Mike Monroe
TOP 10
(Last rank in parentheses)
1. Lakers (1): Gasol extra cautious with hammy, alerts Spain: Don’t expect me for Worlds.
2. Hawks (12): If you don’t think they’re the top rebounding team in East, ask the Celtics.
3. Nuggets (3): Karl says Nuggets sipped fine wine in WCF and now they’d like a magnum.
4. Celtics (2): Shelden Williams making most of time he’s getting in Big Baby’s absence.
5. Suns (5): Is Gentry worried about Nash’s minutes? Yep, the 15 per game when he’s not playing.
6. Cavaliers (8): If LeBron changes from 23 to 6, does he diss MJ’s idol, Walter Davis?
7. Spurs (11): Bogans looking like a younger, more physical Bowen, minus the slice and dice.
8. Magic (4): Rashard Lewis suspension ends; going 7-3 without him totally acceptable.
9. Mavericks (7): Anger management: Carlisle kicks a table, Dirk takes offense at Wolves trash talk
10. Heat (6): Owner Arison: Riley can run this team for as long as he wants.
