Hot
A weak schedule was just what the Thunder needed, as they beat up on Cleveland and Minnesota, as well as the struggling Hornets. They also had some help this week, as most of the teams directly in front of them took a nosedive.
Philadelphia followed in the Thunder's footsteps this week, trouncing the lowly Cavaliers and the overrated Hornets, with a very close loss to the Celtics sandwiched in between. This week should be similar, with easy games against the Nets and Clippers followed by tougher games with the Lakers and Magic.
The Boston Celtics extended their winning streak to 10 this week with wins over the Nuggets, 76ers and Bobcats. They face a challenge on Wednesday with the equally hot Knicks at Madison Square Garden, followed by games with the underrated Hawks and Pacers.
Not
The Phoenix Suns followed up their 3-0 week with an 0-3 week, with a pair of losses to the previously struggling Trail Blazers and a heartbreaking overtime loss to the Grizzlies. The losses to Portland dropped the Suns to 9th place in the West, one half game behind the Blazers in the race for the final playoff spot.
The Cleveland Cavaliers take over the bottom spot this week after a week in which they seemed completely uninspired. Is it just a coincidence that the Cavaliers went cold and the Heat got hot right after their first meeting of the season on December 2? The two teams currently have 8 game streaks going in opposite directions, with another matchup scheduled for this Wednesday.
For the past 3 weeks, the Hornets have followed a pattern of losing two games then winning one. That strategy is not a good one for a team that wants to earn a spot in the playoffs, but it could be a good thing if the pattern continues tonight, as New Orleans is in Miami to face one of the league's hottest teams.
