SQUEEZE the ORANGE NBA Power Rankings VALENTINE'S Day Edition..WHOSE your VALENTINE?..BULLS HUGS n KISSES..HEAT 4 KEEPS..I LOVE L.A...THUNDER BE TRUE

Imagine that your SQUEEZE taking you to see that ORANGE SPALDING and BENNY the BULL do his thing, or KNICKS FANS showing their VALENTINE for JEREMY LIN, and SUPERMAN of MOUSE TOWN Dwight Howard dropping DUNK after DUNK and throwing CANDY HEARTS in the CROWD telling the MAGIC Faithful....Superman loves you and will miss you all when I am gone.

It is VALENTINE's DAY 2012 and it is TIME for your TEAM to start showing their FAITHFUL...how BIG is your VALENTINE? The BULLS go 6-3 on their latest road trip. The LAKEshow still not quite right on their last ROAD TRIP. The KNICKS have POINT GUARD and soon to be POINT GOD Jeremy LIN captivating everything in the BIG GRANNY SMITH and becoming 2nd in line to JAY and BEYONCE's New Addition BLUE IVY.

The NBA is in full circle and the ALL-STAR Game is right around the corner but something is missing. The BIG TICKET and the BIG FUNDAMENTAL...GARNETT and DUNCAN respectively will not be in the ALL-STAR Game for the 1st Time in 15 Years as they established themselves as the PROTOTYPE Forwards when they entered the LOGO. BIG UPS from the BLUEDUDE and see you both in SPRINGFIELD MASS.....ASAP.

Now the SQUEEZE the ORANGE NBA Power Rankings VALENTINE'S Day EDITION...sponsored by THAT SPECIAL DAY..DON'T Get left in the COLD...and be BOLD...and convince your loved one if not this time but next time in GOLD....HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY from BLUEDUDE SPORTSTALK:

1. BULLS (3) 23-7: The ONLY NBA TEAM with 20 games on the ROAD already and they are 14-6 on the ROAD and 9-1 on the WEST SIDE. D-ROSE needs to get healthy but they are still playing at a HIGH LEVEL. That WINNING % will go up because the HOME GAMES will start to come in abundance.

2. THUNDER (1) 21-6: They are still the TEAM to beat with KD TREY 5 and WHY NOT? 0. The weakest part of the LINK is NO BACKUP PG due to the ACL Tear from Eric MAYNOR earlier in the season. But they say, " IF it isn't BROKE..DON'T Fix it".

3. HEAT (2) 22-7: minus the WADE COUNTY throwing the BALL up near the SHOT CLOCK and KING JAMES finding WAYS to get to the ORANGE and hammer it...all is well in the 305. On any given night if these DUDES put on their CONSTRUCTION HATS and take off them WASHINGTON STREET DUDS they can GO IN on anybody....i mean anybody.

4. SPURS (14) 19-9: Now that MANU is back in the FOLD lookout for the SPURS as they rode T PARKER when MANU was out and now they need a serviceable BIG. Not a 4 or a 5 but a guy who is taller than BLAIR and can be a presence in the HALF COURT SPURS Sets to frre up their WINGS and BACK COURT Players. With POPS calling the SIGNALS the SPURS are FLIPMODE SQUAD....DANGEROUS.

5. MAVERICKS (6) 18-11: Don't look NOW but the MAVS are back in tha building in a BIG WAY and DIRKiliscious is starting to heat up and carry that MAVS Offense. Many don;t think what the BLUEDUDE thinks but the MAVS are a real threat to make it back into WEST FINALS and anything can go then.

6. 76ERS (10) 20-9: Look before you JUMP on the SIXERS Bandwagon they have played 18 games at home and ONLY 11 on the ROAD which tells you that that 9 in the LOSS Column can easily start to go SOUTH. They have an ALL-STAR in IGGY IGUODALA and they have young STAR Power in EVAN, THAD, JRUE, and SPENCER. Coach COLLINS is doing what he does making the YOUNG GUYS become PROFESSIONALS and having BRAND and IGGY lead them.

7. CLIPPERS (5) 17-9: LOB City is an exciting thing to watch on a nightly basis...BUT...What if I TOLD YOU the DEFENSE is a lot better in WINNING TIME so LOB City in the PLAYOFFS might become we need a DEFENSIVE STOP City. NO BANNERS are won on LOBS and SPORTSCENTER Highlights and keep looking in the STAPLES Center RAfters...Mr. BLAKE GRIFFIN talkin' YOU DON'T CARE...C'MON BLAKEshow you do because you WANT what they have....BANNERS.

8. HAWKS (4) 18-10: OK....J-SMOOVE 5 didn't get an ALL-STAR invite and Joe JOHNSON did. The HAWKS best player and the player that plays HARD every RIP is J-SMOOVE now that AL HORFORD is out for the SEASON. The BIG PEACH Drop needs to play more consistent vs the GOOD TEAMS.

9. PACERS (7) 17-10: Irritating FOES by celebrating everytime they BEAT YOU will run out soon. This isn't COLLEGE BASKETBALL where you might play 3 times in a WEEK....MIGHT. The PACERS have 3 Bonafide All-STAR in GRANGER, WEST, and 2012 Invite HIBBERT. They will be a PROBLEM come WINNING TIME but they must take each GAME one at a time.

10. LAKERS (11) 16-12: Still they look out of sync or they need to ADD something else to the POT. LAM LAM was a HUGE LOSS to the MAVS as they may face MAVS again in the PLAYOFFS. The PLAY of DREW and PAU was encouraging inn a sense that the LAKERS need them 2 to PLAY BIG and help KOBE every game. They still need a POINT GUARD or an Athletic COMBO that is proven in the LOGO.

11. MAGIC (13) 18-11: They have 18 WINS so you say why aren't the MAGIC rated HIGHER in the POLL? Well for ONE they have really struggled at HOME and if you look in the WEST those TOP TEAMS or TEAMS 1-6 WIN at home a lot. In the PLAYOFFS it is crucial to WIN at HOME and make the HOME COURT Advantage WORK.

12. CELTICS (9) 15-12: They cooled off because they didn't have RONDO back yet. But the C's will be a PROBLEM in the PLAYOFFS because of their experience and they have DOC RIVERS on their BENCH a SUPREME Motivator and the best X and O coach in the LOGO at making adjustments on the FLY.

13. ROCKETS (15) 16-12: They have been the surprise in the WEST going on about 3 weeks and they have Really Good Pieces between the 2-4. SCOLA leads them with Kevin MARTIN but former 'NOVA WILDCAT Point Guard Kyle LOWRY has playing at a HIGH LEVEL. They play excellent D and the ROCKETS might be a factor in the WEST come MID-APRIL.

14. KNICKS (NR) 13-15: Jeremy LIN LIN LIN no matter WHAT and without MELO and STAT impressive. But when they come back what then.....that is the CENTRAL PARK Question of the BIG GRANNY SMITH.

15. NUGGETS (8) 16-12: Was just 14-7 and beating everyone on their schedule. Now they are 2-5 in their last 7 and the injury to GALLANARI is huge at the SMALL FORWARD. Now Coach KARL has to find out what his team is really made of.

16. trailBLAZERS (16) 15-13: They are still missing pieces and they can ONLY milk their 1st TIME All-STAR LaMarcus ALDRIDGE for so long until he will need help. MATTHEWS, BATUM, CRAWFORD, and FELTON must step up and play way bigger than they have in order for the BLAZERS to make any noise in the WEST.
