NBA power rankings: Jan. 30, 2010 (http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/NBA_power_rankings_Jan_30_2010.html)
TOP 10
(Last rank in parentheses; through Friday’s games)
1. Cavaliers (1): Shaq to Hickson: “You could be Cedric Ceballos.” ... Hickson to Shaq: “Who’s that? I was born in ’88.”
2. Lakers (2): Kobe’s summer plans now include pickup game with Pres. Obama ... If Kobe’s Kobe, The Prez gets shut out.
3. Hawks (4): Where’s Waldo? Where are Woodson’s eyebrows? Woody: “They were there, then they were gone.”
4. Nuggets (3): Nugs consider suspending J.R. Smith for bizarre bench behavior ... In other news, it sometimes snows in Denver.
5. Jazz (8): Fifth straight win comes without Boozer or D. Will ... Keeping Millsap last summer a genius move.
6. Mavericks (5): Cuban: Asking Howard to change off-court behavior was like asking him (Cuban) to stop yelling at refs.
7. Celtics (6): Hawks are to Celtics what Jazz are to Spurs: Atlanta’s season sweep is its first vs. Boston in 11 seasons.
8. Magic (9): GM Otis Smith, to fellow GMs: Forget trying to acquire Gortat or Bass for junk.
9. Spurs (12): Production and defense from Jefferson, McDyess more what Buford and Co. had in mind last summer.
