NBA Mid-Season Rankings

NBA Mid-Season Rankings


Well with the NBA season almost halfway through here are the teams that have stuck out to me.


1. Boston Celtics... As if the NBA's best record does'nt say enough, with Garnett and a Healthy Allen the celts look to complete the major sports 3peat(MLB Red Sox, NFL Patriots).


2.Phoenix Suns... These next few are tough but when the Suns are at full strength with Hill,Marion,Nash, and Stoudemire they are the best in the West by far.


3.Cleveland Cavs... I know what your thinking...WTF.. but can anybody stop LEBRON the best all around player in the NBA. I think not. Lebron wants to prove to everyone that last years NBA Finals appearance was not a fluke. With the Cavs running healthy now they have been suffocating their opponents on the defensive end and with everyone playing now they should find their offensive groove i n plenty of time for another Finals run.

4.Detroit Pistons... With a solid core of players and lack of Finals appearances the last few years their hungry again, but with no true center presence RIP and the HORSE will need some help from Prince and Sheed. to pick up the slack.


5.Dallas Mavericks... With there disappointing performance in last years playoffs and actually in every years playoffs don't be surprised if they make some noise this year. With Coach Avery Johnson having his guys playing solid defense and the reining league MVP Dirk and Josh Howard lighting it up things are looking good in Dallas.


6. New Orleans Hornets... With Chris Paul running the show and solid play from Chandler and West the hornets are looking like a dominant presence in the Mighty West. If they could only get that guy Peja to start playing like the 3 point champ that he is, your looking at a real scary team come playoff time.


7.Orlando Magic... Dwight Howard is the new spokesperson for WINDEX with the way he cleans the glass avg. almost 16 boards a game and blocking everything in sight and sharpshooters Lewis and Hedo, easily top 5 team in East.



8.Golden State Warriors... What else is there to say but BARON DAVIS!! He is making the nba look like the playground this year, and Monta Ellis is having a career year. Now only if they can find a solid performer in the paint will they be able to break into the NBA ELITE.


9.Utah Jazz... With all the right tools I don't know why they play as bad as they do, Top PG, Top PF, amazing SF, a Center that can stroke it from 3.


10.Portland Trailblazers... Wow is all I have to say. Broy is a beast, and Aldridge is tearing it up. Its an amazing story but will they turn out like the once proclaimed "next great young team" Chicago Bulls, only time will tell.



Consideration; Spurs, Raptors, Wizards, Lakers, Nuggets, and Rockets.
