NBA.com Power Ranking (http://www.nba.com/powerrankings/)

	TEAM (LAST WEEK)	REC.	BREAKDOWN
1	Boston (2)	55-14	Off: 111.7 (10), Def: 100.5 (1) -- After witnessing the Texas Triangle sweep in person, I explained why the Celtics are the favorites to win the 2008 NBA championship (and even predicted they would win it). Saturday's loss in New Orleans hasn't changed my mind.
2	New Orleans (4)	47-21	Off: 112.8 (7), Def: 106.8 (7) -- Saturday's big win over the Celtics was the first of eight straight games against the Eastern Conference for the Hornets, including a six-game trip that starts in Indiana on Tuesday. But it's not that easy of a stretch, with Cleveland, Boston, Toronto and Orlando following the Pacer game.
3	Phoenix (9)	47-22	Off: 114.9 (1), Def: 109.6 (18) -- The Suns' run is now at seven straight, starting with the win over the Spurs. Now the real test: visits to Detroit and Boston this week. Believe it or not, a good showing in the East may indicate that the Suns are the team to beat in the West.
4	San Antonio (8)	47-23	Off: 109.2 (13), Def: 104.0 (3) -- Fun fact: Sunday's win over the Mavs was the Spurs' second W when they shot less than 35 percent. The Celtics (over the Mavs three days earlier), Rockets and Bucks (yes, really) have one such win apiece.
5	L.A. Lakers (5)	48-22	Off: 114.1 (3), Def: 106.7 (5) -- With Sunday's loss to Golden State, the Lakers are now a game behind the Hornets in the loss column, but nine of their last 12 games are at STAPLES Center (including a "road game" against the Clippers), and the big guys are on their way back.

	TEAM (LAST WEEK)	REC.	BREAKDOWN
6	Houston (1)	47-23	Off: 107.9 (16), Def: 102.9 (2) -- The streak is over and they've now dropped three of four. But the good news is that only four of the Rockets' last 12 games are against teams with a shot at the playoffs.
7	Utah (6)	46-25	Off: 114.8 (2), Def: 108.3 (13) -- The Jazz would be best advised to take advantage of their next five games. Those opponents have a combined winning percentage of .340. Their opponents for their final six games have a combined winning percentage of .655.
8	Detroit (3)	49-20	Off: 113.1 (6), Def: 104.9 (4) -- The Pistons are pretty locked in to the two seed in the East, but they've dropped two straight are just a game or two ahead of the West contenders, so if they make the Finals, these last 13 games could be critical. Tightening up the D (118.9 rating over the last three) would help.
9	Orlando (7)	46-26	Off: 113.2 (5), Def: 108.0 (11) -- Start paying attention to the Magic. Since that ugly loss in Toronto on Feb. 20, the Magic are 12-4, but more important, their defense has been very good and pretty consistent, which should make Stan Van Gundy happy and should have them ready for the postseason. It was the offense that failed in the four losses.
10	Golden State (11)	43-26	Off: 113.8 (4), Def: 110.7 (23) -- The Warriors have two games remaining against both Dallas and Denver (including a back-to-back this weekend), so their fate is definitely in their own hands. After that, as long as the Warriors don't finish fifth, with a (bad) matchup against Utah, they've got a shot at moving on.
11	Philadelphia (12)	35-35	Off: 107.4 (18), Def: 106.7 (6) -- Now 17-5 in their last 22, the Sixers missed their first chance to get above .500 on Friday in Orlando. Chance No. 2 comes tonight in Boston, and who would have thought a month ago that Philly-Boston game would be a must-watch matchup?
12	Denver (13)	42-28	Off: 111.1 (11), Def: 107.4 (9) -- With Dirk out, the Nuggets must be smelling blood in the water. They can help themselves considerably with a win over the Mavs on Thursday.
13	Washington (14)	36-33	Off: 109.9 (12), Def: 109.6 (19) -- While the wait for Gilbert continues, the Wizards are still beating good teams and holding strong to the fifth spot in the East. They start a five-game trip out West Tuesday in Portland.
14	Dallas (10)	44-26	Off: 112.2 (8), Def: 107.1 (8) -- And you thought the sky was falling because the Mavs couldn't beat any good teams. Now, with Dirk out and Denver just two games behind the Mavs, it's a good time to be a therapist in Dallas. The good news: If the Mavs fail to make the playoffs, they keep their pick this year.
15	Cleveland (15)	40-31	Off: 107.8 (17), Def: 108.1 (12) -- The good news: The Cavs won't play the Bucks in the playoffs. They're 1-3 against Milwaukee this season. The bad news: Cleveland has dropped its last five road games.
16	Portland (17)	37-33	Off: 108.7 (15), Def: 109.4 (16) -- The Blazers have won six of their last nine and Greg Oden's rehab seems to be progressing well (good read).
17	Toronto (16)	35-35	Off: 111.9 (9), Def: 108.7 (14) -- The Raptors have dropped two of three since Chris Bosh's return (although he was a Rasho missed layup from a triple-double in Sunday's loss to the Nuggets) and seven of eight overall. The Sixers have tied them for the sixth spot in the East, so they need to get their act together quickly to avoid the Pistons in the First Round.
18	Atlanta (20)	30-39	Off: 106.9 (20), Def: 109.4 (15) -- Look out Eastern Conference. The Hawks won two straight road games before losing in New Jersey on Wednesday, and they beat the Magic on Saturday to go up 1 1/2 games on the Nets and Pacers for the eight spot.
19	Indiana (24)	29-41	Off: 107.3 (19), Def: 109.5 (17) -- The Pacers have won four straight and have drawn even with the Nets, a game and a half behind Atlanta for the eight spot in the East. So this week's home-and-home with New Jersey is huge.
20	Sacramento (19)	31-38	Off: 108.8 (14), Def: 111.3 (25) -- The Kings lost to the Grizzlies on Saturday, but Spencer Hawes did put up 19 points, 12 boards and three blocks in his first start.
21	New Jersey (18)	29-41	Off: 104.7 (25), Def: 110.4 (21) -- We've mentioned the Hawks' road struggles in the past, but the Nets have now dropped 18 of their last 20 away from IZOD Center. We'd say that Monday's game in New York should end their nine-game losing streak, but they've already lost to the Knicks three times this season.
22	Minnesota (23)	18-51	Off: 104.6 (26), Def: 111.8 (26) -- My prediction of four straight wins for the T-Wolves fell short by 11 points in Indiana on Friday. Of their next six games, their worst (in terms of record) opponent is Utah, so I won't be predicting another winning streak for the Wolves anytime soon.
23	Chicago (21)	27-42	Off: 104.5 (27), Def: 107.5 (10) -- The Bulls have one more chance: two meetings with the Hawks this week, whom the trail by three games in the Eastern Conference standings.
24	Charlotte (22)	25-44	Off: 105.3 (24), Def: 110.7 (22) -- A Saturday home win over the Heat was a brief break in the middle of a stretch of 10 road games for the Bobcats. And what's up with Emeka Okafor? He's scored 10 points or less in six of the last seven games.
25	Milwaukee (27)	24-44	Off: 106.8 (21), Def: 113.9 (30) -- Just when they were about to possibly take the No. 30 spot after a loss to the Heat (Miami's only win thus far in March), the Bucks went and beat the Cavs on Saturday. They could lose to the Heat again this week though.
26	Memphis (30)	18-51	Off: 106.5 (22), Def: 112.9 (28) -- The Grizzlies are in the midst of their second winning streak of the season, and they'll look to extend it to three games (their first streak was halted at two) tonight against the Nuggets.
27	L.A. Clippers (25)	21-48	Off: 102.9 (28), Def: 110.1 (20) -- The Clips have dropped seven straight and 15 of their last 17. The good news: Elton Brand and Chris Kaman are playing, just not in real games. Just hope that them playing against each other isn't some sort of foreshadowing.
28	New York (26)	19-50	Off: 105.4 (23), Def: 113.1 (29) -- If it weren't for the Miami Heat, the Knicks would be on a 12-game losing streak. And apparently, the losing extends to front office matters as well.
29	Miami (29)	12-57	Off: 102.7 (29), Def: 111.9 (27) -- Blake Ahearn, Stephane Lasme and Kasib Powell have played five games between them for the Heat, and today, they get to meet their coach.
30	Seattle (28)	16-54	Off: 101.8 (30), Def: 111.3 (24) -- The Sonics' losing streak has reach 11, but I'm smelling two wins on the upcoming seven-game homestand.

ESPN Power Ranking by Marc Stein (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/powerranking)

2007-08 Power Rankings: Week 22
RANK (LAST WK)		TEAM	REC.	COMMENT
	1 (2)	Celtics	55-14	Hard to imagine how the Celts don't finish here three Mondays from now with their 23-5 record against the West and their 6-0 record on the road against the Lakers, Jazz, Rockets, Spurs, Mavericks and Pistons.
	2 (6)	Hornets	47-21	Impossible to put the Hornets any lower when they're 8-3 in March and when they just followed up a rout of Houston by rallying from 15 down to stun the aforementioned team that just mowed through Texas.
	3 (7)	Suns	47-22	If they haven't impressed you yet with the league's longest active win streak, this might be the week for the Shaq-era Suns, depending on how they fare in this week's swing through Detroit, Boston and Philly.
	4 (5)	Lakers	48-22	Nothing could have topped Boston's week, but the Lakers were at least in that zip code before losing at home to Golden State. Wins don't get much bigger than L.A.'s roadies in Dallas and Utah without Pau and Bynum.
	5 (4)	Jazz	46-25	That loss to the short-handed Lakers didn't just put an end to Utah's 19-game winning streak at EnergySolutions Arena. It left us with no choice but to keep the Jazz, seemingly headed for a promotion, in their usual area.
	6 (1)	Rockets	47-23	Even without Yao, that historic 22-game win streak pretty much took care of the getting to the first round. It's the recent scoring problems without Yao that have renewed doubts about Houston getting out of Round 1.
	7 (3)	Pistons	49-20	The Pistons don't lose two in a row very often, but road setbacks to the Cavs and Wizards have only made their chief rivals look better, preserving Boston's status as the league's only 50-win team for the third straight week.
	8 (9)	Spurs	47-23	Would anyone be surprised if the Spurs, even after that 1-6 slide, win their division yet again? Be advised that the champs have only five more road games left, compared to seven for Houston and 10 for New Orleans.
	9 (10)	Warriors	43-26	Golden State's next away victory clinches its first winning road record since 1993-94. But Sunday's W was its biggest roadie of the season, pushing the Warriors to just 2-16 all time against the Lakers at Staples Center.
	10 (12)	Magic	46-26	He might not be the favorite, but Stan Van has to be up in there in the COY derby. Unless Orlando's two victories each over Boston and Detroit and the league's third-best road record (23-13) don't do much for you, that is.
	11 (13)	Nuggets	42-28	Classic Iverson. AI is shooting 52.5 percent from the floor and 48.3 percent on 3s since breaking a finger on March 7 and the Nuggets just followed up their emotional defeat in Philly with a couple of rare road victories.
	12 (11)	76ers	35-35	You might not be able to make this claim, Leasterners, after Philly's visit to Boston on Monday, so now is the time to rejoice in the news that the Least is up to seven teams with .500-or-better records thanks to the Sixers.
	13 (14)	Wizards	36-33	Arenas himself seems to see that it's best for his knee -- and perhaps even for a team that's 5-1 since getting Caron Butler back -- to sit out the entire season. "At the end of the day," Gil said, "that is the smartest thing to do."
	14 (8)	Mavericks	44-26	It's just the second time in the six seasons of operation for the committee (of one) that the Mavs are out of the top 10. Truth is, though, that Dallas' struggles might have forced our hand even if Dirk hadn't gotten hurt.
	15 (15)	Cavaliers	40-31	The Cavs are on pace for a mere 46 wins and a second-round series with Boston instead of their old pals from Detroit, since Orlando has all but clinched the No. 3 seed. Does this change your view on Bron's MVP merits?
	16 (16)	Trail Blazers	37-33	Good news: Portland should get the four Ws it needs to clinch a .500 season minus Greg Oden. Bad news: Portland inherits the NBA's longest playoff drought (five seasons) if Atlanta hangs on to No. 8 in the East.
	17 (18)	Raptors	35-35	Some trivia to distract from Bosh's lengthy injury absence and the 3-11 slide that it triggered: Toronto became the ninth team this season to beat the Heat by at least 25 points with Wednesday's (no misprint) 96-54 rout.
	18 (20)	Hawks	30-39	It took a 4-1 heat wave, including an unexpected win over Orlando, but the Hawks are fewer than 10 games under .500 again. Which might be all it takes to land No. 8 in the East and the right to be obliterated by the Celts.
	19 (17)	Kings	31-38	With a loss in Memphis trashing any .500 hopes, here's the latest from the Artest Chronicles: PETA has a new poster out on which its Sactown spokesman says, "HAVE THE BALLS TO SPAY OR NEUTER YOUR DOG."
	20 (22)	Pacers	29-41	Donnie Walsh is moving on, which means Larry Bird is staying on. On the floor? Mike Dunleavy has quietly posted five 30-point games since the All-Star break, which is only three short of Kobe's total in the same span.
	21 (19)	Nets	29-41	Devin Harris plays his first truly big game as a Net on Monday night. New Jersey has to win at MSG to avoid an 0-4 record against the Knicks this season . . . which also means Team Isiah is 16-50 against everybody else.
	22 (21)	Bulls	27-42	Another ugly week in a brutal season: Chicago clinched a sub-.500 record for the season with Saturday's loss to Indiana and now has three teams to leapfrog just to get back to the playoffs after the Pacers passed them.
	23 (26)	Timberwolves	18-51	Even if the remarks were somehow misinterpreted, I'm with The Mag's Chris Broussard: Wolves owner Glen Taylor questioning KG on any front is no less ridiculous than DeShawn Stevenson calling LeBron "overrated."
	24 (25)	Bucks	24-44	Congrats to Michael Finley and all you Badgers out there on Wisconsin's historic tournament win over our beloved Titans. Now we return you to the state's (and our) regularly scheduled Simmons-For-Bucks-GM watch.
	25 (29)	Grizzlies	18-51	Word is the Grizzlies are planning to offer 6,000 seats per game next season at just $10 a pop, with another 500 seats at $5 each. Pretty sweet deal when you remember that you also get to watch the other team.
	26 (23)	Bobcats	25-44	The only suspense left here is what will happen with rookie coach Sam Vincent. Will Michael Jordan give his former teammate one more season? Or a pink slip? Unsolicited prediction from the committee: It'll be the latter.
	27 (24)	Clippers	21-48	Follow-up to last week's question about whether Elton Brand should indeed come back this season or just wait for next season: How do Clips fans feel about Kaman playing for Germany? Or Dickau playing for Poland?
	28 (28)	SuperSonics	16-54	After failing to shoot better than 41 percent from the floor in any month before this one, Durant is making his final ROY push with 52 percent shooting in March. Not that he needed a hot streak to lock up our vote.
	29 (27)	Knicks	19-50	The latest head-scratcher from Isiah's tenure, courtesy of our man Howard Beck from the New York Times: ". . . Thomas, who seemingly has no future with the team, is now coaching as if the future is all that matters."
	30 (30)	Heat	12-57	They're obviously no longer trying to get there, but this stat further illustrates the 2006 champs' historically steep fall from grace: Miami needs a 5-8 finish to record a winning percentage above the Mendoza Line.

PARADE PLANNERS

• 
  1. (4) New Orleans Hornets – “Any time you beat a team like this,” Hornets center Tyson Chandler said after Saturday’s victory over Boston, “you can definitely put a little notch on your belt.” Problem: The Hornets are running out of room for their notches.
• 
  2. (2) Boston Celtics – Told that Wolves owner Glen Taylor had been reprimanded by the league for accusing him of tanking games at the end of last season, Kevin Garnett said he didn’t want to comment then added: “There is a saying in China – sayonara.” Looks like the only thing KG tanked was his high-school geography class.
• 
  3. (6) Los Angeles Lakers – Wondering this while watching Kobe Bryant go for 36 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists Sunday against Golden State: Chicago didn’t want to give up Luol Deng for this guy, why?
• 
  4. (3) Detroit Pistons – Opponents no longer excited to see Pistons reserves check into game.
• 
  5. (8) Phoenix Suns – Amare Stoudemire averaged 28.6 points during seven-game winning streak. More impressive to the Suns: In five of those games he grabbed more than 10 rebounds.
• 
  6. (5)Utah Jazz– After Saturday’s win over Seattle, Deron Williams threw a birthday party for Ronnie Brewer and C.J. Miles that featured Lil’ Jon. There are also plans for a party to celebrate coach Jerry Sloan’s 66th birthday on Friday. Featured performer: Lil’ John Deere.

  STILL DREAMING

• 
  7. (1) Houston Rockets – What’s the better indication of Rockets’ playoff future: Winning 22 in a row? Or losing three of four post-streak?
• 
  8. (13) San Antonio Spurs – Brent Barry rejoined the Spurs on Monday. A hunch: This signing is more beneficial than the Damon Stoudamire one.
  
• 
  9. (9) Golden State Warriors – Anyone else hoping for a Warriors-Lakers’ playoff series? Capt. Jack’s three-point shootoff with Kobe at the end of Sunday’s game was one of the most entertaining moments of the season.
  
• 
  10. (7) Dallas Mavericks – Mavericks owner Mark Cuban showed up at Sunday’s game against Spurs wearing an “Avery’s Team” T-shirt. Does this mean AJ also has to pick up the luxury-tax tab?
  
• 
  11. (10) Orlando Magic – Dwight Howard following in footsteps of Orlando’s original Superman. Held to just three points by the Washington Wizards, he fired a Shaq-esque complaint at the officials. “People can beat up on me and nothing happens,” Howard said. “But when I touch somebody I get calls.”
  
• 
  12. (12) Philadelphia 76ers – Sixers beat Celtics with 19-0 run in fourth quarter. One more example that the future may have already arrived in Philly. Even bigger surprise: Large part of Sixers’ success should be credited to moves former GM Billy King made.
  
• 
  13. (11) Denver Nuggets – Nuggets finally get their chance to gain ground in playoff race. This week brings games against Dallas and Golden State.
  
• 
  14. (14) Cleveland Cavaliers – On this admittedly West-biased ballot, the MVP race is down to two players: Kobe and Chris Paul. Winning 47 games in the East isn’t going to cut it.
  
• 
  15. (15) Portland Trail Blazers – Entering Tuesday’s game against Washington, Blazers had just one victory over a team with a winning record since Jan. 15: A Feb. 29 win over the Lakers.
  
• 
  16. (16) Washington Wizards – Gilbert Arenas’ latest NBA.com blog entry might not enhance his value on the free-agent market, but it’s must-read material. Frustrated that he wasn’t allowed to play on Sunday, Arenas left the arena and went home to get a sports jacket to wear on the bench. “It was just me and my car speeding – something I shouldn’t be doing,” Arenas wrote. “Then I got that thought that I know everybody gets once in awhile. I was like: ‘You know, what if I just ran my car into this pole right here?’ I don’t know why I thought that, but I just kept going with it: ‘Then, I can jump off the road into this lake and just swim or drown. Whichever comes first.’ ” Added Arenas: “But I listened to Young Jeezy’s verse in ‘They Know’ to get me past those bad thoughts…plus, I’m sane. I’m a sane person, I wouldn’t do that to myself.”
  
• 
  17. (18) Atlanta Hawks – Hawks have only themselves to blame if they don’t make playoffs. Entering Tuesday, only four of 14 remaining games are against teams with winning records.
  
• 
  18. (17) Toronto Raptors – Not fun times for the Raptors. They’ve lost 11 of past 14 with the three victories coming against Miami (twice) and Seattle, prompting Chris Bosh to lash out at teammates for being “too hesitant.”

  GET THOSE TEE TIMES READY

• 
  19. (23) Indiana Pacers – One question: Why would Donnie Walsh want to go work for the one franchise more screwed up than his current one?
  
• 
  20. (19) New Jersey Nets – Leave it to the always quotable Richard Jefferson to perfectly sum up the state of the Nets: “There’s a very good chance we’ll be in the playoffs. There’s a very good chance we might not be in the playoffs.”
  
• 
  21. (20) Sacramento Kings – Houston coach Rick Adelman gets 800th career victory against his former employer, the Kings. Coincidence? Or poetic justice?
• 
  22. (21) Minnesota Timberwolves – Wolves finally making a late run up the standings…in the one season where it would benefit them to improve their lottery odds. What’s that old cliché about making your own luck?
  
• 
  23. (22) Chicago Bulls – New bar game sweeping the Windy City: Name a Bulls player who hasn’t had an altercation with the coaching staff this season. Anyone? …Anyone?
  
• 
  24. (24) Charlotte Bobcats – There’s always Adam Morrison to look forward to.
  

  SECAUCUS SIX

• 
  25. (27) Milwaukee Bucks – During his post-firing news conference Larry Harris said he felt good about the roster decisions he made while Bucks GM. Except, of course, for the $47 million contract he gave Bobby Simmons. …And the $36 million deal he handed Dan Gadzuric. …And trading Desmond Mason and a first-round pick for Jamaal Magloire. …And swapping T.J. Ford for Charlie Villanueva. Aside from that, however, everything went swell.
• 
  26. (26) Memphis Grizzlies – Grizzlies have won three of five, so they deserve some respect. But here’s the thing about bad teams that play fast: Doesn’t that just create more possessions for them to play bad?
• 
  27. (25) Los Angeles Clippers – Give Elton Brand credit. There’s absolutely no reason for him to return this season except the one he gave: He wants to play.
• 
  28. (30) Seattle SuperSonics– Sonics owner Clay Bennett says he’ll leave Seattle the franchise name and colors if he gets the players. Isn’t that a win-win deal for the city, provided it eventually attracts another franchise?
• 
  29. (29) Miami Heat – Gearing up for Wednesday’s Beasley Bowl showdown with the Heat.
• 
  30. (28) New York Knicks – Donnie Walsh gave Isiah Thomas his first coaching job. Shouldn’t the Knicks be blaming him instead of trying to hire him?
