Hollingers NBA power rankings week 3

Another week, another Hollingers NBA power rankings.

Here I talk about the top 5:

1. New Orleans Hornets: 1 word to describe this team, undefeated. Yup you heard me, they are the only remaining team that hasn't lost. 8-0, #1 in the western conference right now and #1 in their division. To be honest it's really not surprising since Chris Paul, arguably the best point guard in the NBA is back in his All Star form and making an early buzz for MVP. 

2. Miami Heat: Standing at 6-4, they suffered their very first 2 game losing streak. First one was against the Utah Jazz. That game was "on paper" theirs to take. They had 40+ FT attempts to the Jazz's 20+ but apparently Utah Jazz Paul Millsap went NBA Jam on them and finished with a career-high 46 pts. Second loss was against the green leprechauns (Boston Celtics). The recipe to beating this team? A crazy Point Guards ( Rajon Rondo / Deron Williams / Chris Paul) and forwards to compliment the crazy PG's. For sure though that we know the Miami Heat will not lose in a blow out. 

3. Boston Celtics: If the Miami Heat got their "Big 3", The Boston Celtics got their "Big 4". Rajon Rondo is improving, Kevin Garnett is 100% not to mention he's still being the KG that we all love, Paul Pierce doing his thing, flopping and tackling people. Ray Allen still got the sexiest jumper in the league and an improved bench that consists of Jermaine O'Neil and Shaquille O'Neil. So I can't really doubt why they're 8-2 as of week 3. Just don't make Rondo take ridiculous clutch 3's

4. Los Angeles Lakers: Well the defending champs is 4th on Hollingers power rankings. They dropped 2 spots from last week after dropping 2 straight games. Theres not much to say besides their defense sucks these past few games. Offense may not be a problem but defensively, the defending champs are looking like the Golden State Warriors. Although, they are still the defending champs so it would be overreaction from fans to be all sensitive about this 2 straight loses.

5. Denver Nuggets: Even with the "Melo Drama" looming around, the Denver Nuggets still is a good team believe or not. Carmelo Anthony is still playing like an all star despite his uncertain future with the team. As good as they are, they got torched for 54 3rd quarter points by the Indiana Pacers who went 20-21 FG

Offseason randomness starring Carmelo Anthony

I must admit, this year NBA off season must be one the most craziest. Lets give a short recap:

1. The 3 musketeers joining one team a.k.a Miami Heats Tripod of power (or disaster whichever you prefer).
2. Chris Paul demanding for a trade. (that went nowhere)
3. Dan Gilberts break up letter to Lebron. (Which is nowhere to be found anymore.)
4. The burning of LeBron's jersey in Cleveland
5. Team USA finally winning gold in the FIBA World Championship since 1994
5. And the most recent one: Carmelo Anthony Demanding for a trade.

Which by the way brings me to this Classic Carmelo Anthony video




If you've watched the 2010 NBA playoffs, then I am pretty sure you've got your share of laughs. Oh hey carmelo instead of asking for a trade to the Knicks or Bulls why not ask for a trade in utah? I mean they were playing this commercial during the 2010 playoffs against Utah IN Utah home.

Anyways I now leave you with a spoof of the commercial starring NBA's comedic bigman Kyrylo Fesenko. (you're not the only one who is special carmelo.)
