So now that I am fully invested in the NBA season because college football has ended, and the NFL has had a crazy amount of dud playoff games I want to have a weekly post that you the reader can influence. I want to do a week by week NBA Power Rankings based on play, my personal opinion, and you the fans. We have already got some emails asking who the elite teams are, so keep those coming in. I also ask for NBA fans, and readers alike to email themanchise@gmail.com with your top five teams and your opinions will also influence these posts from here on out (and if you have no life as I do give me some sort of reasoning and I will be sure to add those to the post). So please, fellow "Manchisers" give me your feedback!
1. Los Angeles Lakers- This was tough considering how well the Cavs had played lately, but after I looked at some numbers the Lakers had it all the way (so allow me to break this down). The Lakers have played 41 games and The Flowing Spaniard has only played in 24 of those. Add in Ron Artest missing five games, and Kobe dealing with a frustrated back and splinted finger and it is remarkable this team hasn't fallen apart. With all of these injuries, the Lakers still have the best record in the NBA while playing the tenth toughest schedule. They have the best player in the league, and when completely healthy, this team is dangerous because of the balance they have with any five on the floor.
