This is something I am going to try to do every week for MLB, the NFL, NHL and NBA. Here are the Top Five and Bottom Five in the NBA this week, in my very bald opinion:
TOP FIVE
1) Dallas Mavericks (60-11): Even with Dirk Nowitzki out for a few games, as might be the case since he sprained his ankle, the Mavs only need to go 5-6 the rest of the way to clinch the #1 seed in the playoffs.
2) San Antonio Spurs (51-20): As is their custom, the Spurs are sneaking up on people. I certainly wouldn't want to be on the team that has to meet up with them in the post-season.
3) Phoenix Suns (53-17): Phoenix has cooled off after that torrid early season run, but they should still be the team that scares Dallas the most in the playoffs.
4) Detroit Pistons (45-25): Can Flip Saunders finally get a team to the league finals?
5) Utah Jazz (47-24): This season may have represented the best job of coaching in the illustrious career of Jerry Sloan.
BOTTOM FIVE
1) Boston Celtics (22-49): One of the worst teams in the history of a very proud franchise.
2) Memphis Grizzlies (18-54): Memphis fans will just have to grin and bear it this season.
3) Milwaukee Bucks (25-45): Another once-proud franchise which has fallen on hard times. Where's Bob Lanier when you need him?
4) Atlanta Hawks (27-46): The ongoing dismal play of the Hawks would be a bigger story if anyone in Atlanta even remotely cared about the team.
5) Indiana Pacers (31-40): One would think that the Pacers should be better than this.
