2008-09 NBA Power Rankings: Week 2

 The first week of the NBA is complete and things were not quite as crazy as a week in the NFL, but still threw some twists at us.  The top teams are still top teams and the bottom teams are still pretty damn close to the bottom.  I'm sure things will really start to shake loose in the next week or so, but for now, it's all goooood.

The Elite:
1.  Los Angeles Lakers
2.  New Orleans Hornets
3.  Houston Rockets*
4.  Utah Jazz
5.  Toronto Raptors
6.  Boston Celtics
7.  Phoenix Suns
8.  Detroit Pistons
9.  Chicago Bulls
10.  San Antonio Spurs

The Wannabes:
11.  Philadelphia 76ers
12.  Atlanta Hawks
13.  Portland Trail Blazers
14.  Indiana Pacers
15.  Dallas Mavericks
16.  Denver Nuggets
17.  Milwaukee Bucks
18.  Cleveland Cavaliers
19.  New Jersey Nets
20.  Miami Heat

The "Hahhahas":
21.  Orlando Magic
22.  Golden State Warriors
23.  Minnesota Timberwolves
24.  Oklahoma City Thunder
25.  Charlotte Bobcats
26.  Memphis Grizzlies
27.  Washington Wizards
28.  New York Knicks
29.  Los Angeles Clippers
30.  Sacramento Kings

*"Uh oh!" is all I have to say about the Houston Rockets.  Ron-Ron could actually fit in here and become that brute force that these talented Rockets have bee needing the last few years.  Maybe T-mac's back will finally make it through a season and Yao won't take the rest of the year off just to get bounced out of pool play in the Olympics.  This could be some thing special...
