NBA Power Rankings: Nov. 29, 2009 (http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/spurs/NBA_Power_Rankings_Nov_29_2009.html)
Mike Monroe
TOP 10
(Last rank in parentheses)
1. Lakers (2): Bryant, posting up more often, challenges Gasol to one-on-one post game; The winner? “Not him,” says KB.
2. Nuggets (7): Melo scores 50 in fourth straight Denver win; is he MVP of first full month of season?
3. Hawks (1): Bibby’s left ankle injury not too bad; he scores season-high 21 in Friday win over 76ers.
4. Mavericks (3): They have to fall at least one slot after losing to six Warriors; Bounce-back game against Rockets was inevitable.
5. Suns (6): Did you see Nash’s between-defender’s-legs pass to Robin Lopez? If Melo isn’t MVP of first month, maybe it’s Nash.
6. Magic (4): Van Gundy: ‘I’m not going to be waving pompons and stuff,’ to which we all say: Thank goodness.
7. Spurs (15): They won’t go winless on road; Ginobili’s pending return is just in time if Mason is out a while.
8. Celtics (5): Here’s a shock: Rasheed Wallace is mad about what he claims are unwarranted technical fouls.
9. Cavaliers (8): Shaq’s back, but is that a good thing? Cavs look awful in O’Neal’s return from shoulder trouble.
10. Thunder (13): Making their debut in our top 10, and with five straight at home, they could move up.
