NBA Power Rankings DECEMBER 2K13 Edition..."SQUEEZE the ORANGE" with a look at the best in the LOGO in the 1st Power Rankings for the 2013-14 NBA Season at Bluedude Sportstalk #NBAPowerRankingsDec2K13

We are already in the 2nd week in December in the Logo and the West has won. The Western Conference has some 10 Teams either at .500 or above the .500 mark. The is a Three-Trick Pony with just the Champs 305, Gold Swagger Indy, and the Highlight Factory 404 at or above the .500 mark. Those two team in the East at the top if you haven't heard...are absolute monsters. The 2013 December NBA Power Rankings and what is the over and under the East has three teams in the Top 10?

December 2013 NBA Power Rankings:
Note: No Previous Rankings as this is Bluedude Sportstalk's 1st Power Rankings

1. #GoldSwagger (18-3): They have been lights out since the Orange tipped back in October. As we go to press they have to be the favorites to get out the East.

2. #RipCity (17-4): They are legit as they just beat the Pacers this past week and they have an emerging All-Logo 1st Teamer in LaMarcus "L-Train" Aldridge.

3. #SpursCommunity (15-4): They are doing what the Spurs do and that is stay at or near the top of the heap and then turn it on in Winning Time. Just so darn consistent and they are better and deeper than the 2012-13 version.

4. #RegulatorsReportOKC (15-4): Point God Russ Westbrook is back into the fold and they are now doing it with even younger reinforcements. Can that new-look off the Bench get them out of the West in the "Fight for Larry"?

5. #Champs305 (16-5): Wade County's Knee is a huge concern as they put a Feeler out there on Craig's List and E-Bay for a Shooting Guard. I have yet to see @MiamiHeat Tweet the Job Posting....

6. #RedNation (15-7): They are starting to put two and two together as James and Dwight are putting it together but they are a long way from Dream and "Clyde the Glyde" of Phi Slamma Jamma and Clutch City in the 90s.

7. #NewClipJoint (13-8): The CLips still have something missing and we are starting to see the ill effects of losing Sniper JJ from #DukeInTheNBA. Are the Clips better than the 2012-13 version we saw get bounced out of the "Fight for Larry" by Team Grit & Grind of Beale Street.

8. #MAVS (13-8): Say what you ant but Big D's and Team Shark Tank's Favorite Bubble Gum DIRK-iliscious is back and with a new Back Court in Spain's Jose and Mississippi's Monta!

9. #MileHighNUGS (12-8): The Nuggets started slow but are starting to get a feel for New Lead Man B-Shaw's Style and the Nugs have some exciting pieces. They need Javale back ASAP and Danillo Gallanari is most likely out for 2013-14 or a late March Return one would think.

10. #WarriorsGround (12-9): Mark Jackson's Bunch is in Peaks and Valleys but are super-dangerous. Iggy of Planet Oracle has been out but Custodian Harrison Barnes is oozing with Upside that is starting to ooz out!

11. #SunsNation (11-9): Something told me La Grange, Illinois Lyons H.S. Star and Iowa State Cyclone Walk-On under Coaching Legend Johnny Orr and Phoenix Suns and Utah Jazz Legend Jeff Hornacek looked the part and would play the part. The Young Suns are two games over the .500 mark...enough said!

12. #HighlightFactory404 (11-10): The Atlanta Hawks are moving in the right direction under New Lead man Mile Budenholzer as that Teague, Horford, and Milsap "Peachtree Street Fusion" is pretty darn solid.

13. #LakerGang (10-10): The Lakers have the Black Mamba back but be careful as Kobe is Kobe and he is Kobe of old. The Lakers Young Pups like Wes, Nick at Nite 2.0, Jodie, and the X-Man still need to have their space to play...Kobe!

14. #GreenTeam (10-12): It's the Players but it is also Brad Steven of Hinkel Fieldhouse Lore that has the Celts believing as a Top-Flight High School Team could believe if they played in the NBA East. Watch the C's as Rondo should be back here soon to give them even more of a boost...

15. #DeeeeetroitBasketball (10-11): New Lead Man Mo Cheeks is getting them pointed in the right direction and give that J-Smoove 5, Monroe, and Drummond another season...lookout NBA East and the NBA!

16. #StateBIRDLouisiana (9-10): Laugh if you want to as the Pelicans are looking like the Pistons just another year needed and the West will be in trouble. Anthony Davis going down with a fractured hand hurt...

17. #TeamGrit&Grind (9-10): Did the Memphis Grizzlies Brass sit with this Roster a little too long or not getting Coach Lionel Hollins back into the Fold hurt....or a little of both?

18. #10KLakesBoyz (9-11): They were playing well until they jumped of the wagon as the "Lake Oswego Monster" is a just that at Power Forward. "La Pistola" has been as good as advertised running the point and K-Mart and "Brew Crew" Brewer have been a solid fusion into that T'Wolves Roster. Has anyone seen David Kahn...Flip Saunders is doing what he does and maybe he is a better Personnel Guy than X and O's...hmmmm!

19. #WizKidsDC (9-10): John Wall has been doing his thing New & Improved as they need Bradley Beal back but the Wiz are right there and should be headed north slowly but surely.

20. #mikeCATS (9-11): Someone tell me that Jeff Taylor of Vandy in the picked in the 2012 2nd Round was a steal. He is now starting at the SF for a hurt M.K.G. and is more-polished all-around. These are different 'Cats and they have Kemba at the 1 and Big All of Prentiss, MS at the 5 and all that Cat in between....Meow or it is Rooooooar!

21. #WestSideStoryReportBULLS (8-10): What is there to say...they lose D-Rose but he might be back in the Playoffs but the Bulls need to make move on that Roster as a few pieces are missing as the NBA Gods have spoken again and it' no coincidence!                            

22. #Dinosaurs (7-12): First order of Business they get rid of "Rudy the Raptor" and watch how the Raptors start evolving into a solid unit...real talk!

23. #CAVS (7-13): I wonder if Dion Waiters is still out there for the taking since that heated Team Meeting featuring Dion calling out reportedly Kyrie and Tristan Thompson for playing "Buddy Ball"?

24. #SeventySixers (7-14): They lost Rook Point God M.C.W. for a few games and the Sixers have fallen back to reality a little...is Thad-Ex that is Sixers Custodian Thaddeus Young on the Trading Block?

25. #OMagic (6-14): Young Team still trying to find its way but that Rook Victor Oladipo is some kind of player...and so is Nikola Vucevic, Tobias Harris, Andrew Nicholson, Arron Affalo, and Mo Harkless are the Nucleus a darn good one.

26. #BKNets (6-14): They have to fix it soon or my Christmas Games are going to take a hit...as that Nets vs Bulls 11am CT Tilt is looking like the Sun Bowl....Booooring!

27. #KnicksTape (5-14): They were on a two-game Win Streak and then they get a Crime Scene put on them at New MSG by of all Teams the Boston Celtics as Knicks Lead Man Mike Woodson will be gone Monday December 9th....wait n see!

28. #ForeverPurple (5-13): They are getting Rudy Gay now to add to a nice and talented unit...as Guards Isaiah Thomas and Ben McLemore are the "Ish" of the future!

29. #FearTheDEER (4-16): They need Colonel Sanders back but they also need an influx of Talent and maybe New Digs as the Bradley Center is old hat...

30. #SaltPalaceJazz (4-18): I just don't know....really!
