The first installment of the 2k18-19 NBA Power Rankings hits Bluedude Sportstalk and what's the point of coming out a month or so ago. I let the "Cream" start to rise to the top as around Christmas in "Logo Watch" teams start separating themselves.
The new "Beast in the East" now that LeBron James is no longer playing home games near Lake Erie is on Lake Ontario and that would be the Toronto Raptors led by the "Klaw" Kawhi Leonard. The Dinosaurs just came off of a motel swing out West where they thumped G.S.W. prompting one Kevin Durant to say when asked if the Raptors have arrived he said," No...they are already here"!
The Milwaukee Bucks riding the "Greek Freak" Giannis Antetokounmpo is sitting at 2nd and they are also here to stay as Bucks lead man Mike Budenholzer has them stacked, racked and all rotations packed for a deeeeep run in the "Fight4Larry dba Larry O'Brien Trophy.
Out west the Golden State Warriors are sitting off the pace as Mile High Basketball wears the Yellow Jersey west of the Mississippi with G.S.W. coming up the rear and the "Regulators Report" O.K.C. at Bluedude Sportstalk for Thunder Hoops sits at #3.
LeBron has taken Lake Nation by storm and "Logo Watch" once again and the Purple and Gold sits at the #4 slot with Dame Dolla, the "Engineer" C.J. and Rip City dba "The Only Game in Town" at #5. Now the first installment of the NBA Power Rankings for 2k18-19 at Bluedude Sportstalk:

360 Degrees
the "Klaw" and the "Greek Freak" are at the top of the heap and going nowhere but up as the East will go through one or both...
Nuggets have the pieces at least in 82 as we have yet to see what that will translate into mid-April and beyond...
the Champs will be there in April and beyond but the most interesting thing moving forward is here comes the "logo's only Boogie Man...lookout G.S.W. Opponents
Pacers, Thunder, Celtics, Blazers, 76ers and Lakers have the Arrows pointing north and green for now but how steady are they...
Doc Rivers had them playing atop the west and now "Reality" sits in as you lose three games in a row out west you go from #1 to #5...
Luka Doncic has been even better than advertised and has the Mavs floating above water in the west...
A healthy Mike Conley Jr. will have you a real threat in the West and I love the Rook "Bloodline" Jaren Jackson Jr...
The Houston Rockets as I see a lot of folks talking James Harden ruining Hoops no its the style of play that is ruining Hoops...the money ball is now the dunk and the further you shoot the better and its all 3 points go figure!
Spurs losing Dejounte Murray was bigger than most would have thought but losing the "Klaw" might have set the Spurs back for a few seasons...
For the bottom feeders the Pelicans and Jazz I look to make a huge moves come Take 2 in the "Squeeze the Orange" Power Rankings...
