	TEAM (LAST WK)	REC.	BREAKDOWN
1	Boston (4)	36-8	Off: 111.1 (10), Def: 98.8 (1) -- KG probably won't play in tomorrow's game in Cleveland, but it's not like the Celtics are desperate to get him back. They're 2-1 without the MVP (in my humble opinion) and are comfortably ahead of the Pistons for the top spot in the East. Ray Allen's ankles might be an issue though.
2	Detroit (5)	34-13	Off: 112.6 (6), Def: 103.8 (2) -- It's a good week in Detroit when you beat the Lakers, blow out the Mavs, and produce this headline. With a home game against Blazers (Friday) being the toughest matchup, the Pistons have a good shot at going into the break on a 10-game winning streak.
3	New Orleans (1)	32-14	Off: 111.7 (7), Def: 104.9 (5) -- After winning nine straight and taking over the top spot, the Hornets have dropped two in a row, two of their worst defensive performances of the season. And with games in Utah and Phoenix up next, they're in danger of slipping a few spots in the West.
4	Phoenix (2)	33-14	Off: 114.0 (1), Def: 107.8 (15) -- Don't expect the Suns to change things up. Steve Kerr likes their continuity. And who's to argue? Well, maybe if they didn't blow it against the Spurs on Thursday.
5	Dallas (3)	31-15	Off: 112.9 (3), Def: 108.1 (18) -- The Mavs can deny any interest in Jason Kidd all they want, but nobody's going to believe them until after 3 p.m. ET on Feb. 21, even if he clearly doesn't fit their style of play offensively.

	TEAM (LAST WK)	REC.	BREAKDOWN
6	L.A. Lakers (7)	30-16	Off: 112.6 (5), Def: 106.5 (9) -- All eyes will be on New Jersey on Tuesday as Pau Gasol makes his Laker debut. They could probably use him more defensively than offensively, as they've struggled on that end (111.0 rating) since Andrew Bynum went out.
7	Utah (9)	30-18	Off: 113.3 (2), Def: 107.0 (10) -- The Jazz have won eight straight and 14 of their last 16. The biggest improvement has come on the defensive end, where they have a 104.6 rating over the last 16 and a 102.1 rating during the streak. Tonight's matchup with the Hornets is a must-see.
8	Golden State (8)	29-19	Off: 112.6 (4), Def: 110.0 (24) -- It will be a few more days before we get to see how Chris Webber fits in. The Warriors are in the middle of five straight days off. The C-Webb experiment begins Thursday against the Bulls (10:30 p.m. ET, TNT).
9	San Antonio (6)	29-16	Off: 109.5 (12), Def: 104.4 (4) -- The Spurs are 12-13 over their last 25 games, but the Tony Parker situation has to be more of a concern at this point. Even with the addition of Damon Stoudamire, they need a healthy Parker.
10	Cleveland (10)	26-20	Off: 106.5 (17), Def: 107.2 (11) -- The Cavs have lost only three of their last 15 games. One was a heartbreaker to the Suns and another was Thursday's loss in Seattle without LeBron. Tomorrow's matchup with the Celtics has the words "measuring stick" written all over it.
11	Orlando (11)	31-18	Off: 111.5 (8), Def: 107.8 (14) -- Winners of seven of their last eight, the Magic play their final five pre-break games at home, but it's a touch stretch, with Dallas, the Lakers, Cleveland and Denver visiting.
12	Denver (12)	28-18	Off: 108.1 (14), Def: 105.6 (6) -- The Nuggets are talking about running the table going into the All-Star break, which would give them an eight-game streak, but they haven't put more than three wins together since mid-November. With the next two coming against the teams their battling in the Northwest (at Portland tonight and home against Utah on Wednesday), just making it four straight would be huge.
13	Portland (13)	27-19	Off: 108.9 (13), Def: 108.0 (16) -- Since they ran off 17 of 18, the Blazers are 5-6, but the losses have all been to quality teams. Still, they're now sitting out of the playoffs in the Western Conference.
14	Sacramento (17)	22-24	Off: 107.9 (15), Def: 111.0 (25) -- There have been 19 20-20 games in the NBA this season and Brad Miller has two in his last three games. Suddenly, you're looking at the Kings' roster and realizing that this is a pretty good team. Add them to the "Haves" group.
15	Houston (16)	27-20	Off: 106.3 (18), Def: 103.8 (3) -- The Rockets' offense started to improve midway through Tracy McGrady's 11-game absence and it has continued to be strong with him back in the lineup. Their rating is a solid 109.8 over the last 15 games, and they're 12-3 over that stretch.
16	Toronto (14)	25-21	Off: 111.3 (9), Def: 108.0 (17) -- If Kobe's 46 on Friday has got you down, Raptor fans, just watch this. I can't wait until the 16th.
17	Washington (15)	24-22	Off: 109.6 (11), Def: 108.9 (21) -- The Wizards have lost three straight and five of their six games before the break are on the road. Staying above .500 will be tough.
18	Atlanta (22)	19-24	Off: 105.0 (21), Def: 106.5 (8) -- I was going to write something like, "With games against the Lakers, Cavs, Rockets and Pistons before the break, I would be impressed if the Hawks were still in seventh at All-Star." But then I remember that they could lose all those games and actually strengthen their hold on the spot the way the East is this year.
19	New Jersey (23)	20-27	Off: 103.5 (25), Def: 109.8 (22) -- Yes, the Nets' offense is bad. But as The Painted Area explains, the Nets' offense has never been all that great in since Jason Kidd arrived. The problem is that they used to be an elite defensive team, and now they are not.
20	Charlotte (18)	18-30	Off: 104.9 (22), Def: 109.9 (23) -- After starting their five-game trip with a win over the Clippers, the Bobcats have lost the last three by an average of 20.3 points, contributing to the cancellation of the Jeff McInnis experiment. The trip ends tonight in Phoenix.
21	Philadelphia (24)	18-29	Off: 105.1 (20), Def: 107.3 (12) -- After blowing out the Bucks on Wednesday, the Sixers got somewhat of a moral victory on Friday by hanging with the Magic. But Philly is just 7-21 against teams in our top 17, while they're 11-8 against the bottom 13.
22	Chicago (20)	18-28	Off: 102.5 (27), Def: 105.8 (7) -- Let's hear it Bulls fans. Which felt worse: Seeing your team lose to the Timberwolves by 16 on Wednesday or hearing that Pau Gasol got traded somewhere else?
23	Indiana (21)	19-29	Off: 106.1 (19), Def: 108.2 (19) -- The Pacers have lost six straight and 16 of their last 20. Wednesday's game in New York looks to be their only winnable one before the break.
24	New York (19)	14-33	Off: 104.9 (23), Def: 111.6 (28) -- The Knicks' five-game trip started out somewhat promising, with a two-point loss at Golden State. Then it went downhill from there, ending with a loss to the Sonics where Seattle native Nate Robinson missed all nine shots he took, including the potential game-winner with one second on the clock.
25	Minnesota (28)	10-36	Off: 103.2 (26), Def: 111.2 (27) -- Break up the Timberwolves (Oh wait, that already happened). They've won five of the last seven. KG returns on Friday (8 p.m. ET, ESPN).
26	Seattle (30)	12-35	Off: 101.1 (30), Def: 108.9 (20) -- Last week, I said that the Sonics "look to have an 0-for-January locked up." Then they beat the Spurs and Cavs, and started February off with a win over the Knicks. If you'd like me to predict losses for your team, just let me know.
27	Milwaukee (26)	18-30	Off: 104.7 (24), Def: 112.4 (29) -- You get the good with bad when you're missing Michael Redd. In the eight Redd-less games, the Bucks have a terrific defensive rating of 98.9. And they have an atrocious offensive rating of ... 98.9.
28	L.A. Clippers (27)	14-30	Off: 102.3 (29), Def: 107.7 (13) -- When your seven-game road trip begins with a 21-point loss in Minnesota...
29	Memphis (25)	13-34	Off: 107.4 (16), Def: 112.4 (30) -- Well, the upcoming draft class looks pretty promising. Of course, it's point guard heavy, and the Grizz already have three of those.
30	Miami (29)	9-36	Off: 102.3 (28), Def: 110.2 (26) -- It's a good thing we've all got this year's Dance Bracket (coming soon!) to look forward to.

Tune into "NBA Fastbreak" on ESPN to see this week's Army Power Rankings.

2007-08 Power Rankings: Week 14
RANK (LAST WK)		TEAM	REC.	COMMENT
	1 (5)	Pistons	34-13	The Pistons might not stay here long since it's so hard for them to maintain a regular-season fire. Yet they're the healthiest top team going and answered a brief 3-5 slump with wins over the Magic, Lakers and Mavs.
	2 (2)	Celtics	36-8	The Celts completed a back-to-Earth month on a high with the KG-less win over Dallas. But they were denied a return to No. 1 more because of Garnett's uncertain health than their 7-5 record since winning in Detroit.
	3 (1)	Hornets	32-14	Go ahead. We know nothing we can say will convince you otherwise, so blame us for jinxing the Hornets by bumping them up to No. 1 for the first time since the committee (of one) took over these rankings in 2002-03.
	4 (11)	Lakers	30-16	The steal, er, deal that envious execs and media types can't stop talking about -- Gasol for none of the Lakers' top 10 players -- was summed up best in all of three words by Dallas' Avery Johnson: ''Merry Christmas, L.A.''
	5 (10)	Jazz	30-18	On your eventual list of trade-deadline winners, don't forget to throw Utah on there just because the Kutcher, er, Korver trade was in December. The Jazz are 14-2 since and back where they belong in the West's top four.
	6 (4)	Suns	33-14	This week? With no more Super Bowl distractions? The locals are fretting about the Lakers' big trade, another torturous loss to San Antonio and the Suns' 5-8 record against the other nine West teams with winning records.
	7 (6)	Spurs	29-16	The performance in Phoenix was the first time in weeks that they've looked like the Spurs. But the usual concerns about age and athleticism and their January slump are all secondary to what's happening with Parker's health.
	8 (3)	Mavericks	31-15	Harris' injury is getting more pub than Dallas' tie with Utah for the league's best home record (20-3). But let's face it: There's only one story in Mavsland until Feb. 21 hits with J-Kidd still hoping for a trade here.
	9 (9)	Warriors	29-19	Of the 16 teams that would qualify for the playoffs if the season ended today, only one of them doesn't have an All-Star. Which we believe is actually great news for the Warriors, who thrive on the whole disrespect thing.
	10 (7)	Cavaliers	26-20	LeBron is making a hard MVP push . . . and luckily didn't sprain anything laughing at Donyell Marshall's unintentional striptease. But LBJ might have to pick it up another notch with Varejao and Pavlovic unavailable again.
	11 (12)	Magic	31-18	More evidence to support the idea that Hedo deserves an All-Star spot in the East more than, say, Atlanta's Joe Johnson: Orlando hasn't led its division this late in the season since Shaq's last season there in 1995-96.
	12 (15)	Rockets	27-20	Not much we can do to get Houston unstuck from its long stay at No. 10 in the West, but we can concede that we've had the Rockets too low lately. They're rolling on the road now and 7-1 since a bad loss to Philly.
	13 (8)	Trail Blazers	27-19	The roller coaster rolls on. After losing Oden, starting 5-12 and then going 17-1, Portland has hit a 5-6 dip. So while Rip City's team is still on pace for 48 wins, these guys would be in the lottery if the playoffs started today.
	14 (16)	Nuggets	28-18	Whether or not you share our views on Camby's All-Star worthiness, you have to like his honesty. Asked how the Nuggets resist greeting each new injury with a ''Why us'' lament, Camby said: ''We do say that.''
	15 (13)	Raptors	25-21	Stoudamire's return to Toronto would have been fitting in the season of Shaq-and-Penny and Webber-and-Nellie. But the Raps should be fine if T.J. Ford's return, as described by GM Colangelo, is ''no longer a matter of if.''
	16 (17)	Kings	22-24	With so many surprise teams in the West alone (Hornets, Lakers, Blazers) it's hard for the Kings to get any pub. But they're on the road back to relevancy whether or not they move Bibby or Artest before the deadline.
	17 (14)	Wizards	24-22	Arenas is chirping about making his much-anticipated return in ''20 to 30 days.'' You suspect that the Wiz would be happy to let Gil take more time if they could just get their newly hobbled Butler back to full strength.
	18 (18)	Hawks	19-24	There is perhaps no greater indictment of the Leastern Conference's collective underachievement this season than the Hawks starting 5-11 in 2008 and facing not a single threat yet to their top-eight slot.
	19 (19)	Bobcats	18-30	We didn't believe it either when the Bobcats claimed they were signing Boykins for their playoff ''push,'' especially since the schedule will have them on the road for 17 of the next 25 games. But it is the Least.
	20 (21)	Timberwolves	10-36	Another two-game win streak, Foye is finally back from injury and McHale is suddenly being hailed for his KG deal compared to what Memphis got for Pau. So, yes, Minnesota stays in the 20 range for at least one more week.
	21 (22)	76ers	18-29	Andre Miller rarely says much -- and the Sixers keep insisting they don't have to trade him -- but Miller does appear to be quietly marketing himself, posting 15 games with at least 20 points after only five last season.
	22 (26)	Nets	20-27	Unlike Dallas or Portland, teams that actually could get sidetracked by J-Kidd trade chatter, how much worse can the Nets' season get? As RJ says: ''Maybe it will distract us from losing all these damn games.''
	23 (23)	Knicks	14-33	First Magic Johnson said so. Now it's our pal J-Levy, who coaches at sizzling Cal State Fullerton, insisting that the Knicks can still make the playoffs. In related news, Team Isiah just capped an 0-5 trip by losing at Seattle.
	24 (24)	Bulls	18-28	What a conference. The banged-up Bulls split a home-and-home with Minnesota, watch Pau join Tyson Chandler and LaMarcus Aldridge on the list of big men that got away . . . and gain ground on the East's No. 8 spot.
	25 (25)	Pacers	19-29	You heard lots early in the season about how much better Indy was playing without Jermaine O'Neal. Now? The Pacers might be 13-20 when JO plays . . . but they're also 1-8 in the last nine games he's missed.
	26 (20)	Bucks	18-30	Don't apologize to anyone, China. We feel the same way here at Stein Line HQ as Saturday night's estimated 200-plus million TV viewers felt: Yao versus Yi is, was and will always be bigger and better than the Super Bowl.
	27 (29)	SuperSonics	12-35	Looks like things have evened out a bit for the young Sonics after those heartbreaking home Ls to Houston and Sacramento. With Parker and LeBron out injured, Durant and Co. stunned San Antonio and Cleveland.
	28 (28)	Clippers	14-30	Give our Clips this much: Thanks to the Sterling-Dunleavy war of words, ongoing trade interest in Cassell and Maggette and Brand's apparent insistence on playing this season, they're still forcing us to pay attention.
	29 (27)	Grizzlies	13-34	Have to wait until summer to see whether the Grizz can really prove (zillions of) doubters wrong by turning their newfound ''flexibility'' into a new team. Until then, Darko and Kwame are Pau's replacements.
	30 (30)	Heat	9-36	As if there hasn't been enough pain and suffering in Miami this season, we wonder whether D-Wade realizes that all these spots with The Chuckster have probably sentenced him to a lifetime of being called ''Pookie.''

레이커스 1등 무려 12계단 상승 ㄷㄷㄷ; 가솔 효과인가;

This week's high riser: Lakers (No. 1 from 13)
This week's big drop: Mavs (No. 11 from 3)

NBA Power Rankings
Rank	LW		Team
1	13		Los Angeles Lakers How geeked is Kobe over the Gasol acquisition? He outscored the Wizards all by himself 19-15 in the first quarter en route to an easy victory Sunday. Meanwhile, the Lakers' new 7-foot star could make his debut Tuesday at New Jersey.
2	2		Boston Celtics OK, Kevin Garnett, it's up to you and your team to restore New England pride. But, first, take care of your own personal Super Bowl with a victory in Friday's return to Minnesota.
3	4		Phoenix Suns With a 14-5 record since Dec. 26, there is reason for optimism in the desert. But two losses to the Spurs last week (once on the court and once in the Damon Stoudamire sweepstakes) show that their rivals still have their number.
4	1		New Orleans Hornets Losses to the Warriors and Kings have brought them back to earth after a nine-game winning streak. At least coach Byron Scott and forward David West will join Chris Paul as hometown Hornets in the All-Star Game.
5	10		Utah Jazz The NBA's hottest team had won eight straight (and 12 of 13 overall) heading into Monday's big home showdown with the Hornets. Gee, think Deron Williams won't be fired up for his matchup against Paul?
6	8		Golden State Warriors Three reasons they're stoked in the Bay Area: 1) Chris Webber gives them new blood; 2) Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson are ticked about their All-Star snubs; 3) last Friday they began a stretch of 10 of 11 at Oracle Arena.
7	7		Houston Rockets Super Bowl, Schmuper Bowl. An estimated 200 million in China watched Saturday's matchup between Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, won by the Rockets 91-83. It was Houston's third straight victory and seventh in eight games.
8	9		Detroit Pistons Guess their veteran core has decided to get serious again. They held the Mavs to 67 points Sunday to make it five straight wins, including last week's victories against the Magic and Lakers.
9	5		Cleveland Cavaliers No, they're not taking a dive here because of that loss last week at Seattle without LeBron James (ankle). They lose a few spots because without Anderson Varejao (ankle, out three weeks), their defense just doesn't look nearly as formidable.
10	12		Orlando Magic Here they go again. Led by Hedo Turkoglu, the always streaky Magic entered the week having won four straight and seven of eight. Now they begin a five-game homestand, starting Monday against the Mavs.

NBA Power Rankings
Rank	LW		Team
11	3		Dallas Mavericks No Kidd-ing? They insist they're not under any added pressure to trade for Jason Kidd after L.A.'s theft of Gasol. After consecutive losses at Boston and Detroit, that feeling might change -- even if injuries (especially Devin Harris' ankle) have been a factor.
12	6		Portland Trail Blazers They're celebrating Brandon Roy's well-deserved selection to the All-Star team. But with six losses in their last 11 games, they need their second-year phenom to help them get back to their winning ways.
13	11		San Antonio Spurs They opened 1-2 on their nine-game road trip with four more contests this week, including Sunday's clash at Boston. They're hoping Stoudamire can provide a steady hand at the point in the absence of the injured Tony Parker (heel).
14	14		Denver Nuggets Carmelo Anthony returned from a five-game absence to lead them to Saturday's win against the Bobcats. It was their eighth straight victory at home, improving their season record to 19-5 at the Pepsi Center.
15	17		Sacramento Kings They downed the Hornets and Bulls over the weekend to make it four straight as they continue to take advantage of the home schedule. Good idea, since they end February with nine of 10 on the road.
16	15		Toronto Raptors Andrea Bargnani is showing signs of coming out of his seasonlong slump. The former No. 1 pick scored a career-high 28 points in Friday's loss to the Lakers, following a 19-point effort in a win over Washington.
17	16		Washington Wizards Caron Butler (hip injury) returned to action Sunday vs. the Lakers, but might wish he had not. His Wizards dropped their third straight game, and Butler's NBA season-high streak of consecutive free throws ended at 73.
18	18		Atlanta Hawks They are still hanging on in the East playoff race despite a 6-15 road record, and Joe Johnson made the All-Star team despite shooting just 40.5 percent this season. Maybe their luck is starting to turn.
19	22		Charlotte Bobcats Move over, Muggsy Bogues. Newly signed Earl Boykins is the new little man in Charlotte. The 5-foot-5 dynamo might be a little rusty, however. He went scoreless Saturday at Denver, the Bobcats' sixth loss in eight games.
20	21		Philadelphia 76ers Friday's two-point loss to the Magic snapped their two-game winning streak, but they continue to play better than expected. With six of their next seven at home, they hope to build on the positive energy.

NBA Power Rankings
Rank	LW		Team
21	25		New Jersey Nets It's not the trade everybody is waiting for, but they added Stromile Swift in a deal with the Grizzlies for Jason Collins. Maybe Swift can get them fired up and back on track ... umm, or maybe not.
22	19		Milwaukee Bucks They missed Michael Redd (left knee strain) in Saturday's loss to the Rockets, their third straight and seventh in nine games. At least Desmond Mason (thumb) is back in the lineup after being out since late December.
23	23		Chicago Bulls Add Gasol to Garnett on the Windy City's list of big ones who got away. Meanwhile, the return of Ben Gordon (wrist) couldn't prevent Saturday's loss at Sacramento as they fell to 0-2 on their six-game Western trip.
24	24		Minnesota Timberwolves What kind of reaction will KG get in his return to the Twin Cities on Friday? At least Minnesota fans can smile a little, with their Wolves having gone 5-5 over their last 10 games to gain a small measure of respectability again.
25	30		Seattle SuperSonics Perhaps they picked up a cue from the Wolves. After suffering through a franchise-record 14-game losing streak, they turned around and beat the Spurs, Cavs and Knicks last week to win three straight for the first time all season.
26	20		New York Knicks They lost at Seattle on Saturday to finish 0-5 on their West Coast road trip. We'd say Isiah Thomas is glad to be headed home, but given all those Madison Square Garden boo-birds, it might not be the case.
27	26		Indiana Pacers Saturday's setback to the Magic was their sixth straight and dropped them to 0-3 on their current homestand. They better get moving if they want to take advantage of a February schedule that features nine of 13 at home.
28	28		Los Angeles Clippers Will Elton Brand replace Gasol and Garnett as the next All-Star power forward on the trade market? Will Sam Cassell be sent packing before the deadline? Stay tuned, because you have to figure something is going to happen.
29	29		Miami Heat As if 18 losses in 19 games weren't bad enough ... Shaquille O'Neal's All-Star run is history, and Pat Riley received the most votes for "coach you'd least like to play for" in a recent SI Players Poll.
30	27		Memphis Grizzlies The decision to say goodbye to Gasol means the white flag has been raised over the Fed Ex Forum. They might not actually be this bad, but for this week at least they are down here as a symbolic statement.
