SQUEEZE the ORANGE NBA Power Rankings for APRIL 2K13...It will be a PHOTO FINISH for Thirteen of the Sixteen Playoff Slots...#Champs305 #ALAMOcitySpurs #YoungGunzOKC on Auto-Pilot

As Winning Time is near in the Logo one thing is for certain no one except for the Miami Heat and Heat Nation is on solid ground. Seeds four through six in the East are still in the air as the #4 Nets try to hold off the Bulls and Hawks. The Spurs lead the Thunder by 1 game with five games to go for the best record in the West and it is crucial to home court throughout. The Lakers are battling the Salt Palace Jazz for that "Crazy 8" seed in the West. With Winning Time around the corner and through them trees over there who is going to finish with a "Splash Play" or two?

Top 16 Teams in the April 2K13 Power Rankings

1. CHAMPS 305 #HeatNation (1) 60-16...who is going to "Throw Spalding Oranges at the Heat's Throne"?...King James, Wade County, Coach Spo, and Heat Nation are ready....are you?

2. ALAMO City SPURS #SpursNation (2) 57-20...they win out the West #1 Seed is in the AT&T Center...they lose the #1 Seed they are still the Spurs and that is trouble enough.

3. YOUNG Gunz OKC #RegulatorsReportOKC (3) 56-21...that lost to the KnicksTape was a bad loss and came at the worst time for the Thunder. They must win out and hope the Spurs trip once more.

4. Mile High NUGGETS #NugsBiz (6) 53-24...they will miss #2 Scorer Danillo Gallanari (16.2 ppg) from that ACL Tear but they have Brew and Dr. Chandler at the Small Forward which is an Huge Upgrade on D and they can fill it up. No one in the West wants the Nugs Biz...No one.

5. KNICKS NATION #KNICKStape (8) 50-26...the Thunder tried to put that Fire out and that Bully from taking Thunder Per Diem...neither happened in favor of the Young Gunz OKC. The Knicks look like those Pat Riley Mid-90s Boys without that Nastiness. #PutOnForNYC #Knickstape

6. GRIND HOUSE #GrizzNation (5) 52-25...the Grizz will be a tough out because they lay their hat on the defensive end and that's something that doesn't come with a On and Off Switch. If they don;t go to the West Finals is Lead Man Hollins out in Memphis?

7. New CLIP Joint #LOBcity (4) 51-26...they beat the Lakers to clinch the first Pacific Title in 42 years but they are sliding south a little as only the Clips can. Can Clips Lead Man VDN handle the Pressure and get the Clips to the West Finals? No....Note: Lakers collect Pacific Division Titles like you collect Quiz Games on the side of that Large Dunkin' Donuts' Coffee Cup...Stop Playing Clips!

8. NAPtown PACERS #GoldSwagger (7) 48-29...they get the Doors blown off of them by the Young Gunz OKC but they are the one team outside for the Knicks that put a Scare into Coach Spo and the Heat. I said Scare Pacer Nation don't get too overzealous as they have King James and you don't.

9. "BROOKLYN has a Home Team" #BarclaysGang (9) 44-32...the COO of the Barclays..D-Will 8 has gotten some of that Mojo back that made him an Elite Logo Point God and got him a huge Direct Deposit. Can the Nets make any noise in Winning Time as you know what Nets Owner Prokhorov wants ASAP...real talk...or Heads will roll in Brooklyn.

10. GSW #DUBnation #WarriorsGround (10) 44-33...They will be a tough out but as of now they will get the Mile High Nuggets so maybe a step back to the #7 seed and the Thunder or Spurs is better or pick your Poison. Young Steph "Fresh to Death" and Run T.L.C. can be a problem.

11. ROCKETS Gang #REDnation (13) 43-34...the Rockets are a Team that is young and hungry and when they get into Winning Time what's to lose. How about "Fear the Beard" #13 in Round 1 opening in Thunder Alley where it all started....Wowza! @JHarden13 will be all out vs his Old Team and he could be a Seven Game Problem as his Texas Plates read FEARBEARD13...Lol

12. SEE RED #DaBulls (12) 42-34...the Bulls have been running on fumes, the Check Engine Light has been on, Bad Breaks, busted out tail lights, Coffee Spills and Gum all over the Interior, and No ADIzero See Red Hero..D-Rose. Lucky the Blackhawks are playing in the Madhouse on Madison as well.

13. HIGHLIGHT Factory 404 #HawksPride (11) 42-36... The Hawks look like the #6 seed and that will get them the Pacers in Round 1 which is a favorable match up for the Hawks.

14. GREEN TEAM #theCs #CeltsNation (14) 40-37... The Celtic are locked into the 7th seed in the East and they will get the Knicks in round 1 and that is Theatre enough. The "Honey Nut Cheerios" Series will go Seven....write it down.

15. SALT PALACE #JazzNation (NR) 41-37...the Jazz win out they will get the #8 seed and send the LAKEshow home and that is good news. The bad news is the Spurs or Thunder are waiting.

16. BUCKS #FEARtheDeer (16) 37-39...the Bucks Beer Town Lefty B-Jennings has already said we want to play the Heat. Ask Brandon that say around April 28th a week after Winning Time starts.
