Week 4 NBA Rankings

1. San Antonio Spurs (12-3) (1) After lighting up the Spurs, Beno Udrih was heard to quote "Jacque Vaughn?? Are you serious??"
2. Orlando Magic (13-3) (5) How long does Turkoglu keep up this hot streak of his?
3. Boston Celtics (11-2) (2) After beating the Bobcats at the buzzer on a miracle 3, Allen has a very unclutch moment, missing two FT's against the Cavs.
4. Phoenix Suns (11-3) (3)
Suns get outgunned by the Warriors, snapping an 8-game winning streak.
5. Utah Jazz (10-5) (6) In a 3-game stretch against Paul, Billups and Marbury, Williams averages 19.6 ppg and 9.6 apg
6. Dallas Mavericks (9-5) (4) Dallas's defense breaks down in a three-game swoon capped off by an embarrassing home loss against the Arenas-less Wizards
7. Cleveland Cavaliers (9-6) (16)
LeBron is taking charge again with a triple-double on Sunday and a 38-point effort against the C's.
8. Detroit Pistons (8-5) (9)
When do Johnson and Stuckey start getting a chance? Seems like the Pistons always stash a few talents like this at the end of the bench.
9. New Orleans Hornets (10-6) (8) When the Hornets plummet back to .500, they'll be looking back and wondering how they let Minnesota beat them on their home floor.
10. Houston Rockets (8-7) (11) They're fine as long as TMac is healthy, but did they really upgrade the roster if they still can't win with him hurt?
11. Denver Nuggets (9-6) (7) Bad starts have been the biggest factor behind the Nugs' latest 2-game skid.
12. Milwaukee Bucks (7-5) (12)
Bucks get caught napping against the Sixers after a pair of impressive wins against Dallas and Cleveland.
13. Los Angeles Lakers (8-6) (10) No more negative Youtube comments from Kobe about Andrew "bleeping" Bynum, who's averaging a double-double a month into the season.
14. Toronto Raptors (7-7) (15)
Where did Jamario Moon come from?
15. Washington Wizards (7-7) (14) By now, you would think they're used to playing without Arenas.
16. Golden State Warriors (6-7) (22) In winning six of seven since their 0-6 start, the Warriors are once again a team to fear because of all the offensive weapons they can throw at you.
17. New Jersey Nets (7-8) (18) Three straight wins to finish out their Western swing, then the Nets lay an egg at home against the Grizzlies.
18. Los Angeles Clippers (6-7) (13) The injuries are starting to finally catch up with them.
19. Indiana Pacers (7-8) (19) Tinsley hasn't looked this good since his rookie year.
20. Charlotte B0bcats (6-8) (17)
To lose the way they did against Boston has to be a flattening feeling for the young Bobcats.
21. Atlanta Hawks (5-8) (20) Win in Minnesota and Miami, but couldn't complete a sweep of the NBA dregs by beating Chicago.
22. Miami Heat (4-10) (25)
Stan Van Gundy gets a good measure of revenge when his Magic team mopped the floor with Riley's Heat.
23. Portland Trail Blazers (21) Jack has found his offense since being moved to the bench in favor of Steve Blake.
24. Sacramento Kings (5-9) (23) The combination of Garcia, Udrih and Salmons has eased the loss of Bibby.
25. Memphis Grizzlies (5-9) (24) Pau needs to step it up, Mike Miller is averaging more boards a game than he is.
26. New York Knicks (4-9) (28) See what happens when you motivate Marbury? Now he just needs to keep this up to get the Knicks back to respectability.
27. Philadelphia 76ers (4-9) (27)
Watching Dalmebert and Evans play is literally like watching paint dry.
28. Chicago Bulls (3-10) (26) What has happened to Kirk Hinrich? Granted he was a little overrated to begin with, but he's never played this badly.
29. Minnesota Timberwolves (2-10) (30) When do Brewer and Green start getting real minutes?
30. Seattle Supersonics (2-13) (29) Why doesn't this team just start Delonte West at SG and move Durant to his natural position of SF?
