NBA Power Rankings - Week 5
November 25, 2008
As the 5th week of the season begins, we’re seeing relatively few surprises. The Knicks have been better than expected, the Clippers worse, and the Rockets look like they might be the title contenders some expected, but there aren’t really any major surprises. Seeing the Wizards at 1-10 and firing Eddie Jordan surely was not expected, but without Gilbert Arenas and Brendan Haywood, NBA fans weren’t shocked in the least. Here’s a look at this week’s power rankings:
1. Los Angeles Lakers
2. Boston Celtics
3. Cleveland Cavaliers
4. Orlando Magic
5. New Orleans Hornets
6. Houston Rockets
7. Detroit Pistons
8. Phoenix Suns
9. Utah Jazz
10. Denver Nuggets
11. Portland Trailblazers
12. Atlanta Hawks
13. San Antonio Spurs
14. Dallas Mavericks
15. New York Knicks
16. Philadelphia 76ers
17. Miami Heat
18. Toronto Raptors
19. Chicago Bulls
20. New Jersey Nets
21. Miami Heat
22. Golden State Warriors
23. Indiana Pacers
24. Milwaukee Bucks
25. Charlotte Bobcats
26. Memphis Grizzlies
27. Minnesota Timberwolves
28. Los Angeles Clippers
29. Washington Wizards
30. Oklahoma City Thunder
At this point, some big questions are:
- Will the Wizards turn it around?
- Can the Rockets challenge the Lakers?
- Will the Knicks make the playoffs?
What do you think?
