Happy New Year and welcome to this week’s edition of the NBA Cellar Dweller Power Rankings!
This group of teams finally picked up some wins from outside the group, including a big Portland win over the Dallas Mavericks and a Raptors win over the soon-to-join-us-here Brooklyn Nets. I’m just holding out on adding them until someone overpays for Cam Johnson.
If you’d like a refresher, here’s last week’s rankings.
6. Portland Trail Blazers
Last week’s ranking: 5
This week’s record: 1-2 (win over Dallas, losses to Philly and the Lakers)
