The Western Conference is a dark, scary and unforgiving place. You’ll see why in this week’s NBA Power Rankings.
If you’re playing any team in that conference, your in for a fight. Yes, you have a chance to be blown out and yes it could be a long night for your ball club. The West is so competitive that starting now, those teams can’t afford to lose.
In the past week the West got richer and that is very scary for any team in the association. Dallas made a blockbuster deal and acquired Rajon Rondo for a slew of role player sand draft picks. Houston acquired veteran swingman Corey Brewer which will only bolster their bench.
The East, well it’s still very mediocre and has teams like Philadelphia and Detroit already tanking. Toronto, Cleveland and Washington are the class of this conference and have been rolling through with ease.
Where does everyone end up on this week’s NBA Power Rankings? Well here is your latest edition! Starting off with the team from the city of brotherly love.
