Recently updated. The NBA power rankings are here (league wide ranking). The reason that this is so important to NBA fans is because it shows how good they are throughout the whole league. Typically, the rankings are based on division. The two NBA divisions are the eastern and western divisions. These two divisions fair well comes playoff time, but during the regular season, it's all about the standing in the entire NBA. The reason I bring this up is because my home team, the Portland Trailblazers are currently ranked 3rd in the power rankings. This is a big deal considering that there two leading centers, Robin Lopez and Joel Freeland are both out due to hand and knee injuries, and as a team who has relied on there big men the last five years, having there two leading rebounders out looked to be catastrophic. But with the recent return of Chris Kaman (center), and Allen Crabbe (point guard), plus the recent elevation in game between Damian Lillard and Wesley Matthews, the Trail Blazers blew by the Eastern conference with a 3-1 eastern roadtrip record. Now hat time has past since those games. LaMarcus Aldridge has now since left the court due to a left hand ligament strain (6-8 weeks). But all in all, the blazers have created a franchise team that has a chance to go all the way this year in the playoffs. GO RIP-CITY!!!
