Week 2 NBA Rankings

1. Boston Celtics (6-0) (2) They've dominated in five of their six victories with KG leading the team in four different categories
2. San Antonio Spurs (7-1) (3) Parker got a 3-point shot now! It's like every year, he just adds something new.
3. Phoenix Suns (6-2) (5)
Hopefully Amare's knee doesn't become too much of an issue.
4. Detroit Pistons (5-2) (1) See how much better they are when Sheed's performing and not screaming at refs?
5. Dallas Mavericks (5-2) (4)
Winning in Golden St. may help fight some of those playoff demons.
6. Utah Jazz (6-2) (8) Lets face it, Williams-Boozer is the new Stockton-Malone tandem, and in some ways better.
7. Houston Rockets (6-2) (5) Someone besides McGrady and Yao has to pick up the scoring.
8. New Orleans Hornets (6-2) (7) Now that he's fully healthy, Paul is taking his game to an even higher level.
9. Orlando Magic (6-2) (12) Boston, Phoenix and San Antonio better move over, Orlando's got a killer trio too!
10. Denver Nuggets (5-3) (17) Imagine how much better they'd be if they didn't have some $25 million tied into Nene and Kenyon's medical bills.
11. Los Angeles Clippers (4-2) (9) Maggette and Kaman have stepped up huge with Brand still rehabbing.
12. Toronto Raptors (4-3) (14) Delfino's just another example of a youngster that never got a chance in Detroit.
13. Cleveland Cavaliers (4-4) (11) LeBron's trying, but how much longer can he carry this weak supporting cast.
14. New Jersey Nets (4-3) (15) There goes Carter again with his injury crap.
15. Los Angeles Lakers (3-3) (10) They need Odom, he's the key to Kobe staying happy and not burning down Staples' Center to get traded.
16. Portland Trail Blazers (4-3) (29) They're young, but their confidence is growing with each win against a contender in this homestand.
17. Charlotte Bobcats (4-3) (20) Good thing they play defense, because this team's backcourt misses more than a James Bond sniper.
18. Indiana Pacers (3-4) (13) Blowing a 25-point lead against Denver=bad news. That's the kind of loss that could haunt this team.
19. Milwaukee Bucks (2-4) (18) Yi's actually turning out to be pretty good. He appears to the only Bucks' big man with a pulse.
20. New York Knicks (2-4) (16) Marbury's gone AWOL again. Oh well, so much for the Knicks being a playoff team.
21. Atlanta Hawks (2-4) (19) It goes without saying, this is a scary team had they not screwed up and taken Marvin Williams over Chris Paul.
22. Chicago Bulls (1-5) (23) This team couldn't score in an empty gym.
23. Memphis Grizzlies (2-4) (27)
The young nucleus is in place, now it just comes down to winning consistently.
24. Philadelphia 76ers (2-5) (21)
Now if they could just find someone who can compliment Igoudala, then they'd start to get somewhere.
25. Miami Heat (1-6) (22) Lets be honest, Riley would probably be the 6th man on this roster.
26. Sacramento Kings (2-5) (26) Hide your children, Artest's coming back!
27. Washington Wizards (1-5) (25) A defesnively challenged ballclub with a ball-hogging PG. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
28. Golden State Warriors (0-5) (24) They go up a few spots the minute they pop their 2007-08 cherry.
29. Minnesota Timberwolves (0-5) (29) Good to see Telfair at least playing with some confidence.
30. Seattle Supersonics (0-8) (30) Maybe next year, Seattle can draft a center with a pulse to free up Durant.
