NBA Power Rankings (Week 16)

After another week of basketball, the top remains pretty steady while the middle of the pack continues to get mixed up. The struggles continue for the middle of the road teams in the East, while the top of the east surges. Boston is a team to look out for. They've won 9 of 10 and have taken control of the 3 seed in the East. If Boston is able to acquire the superstar they desire, they have a chance of making a deep run in the playoffs.
The teams out West to look out for are the surging Jazz and Trailblazers. If both teams are able to keep up their high level of play the Rockets might be in trouble. Expect the Knicks, Kings, and Suns to continue to fall in the rankings.
