The NBA as a whole should take a bow for the week it just had. Bravo to the Association for putting together a thrilling, action-packed week, replete with nail-biters, buzzer-beaters and historic performances to excite diehards and casual fans alike.
Nine games decided by 10 points or fewer. Three games swung by clutch shots at the end of regulation. The league's pre-eminent player (LeBron James) getting outshone by the next guy in line (Anthony Davis). The player of the moment (Russell Westbrook) upstaging them both.
Or, in this case, Wednesday.
Must be the smell of the stretch run in the air. With the calendar turning to March, those teams toward the top—particularly the Atlanta Hawks, who this week became the first club to clinch a playoff berth—can practically taste the playoffs. Those in the middle are ravenously fighting for morsels, and those scrapping and scraping at the bottom can see the offseason in the distance.
Lots of anticipation all around, is what I'm saying.
But before we get too caught up in the future, let's assess where the Association stands in the present. Here are the 30 teams, presented in order from worst to best, based on recent performance and available personnel.
The same thing we do every week, for your viewing (and, perhaps, skewering) pleasure, just like we did last week.
