NBA Power Rankings: Week 3

There have been many changes in this week's power rankings. Sorry they're a little late.

NFL Week 10 Power Rankings

Week 10 Pick Results:
1. Dave, 19 (9 Straight, 10 Spread)
2. Brandon, 13 (8 Straight, 5 Spread)
3. Jason, 12 (4 Straight, 8 Spread)
4. Chris, 11 (6 Straight, 5 Spread)

I know last week I said 18, but after Week 10 there are 20 teams that still have a chance to make the playoffs this year.  The only teams that are virtually eliminated are: Washington, Dallas, Minnesota, Detroit, Carolina, Arizona, Miami, Buffalo, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Houston, and Denver.  This makes for great television coming down to the second half of the season, since basically any team can be bounced from their playoff spots.  We have great divisional races in the AFC East, NFC East, AFC North, AFC South, and NFC South, along with the lackluster races in the NFC North (Chicago is the worst 6-3 team ever), AFC West (Watch out for San Diego..), and the race for the right to steal a playoff bid from a semi less horrible team in the NFC West.  Really people, what more could we possibly want?

Proven Points

Revival. Emergence. Consistency. Three words you an use to make claims for each of the candidates I believe are the best point guards in the NBA today. So far this season, we've seen 4 guys really step it up to lead their teams. Rajon Rondo, Steve Nash, Chris Paul and Deron Williams have thus far shown what it takes to lead a team up court and give their team the best possible chance to win. Although none of these guys are new to the spotlight, it has never been easy to pick which one is the best at what they do.
