NBA Power Rankings 1-5

1
Dallas
67-15
Is this Dallas' year? Only one team that's won at least 65 regular season games has failed to win the title. The other 10 all raised banners.

2
San Antonio
58-24
Can we all now put the whole Joey Crawford situation to rest and put focus where it should be ... on Allen Iverson, Carmelo Anthony, Marcus Camby, etc.?

3
Phoenix
61-21
I'm going to say it now: Don't expect the Lakers to get up 3-1 on this Suns team. Not going to happen.

4
Detroit
53-29
I keep saying it: The Pistons won't sweep Orlando in the first round; It's not what they do. They'll lose focus and give up a game, as they did to the Bucks (twice) and Philly in each of the last three Playoffs.

5
Houston
52-30
A key to the Houston-Utah series: The glass. The Rockets are 38-12 when outrebounding an opponent, while the Jazz are 41-15 in the same situation.
