NBA Top Five and Bottom Five this week

TOP FIVE
1) Dallas Mavericks (#1, 62-12): They're having a dream season, but the Mavs will have to answer questions until they win a title.
2) San Antonio Spurs (#2, 54-21): San Antonio might meet Dallas in the second round of the playoffs, which would be an incredible matchup.
3) Phoenix Suns (#3, 56-19): Phoenix has to worry about finding its mojo again before the playoffs start.
4) Houston Rockets (no ranking, 47-28): A team on the rise, but a first round meeting with San Antonio would likely end Houston's post-season hopes in a hurry.
5) Utah Jazz (#5, 48-26): If the Jazz played the Lakers in the first round, I would pick Los Angeles to win the series.
Dropped out: Detroit Pistons (#4)

BOTTOM FIVE
1) Boston Celtics (#1, 23-51): Boston is doing its best to make sure that it gets either Greg Oden or Kevin Durant (assuming that they do declare for the NBA draft, as expected).
2) Memphis Grizzlies (#2, 19-57): Memphis is a staggering 44 games behind Dallas in the Southwest Division.
3) Milwaukee Bucks (#3, 26-48): Milwaukee and Memphis are the only two NBA teams to win as few as one game in their own divisions this season.
4) Sacramento Kings (no ranking, 30-44): There must be something about that Kings name, because the Sacramento NBA franchise is as bad as the Los Angeles NHL franchise.
5) Atlanta Hawks (#4, 27-48): I can't remember the last time the Hawks were truly good.
Dropped out: Indiana Pacers (#5)
