facts: Boston is playing only .500 ball, at 3-3, since winning in Detroit.
	2 (6)	Hornets	27-12	Don't know that we can make him the favorite, but Byron Scott has a real shot in the race to coach the West All-Stars in New Orleans. Which can only count as more evidence that Chris Paul should be starting in that game.
	3 (3)	Mavericks	27-12	With the Suns' D'Antoni ineligible and Phil's Lakers banged up, New Orleans native Avery Johnson is suddenly the guy most likely to prevent B-Scott from coaching the West, at 15-4 since Dallas' worrying 12-8 start.
	4 (7)	Suns	29-12	Big weekend in the desert. First Sarver announces that Amare and Marion ''are just flat-out not getting traded.'' The Suns then stabilize further by routing New Jersey to complete a stretch without Grant Hill at 5-2.
	5 (2)	Pistons	29-12	It's not just Boston wobbling in the wake of the last Beasts of the East showdown. The Pistons have since lost in New York and Chicago and at home to Sacramento to fall to 5-5 in January after a 15-2 December.
	6 (8)	Warriors	25-17	The Warriors were one hideous quarter in Indiana away from sweeping a four-game trip. Now to see if they can capitalize on a cushy schedule between now and March 4, with all of three road games in that span.
	7 (4)	Lakers	26-12	You'll recall what injuries did to last season's Lakers after a similar 26-13 start. So maybe all these injuries (Bynum, Mihm and now Ariza) are just another chance for these Lakers to prove how much they've grown.
	8 (5)	Spurs	25-13	We have to violate our own edict about never dropping these Spurs below No. 5. The defending champs left us with zero choice by losing their last seven games -- yes, seven -- against teams with winning records.
	9 (9)	Trail Blazers	24-16	With two stops left, Portland is a passable 2-3 on the trip expected to be the Blazers' downfall. So how can you be so sure they're the team -- now 19-4 since Dec. 2, remember -- that will fall out of the West's top eight?
	10 (15)	Cavaliers	21-18	The committee (of one) certainly can't condone LeBron's way-too-cavalier attitude about speeding. But apart from that and his free-throw shooting, LBJ has been irresistible in 2008, averaging (yikes) 33, 10 and 7.
	11 (14)	Wizards	21-17	The surprises just keep coming from the Wiz. They've held four opponents below 90 points in this 6-3 month and they're up to 18-12 minus Arenas after going 5-10 in games without Gil in the previous two seasons.
	12 (11)	Nuggets	24-15	In yet another injury-filled, what-next season for the Nuggets, not even a previously reliable strategy worked in Charlotte or Atlanta. After going 11-1 when Melo scored 30 or more, they lost in both places when he did it.
	13 (12)	Jazz	23-18	Since we're always talking about Dwight Howard's double-doubles (37) or Al Jefferson's (29) or Chris Kaman's (27), we should probably mention Utah's Boozer, who's quietly up to a healthy No. 3 on the list with 28.
	14 (13)	Magic	25-17	Gulp. The Magic's recent slide was worse than we thought. Saturday's much-needed home victory over Portland was just their second victory against a team with a winning record since that 16-4 start.
	15 (16)	Rockets	21-19	Houston's latest source of frustration: The Rockets insist they don't want to move McGrady and intend to give T-Mac and Yao one full season with Adelman before deciding anything . . . and no one believes them.
	16 (14)	Raptors	22-19	Bosh generally gets so little spotlight that you've probably heard more about the All-Star video he made than the fact he's had more 30-point games this month (four) than he had in the first two combined (three).
	17 (19)	Kings	17-22	We see it every season and the Kings are this season's nominee: One scrappy team out West that can torture itself with this less-than-comforting thought: ''We'd be a playoff team for sure if we were in the East.''
	18 (20)	Bobcats	16-24	His Airness simply strolls through the locker room after a 1-7 skid and the Bobcats respond with a 5-3 upturn that includes a triumph in Boston and two OT defeats. So is it so bad, MJ, to be seen with your team?
	19 (18)	Hawks	18-19	Here's a crucial stretch of the season for the Hawks, given their well-chronicled road woes. They haven't won a game outside Atlanta since before Christmas and start a five-game trip out West on Wednesday.
	20 (17)	Nets	18-22	Anyone else think J-Kidd's early season frustration is about to be rekindled? The Nets prepped for a six-game trip by losing to the Knicks for the third time this season, which last happened when Steph was a Net.
	21 (23)	Bulls	16-23	Is it just us or did the Bulls show more teamwork suspending Noah than we've seen from them all season? (Excluding, of course, all three games against Detroit, when they looked like the Bulls we were all expecting.)
	22 (24)	76ers	16-25	Last week might have been their big man's best week all season, with the Sixers confronted by Duncan, Yao, Garnett and Bosh in succession and coming away with two wins and three Dalembert double-doubles.
	23 (21)	Pacers	18-23	Harrison is suspended. Tinsley is either suspended or deactivated. And O'Neal is sidelined again by a bum knee, perhaps for the rest of the season. In other words, it's never Naptown when the Pacers are involved.
	24 (22)	Bucks	16-24	After that solid December in which he averaged 12 and 7 and shot 50 percent from the field, it looks as though Yi Jianlian has hit the Great Rookie Wall in January. This month he's at 8.5 ppg, 3.9 rpg and 36.3 percent.
	25 (26)	Clippers	12-24	One of our go-to Clips comments is no more. After falling short in its first 32 games, L.A. finally shot 50 percent from the field and then naturally did it in two straight games (against Dallas and Phoenix) to end the drought.
	26 (27)	Knicks	13-27	The Knicks have almost climbed out of the bottom five after stunningly winning four of five, so you know what's coming next. That's right: Joke after joke about Isiah Thomas getting another contract extension.
	27 (25)	Grizzlies	11-29	The Grizz have been in more nail-biters than anyone. But when you're 1-9 in a league-high 10 games decided by three points or less -- and 1-6 when Gay hits the 30-point plateau -- that only adds to the frustration.
	28 (28)	SuperSonics	9-31	After finishing the first Texas road trip of Durant's career, Seattle proceeds to a seven-game homestand. Miami plays six of its next seven games at home but against tougher comp. Which straggler halts its '08 hex first?
	29 (29)	Timberwolves	5-34	The Wolves have lost 16 road games in a row and remain on pace to finish 11-71. Somehow, though, they're only the third-sorriest squad that we've seen in 2008 -- at 1-8 -- with Miami and Seattle both 0-9 in the New Year.
	30 (30)	Heat	8-32	If you can't stomach watching a fall from grace that's starting to look as unprecedented as Miami's comeback in the 2006 Finals, just pop in the newest DVD on the market . . . ''Undeniable: The Rise of Dwyane Wade.''

This week's high riser: Bobcats (No. 19 from 24) and Knicks (No. 22 from 27)
This week's big drop: Spurs (No. 11 from 6) Pacers (No. 24 from 19)

NBA Power Rankings
Rank	LW		Team
1	1		Boston Celtics With their eyes on the Super Bowl-bound Patriots, some New Englanders might not have noticed that their NBA team lost three of four during a recent stretch. For the record, it was just a blip. Kevin Garnett & Co. bounced back with home wins against the Blazers and Sixers.
2	2		Dallas Mavericks Last Monday's loss at Sacramento snapped their seven-game winning streak, but they too got right back on track with Saturday's win over the Sonics. They even dusted off Trenton Hassell (six points, four rebounds, three assists in 19 minutes) as Avery Johnson continues tweaking his rotation.
3	7		Phoenix Suns Are Shawn Marion and Amaré Stoudemire on the trade block? They're not, according to managing partner Robert Sarver, who told the Arizona Repbulic on Saturday that the Suns will not make a major move before the Feb. 21 trade deadline. Meanwhile, Sunday's win over the Nets was their third straight and sixth in eight games.
4	4		New Orleans Hornets Ever since a 29-point home loss to the Lakers on Jan. 9, they have been crushing foes. Saturday's 112-84 rout of the Bobcats made it four straight and 12 of 14 overall, as they continue to impress at both ends. "That [defeat to L.A.] woke us up, and now other teams are paying for it," center Tyson Chandler said.
5	9		Golden State Warriors They won at Milwaukee on Saturday to finish 3-1 on their road trip, improve to 14-10 away from Oracle Arena and make it five wins in their last six games overall. They already have two more road victories than they did all last season, and their 25-17 record was their best at this point of the season since 1993-94.
6	3		Detroit Pistons Once again they seem to be having trouble staying motivated. Saturday's loss in Chicago was their third in four games, following upset losses to the Knicks and Kings. Maybe two meetings this week with the Magic (Monday and Friday) will get their full attention again.
7	5		Los Angeles Lakers Kwame Brown was booed unmercifully by the home crowd in last Thursday's loss to the Suns that snapped their seven-game winning streak. Don't L.A. fans realize that with Andrew Bynum (knee) out for two months and a difficult schedule ahead, the Lakers are going to need a confident Brown?
8	8		Portland Trail Blazers They might have been a bit tired in Saturday's loss at Orlando that left them 2-3 on their road trip and cost them a share of first place in the Northwest Division. But they should be reenergized for Wednesday's showdown in New Orleans with the equally surprising Hornets.
9	13		Cleveland Cavaliers OK, so it won't make up for last year's Finals sweep, but they had to feel good about last Thursday's win over the Spurs at San Antonio. Better yet, it was their seventh triumph in eight games as LeBron James (32.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, 9.5 assists, 2.4 steals over that span) is heating up again.
10	12		Houston Rockets In his first game since Dec. 23, Tracy McGrady had nine points on 4-of-12 shooting to help them defeat the Spurs on Saturday and snap a two-game losing skid. With T-Mac back from his knee problems and two games against the Sonics this week, they should be able to build on the momentum.

NBA Power Rankings
Rank	LW		Team
11	6		San Antonio Spurs Sorry, but even the defending champs don't get a free pass in these rankings. Saturday's loss at Houston was their fourth in their last six games as they continue to struggle against quality foes. In fact, they haven't defeated a team above .500 since Dec. 15 (Nuggets).
12	10		Denver Nuggets While Nenê is out indefinitely while recovering from surgery to remove a testicular tumor, they've also been missing Kenyon Martin because of a staph infection. They're hoping Martin can get back soon to help shore up their frontcourt and a defense that has been shaky of late.
13	11		Utah Jazz Last Thursday's loss at Denver was their fourth straight on the road and dropped their overall mark to 6-15 away from home. Meanwhile, they are 17-3 at EnergySolutions Arena. "Somewhere there has to be a passion to play this game on the road," coach Jerry Sloan said. "If it's a job for you, why do it?"
14	17		Orlando Magic Even without Jameer Nelson (foot), they cooled off the Blazers on Saturday to make it two of three after that 1-5 start in 2008. They hope to have Nelson back for this week's meetings with the Pistons, though reserve Carlos Arroyo no doubt will be ready to fill in against his old team.
15	15		Washington Wizards Nobody's saying they are a better team without the injured Gilbert Arenas, but their defense sure has improved this season. They entered the week ranked 11th in points allowed (96.8) and eighth in field-goal-percentage defense (44.5). Last year they ranked 28th and 27th, respectively, in those categories.
16	14		Toronto Raptors Just when it looked as if they might be ready to get on a roll, they lost at Philadelphia on Saturday. The good news is that Chris Bosh (30 points or more in four of his last six games) seems to be fully recovered from the foot and knee ailments that slowed him earlier this season.
17	21		Sacramento Kings With Mike Bibby and Ron Artest having joined Kevin Martin in returning from injury, first-year coach Reggie Theus finally has his main core together. He has to like what he's seen so far, as they won at Detroit and Indiana to make it five victories in their last seven games.
18	18		Atlanta Hawks It's fitting that snow fell on Atlanta over the weekend, since the Hawks are in a cold spell. Last Friday's loss at Toronto was their second straight and seventh in 10 games overall. With the Blazers up next (Monday), followed by a five-game Western road trip, it might take a while for them to heat up again.
19	24		Charlotte Bobcats They downed the Grizzlies on Saturday for their fifth victory in the last eight games (with two of the losses coming in OT). During that span they are averaging 103.1 points on 46.7 percent shooting, with Emeka Okafor and Nazr Mohammed combining to average 25 points.
20	16		New Jersey Nets Sunday's loss at Phoenix was their fifth straight and dropped them to 0-2 on their six-game Western road trip. Their offense ranks 28th in scoring (93.4) and 27th in field goal percentage (43.4), but it's not their only problem. When they do score, they don't defend well enough.

NBA Power Rankings
Rank	LW		Team
21	22		Milwaukee Bucks They've been going to Andrew Bogut more, and the results have been somewhat promising. In the last eight games, the third-year center and former No. 1 overall pick has averaged 20.4 points on 64.6 percent shooting and 10.1 rebounds. More important, they won four of the eight.
22	27		New York Knicks They beat the Heat on Saturday for their fourth victory in the last five games, a stretch that coincided with Stephon Marbury's decision to shut it down to undergo ankle surgery. Coincidence? Perhaps. But they definitely have looked like a friskier, happier bunch of late.
23	20		Chicago Bulls New coach Jim Boylan has given them more freedom on offense, as evidenced by their 102.4-point average in his reign (they were averaging 91.5 points under Scott Skiles). But their defense has actually been worse, and they split their first 14 games since the coaching change.
24	19		Indiana Pacers Jermaine O'Neal will be out two weeks with a bruised knee, another blow for a reeling team that has lost five of seven. They're hoping Troy Murphy can step up this week for important road contests against fellow Eastern playoff hopefuls Philadelphia, Chicago and Milwaukee.
25	23		Philadelphia 76ers Samuel Dalembert continues to be one of their bright spots. The sixth-year center had 14 points and 13 rebounds in Saturday's win over the Raptors, his seventh double-double in the last 10 games. For the season he is averaging career highs in points (11.7), boards (10.1) and blocks (2.5).
26	25		Memphis Grizzlies They can blame the schedule for part of the reason for their 3-12 stretch. In that span they lost to the Pistons, Hornets, Rockets, Spurs, Celtics, Warriors, Cavs and Lakers (twice). With seven of their next eight at home, starting Monday against the Bulls, they hope to see better results.
27	26		Los Angeles Clippers Victories over the Suns and Nets (the latter in OT) last week brought a ray of sunshine in their otherwise dreary season. Sam Cassell (32 points vs. Suns) appears to be coming out of his shooting slump, while Chris Kaman (career-high nine blocks vs. Nets) continues to bolster his All-Star case.
28	29		Seattle SuperSonics Kevin Durant was yanked from the game at one point in Saturday's loss to the Mavs after forcing a wild three-pointer, and wound up tying a season low with just six points. Worse, it was his team's 10th straight defeat, matching the single-season franchise record held by the 1968-69 squad.
29	30		Minnesota Timberwolves Talk about a great week for Twin Cities sports fans. First, the Packers go down in defeat. Then, the Timberwolves move out of the Power Rankings basement. Now if they could somehow pull off the upset Friday against KG's Celtics in Boston.
30	28		Miami Heat Hard to believe any team could fall below the Wolves. Then again, it's hard to believe any team with Shaquille O'Neal and Dwyane Wade could lose 13 straight games. That's how bad things have become in South Beach.

3개 사이트 모두 1등과 꼴찌는 동일하군요.. 시즌 전에는 이 두팀이 동부 결승에서 자웅을 겨룰 것이다라고 예상한 전문가도 있었던 것 같은데요...
