NEW YORK, May 2, 2007 – Brandon Roy of the Portland Trail Blazers will receive the Eddie Gottlieb Trophy as the 2006-07 T-Mobile NBA Rookie of the Year, the NBA announced today.

Roy received 127 out of a possible 128 first-place votes (638 points) from a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada. Toronto’s Andrea Bargnani finished second with 264 points and Memphis’ Rudy Gay finished third with 93 points. Players were awarded five points for each first-place vote, three points for each second-place vote and one point for each third-place vote received.

Drafted with the sixth overall pick in the 2006 NBA Draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves, Roy was traded to Portland for the draft rights to Randy Foye. He averaged rookie highs of 16.8 points, 4.0 assists and 35.4 minutes in 57 games. Roy also ranked among rookie leaders in steals (1.18 spg, 2nd), rebounds (4.4 rpg, 7th), free-throw percentage (.838, 3rd), three-point field goal percentage (.377, 6th), and field goal percentage (.456, 6th).

Roy scored at least 20 points 16 times, including a career-high 29 vs. Utah on April 4, and he led the team in scoring in seven of his final 10 games of the season. Roy twice had three consecutive games of at least 20 points (March 22-25 and Mar. 31-Apr. 6). His 20-point performance opening night (Nov. 1, 2006) at Seattle ranks third all-time for a Portland rookie playing in his first NBA game. The only other Portland rookies to score more points on opening night were Mychal Thompson (23 points) and Geoff Petrie (21 points).

A three-time T-Mobile Western Conference Rookie of the Month selection (January, February and March), Roy represented the Trail Blazers in the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam, finishing with six points, three rebounds, four assists and a steal in 24 minutes.

Building upon its already strong appeal to the nation's youth and as the Official Wireless Services Partner of the NBA, T-Mobile is showcasing the NBA's youngest players -- the Rookies -- through the NBA's Rookie program. Highlights include rookie awards presentations including the T-Mobile Rookie of the Year, and the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam, an All-Star competition between NBA rookies and second-year players. At this year's competition during NBA All-Star 2007, T-Mobile, along with NBA Cares, hosted more than 6,000 area students in the lower bowl of the arena for a special night of watching some of the best basketball players in the world. This is a part of T-Mobile's continued efforts to connect kids to positive people, places and programs.

The Eddie Gottlieb Trophy is named in honor of Eddie Gottlieb, one of the NBA’s founders who coached the Philadelphia Warriors to the NBA championship in 1946-47.

Following are the voting results for the 2006-07 T-Mobile NBA Rookie of the Year Award and the all-time list of winners:

Duncan, Bowen and Kidd Only Players Named to Last Seven NBA All-Defensive Teams
NEW YORK, April 30, 2007 – Bruce Bowen and Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs highlight the 2006-07 NBA All-Defensive Teams, the NBA announced today. Duncan leads all players with his 10th selection, while his teammate Bowen, the leading vote-getter, earns his seventh appearance.

Also selected to the First Team is 2006-07 NBA Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Camby of the Denver Nuggets at center, his third such honor. Rounding out the First Team are guards Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers, who earns his seventh selection, and Raja Bell of the Phoenix Suns, making his first appearance on an All-Defensive team.

Bowen’s and Duncan’s defense helped the Spurs hold opponents to 90.1 ppg (first in NBA) and .433 from the field (third). San Antonio has finished in the top five in both categories in each of Duncan’s 10 seasons. Camby led the NBA in blocks (3.30 bpg) to go along with 11.7 rpg (tied for fourth in NBA). Bryant ranked 17th in steals with 1.44 per game, while Bell often matches up against the opposition’s best offensive player.

Camby averaged a league-high 3.30 blocks and also led all centers in steals.


Seventh player in NBA history with at least three blocked shot titles
NEW YORK, April 27, 2007 – The NBA announced today that Marcus Camby of the Denver Nuggets has won the 2006-07 NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award.

The 6-11 forward/center averaged a league-high 3.30 blocks to go along with 11.7 rpg (tied for fourth in the NBA), 11.2 ppg and a career-high 3.2 apg. Camby led the Nuggets in starts (70) and recorded a career-best 32 games with double figures in both points and rebounds. Camby also led all centers in steals (1.24 spg), while his assists were second among centers.

Since entering the NBA in 1996, Camby has been one of the game’s best shot blockers. His career average of 2.56 blocks ranks fourth among all active players and has led the league in blocks on three occasions – 1997-98, 2005-06 and 2006-07. Camby joins George Johnson, Dikembe Mutombo, Hakeem Olajuwon and Theo Ratliff with three blocked shots titles, and is just one title behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Mark Eaton for the most all-time.

Camby continues to work his way up the Nuggets’ all-time charts. He ranks second on the team’s all-time blocked shot list with 841 and is seven rebounds shy of passing Dan Schayes (3,086) for 10th on the Nuggets all-time rebounding list.

Camby received 431 points, including 70 first-place votes, from a panel of 130 sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada. San Antonio’s Bruce Bowen finished second with 206 points and his teammate Tim Duncan finished third with 158 points. Players were awarded five points for each first-place vote, three points for each second-place vote and one point for each third-place vote received.

Golden State’s Ellis Wins 2006-07 NBA Most Improved Player Award

NBA/News 2007. 4. 27. 06:27
Closest Race Ever as Ellis Edges Sacramento’s Martin for Honor
NEW YORK, April 26, 2007 – Monta Ellis of the Golden State Warriors was named the winner of the 2006-07 NBA Most Improved Player Award, the NBA announced today. The annual award is presented to a player who has made a dramatic improvement from the previous season or seasons.

Ellis received a total of 352 points, including 47 first-place votes, from a panel of 129 sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada. The Sacramento Kings’ Kevin Martin finished second with 349 points (44 first-place votes) followed by the Utah Jazz’s Deron Williams with 101 points (13 first-place votes). Players were awarded five points for each first-place vote, three points for each second-place vote and one point for each third place vote received. This is the closest finish in the history of the award since 1990-91 when Scott Skiles of Orlando edged out Kevin Gamble of Boston by four votes

After averaging 6.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists and .415 shooting for the Warriors in 2005-06, Ellis increased his scoring by 9.7 points (16.5 ppg) – the largest increase in the NBA this season -- to go along with his averages of 3.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.71 steals. Starting 53 of the 77 games he appeared in, Ellis reached double figures in scoring 68 times, including 24 games of 20 or more points. The 6-3 guard recorded three or more steals 20 times and had at least five steals three times, including a career-high six at Seattle (March 17).

Selected by the Warriors in the second round of the 2005 NBA Draft (40th overall), Ellis was second only to Chris Paul (17.2 ppg) of the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets in scoring among players from that Draft class. Ellis also noticed a significant increase in his assist numbers as he dished five or more assists 33 times, including a career-high 13 at the Los Angeles Clippers (Feb. 24).

Toronto’s Sam Mitchell Awarded Red Auerbach Trophy

NBA/News 2007. 4. 25. 10:51
Third-Year Coach Guided Raptors to 20-Win Improvement Over 2005-06
NEW YORK, April 24, 2007 – Toronto Raptors head coach Sam Mitchell has been named the winner of the Red Auerbach Trophy as the NBA Coach of the Year for the 2006-07 season, the NBA announced today.

In his third season as the Raptors’ head coach, Mitchell totaled 394 points, including 49 first-place votes, from a panel of 128 sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada. Utah Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan was second with 301 points (39 first-place votes) and the Dallas Mavericks’ Avery Johnson was third with 268 points (28 first-place votes). Coaches were awarded five points for each first-place vote, three points for each second-place vote and one point for each third-place vote received.

Mitchell, the first coach in Raptors history to receive the honor, led the Raptors to their first Atlantic Division title and a franchise-record-tying 47 wins. The sixth head coach in franchise history, Mitchell guided the team to an NBA-best 20-game improvement (27-55) over the 2005-06 season. The Raptors were 30-7 this season when they scored 100 or more points and 38-4 when they had a better (or same) field goal percentage than their opponents.

In January, Mitchell became only the second coach in Raptors history to earn Eastern Conference Coach of the Month honors after leading the team to a 10-5 record. During the month, Toronto recorded a 7-3 mark at home and was 8-2 versus Eastern Conference opponents. January was the Raptors’ first 10-win month since January 2002 (11-5) and the fifth double-digit win month in franchise history. The Raptors finished January leading the Atlantic Division by one game with a 23-23 record and then compiled a 24-12 record to close out the rest of the season.

During his 13-year playing career, Mitchell was held in high regard around the league as a student of the game and when he finally hung up his sneakers in 2002, he went from student to teacher in his new role as an NBA coach. Following two seasons as an assistant coach, Mitchell was named the Raptors’ sixth head coach on June 29, 2004. Although the Raptors finished 33-49 in Mitchell’s first season, the campaign under his direction was highlighted by the implementation of a more up-tempo style of play that saw the team’s points per game average increase by 14.3 over the previous season, the third-highest jump in NBA history.

The Coach of the Year Award is named after legendary coach and Hall of Famer Red Auerbach who guided the Celtics to nine NBA Championships. In 1996, Auerbach was honored as one of the Top 10 Coaches in NBA History as the NBA celebrated its 50th anniversary.

Following are the balloting results for the 2006-07 NBA Coach of the Year award and the all-time list of winners:

Phoenix’s Barbosa Wins 2006-07 NBA Sixth Man Award

NBA/News 2007. 4. 25. 10:50
NEW YORK, April 23, 2007 – Leandro Barbosa of the Phoenix Suns has been named the winner of the 2006-07 NBA Sixth Man Award, honoring the league’s top player in a reserve role, the NBA announced today.

Barbosa received 578 out of a possible 635 points, including 101 of a possible 127 first-place votes, from a panel of 127 sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada. Manu Ginobili of the San Antonio Spurs finished second with 269 points and Jerry Stackhouse of the Dallas Mavericks placed third with 210 points. Each player was awarded five points for each first-place vote, three points for each second-place vote and one point for each third-place vote. In order to be eligible for this award, players had to have come off the bench in more games than they started.

The fourth year guard from Brazil becomes the fourth Suns player to win NBA Sixth Man honors, joining Eddie Johnson (1988-89), Danny Manning (1997-98) and Rodney Rogers (1999-00). Since the award’s inception in 1982-83, the Boston Celtics are the only other franchise to have had a winner on even three separate occasions – Kevin McHale (1983-84 and 1984-85) and Bill Walton (1985-86).

A reserve in 62 of 80 games played this season, Barbosa averaged 18.1 points, 4.0 assists and 2.7 rebounds. He posted career highs in scoring, assists, steals (1.20), three-point field goals made (190) and minutes played (32.7). Barbosa scored 20 or more points in 33 games this season, surpassing his total from his first three seasons combined (13).

Barbosa set new individual game career highs in points (32. vs. Charlotte on March 7 and again vs. Houston on March 12), rebounds (10 vs. Philadelphia, Nov. 17), assists (12 vs. Memphis, Nov. 11) and three point field goals (seven vs. Charlotte, March 7). He also notched three consecutive double-doubles (Nov. 11 vs. Memphis, Nov. 17 vs. Philadelphia and Nov. 18 at Utah) after not notching a single one in his first 196 career games.

The final rankings
By Steve Kerr, Yahoo! Sports
April 16, 2007

Steve Kerr
Yahoo! Sports
STEVE KERR'S THREE POINTS
Player of the Week
Ben Gordon – The Bulls' explosive guard averaged 24 points a game as Chicago went 3-0 to maintain its edge over Cleveland for the second seed in the Eastern Conference. Gordon made 53 percent of his shots on the week, including 11 of his 18 three-point attempts.

Team of the Week
Golden State Warriors – Golden State's surge continued with three straight blowout victories, including a 24-point blowout of the Jazz at home, and took over the eighth spot in the West. A win over Minnesota on Sunday put the Warriors at the .500 mark for the first time since January 7 when they were 18-18.

Game of the Week
Tuesday: Golden State Warriors at Dallas Mavericks – This game has playoff implications for both teams, even though the Mavericks have already locked up the No. 1 seed in the West. Why? Because the Warriors could be Dallas' first-round opponent if they remain the eighth seed. And since Golden State has won the first two meetings of the season with the Mavs, Avery Johnson has a choice: either rest his starters and don't worry about any emotional edge the Warriors might have, or send a message by playing to win.

When Dallas and San Antonio met in the second round of last year's playoffs despite having the two best records in the NBA, the league decided to make sure that scenario never happened again. The rules committee changed the playoff seeding format, guaranteeing each division champion only a top-four seed instead of a top-three seed.

It turns out the new rule didn't go far enough.

Once again, the NBA has a problem on its hands, due to a trio of Central Division teams that were the Eastern Conference's elite. Detroit, Chicago and Cleveland were the three best teams in the East this season, but either the Bulls or Cavs will be seeded fifth when the playoffs start Saturday thanks again to the league's "new" ridiculous seeding format.

Toronto and Miami will be seeded third and fourth, respectively, based on their division titles. The result is that the East's playoff brackets are totally unbalanced, with several of the conference's best clubs all on one side.

It's time for the league to do what it should have done in the first place when it expanded to six divisions three years ago: seed every team by record, regardless of division standing. Winning a division should guarantee a playoff spot, but nothing else.

There, I got that off my chest. Here are this season's final rankings before we head to the playoffs (records and statistics are through April 15):

Dallas 1. Dallas Mavericks (66-14, Last ranking: 1) – The Mavericks solidified their status as the NBA's best team with their 91-86 victory over San Antonio on Sunday. Now the hard part begins: trying to get back to the NBA finals.

Phoenix 2. Phoenix Suns (61-19, Last ranking: 3) – The Suns have won five in a row since a loss to the Spurs last week, and they've secured the No. 2 seed in the West in the process.

San Antonio 3. San Antonio Spurs (58-22, Last ranking: 2) – As well as the Spurs have played in the second half of the season, their early-season struggles may come back to haunt them. The three seed means a first-round matchup with red-hot Denver and no home court against either Phoenix or Dallas in later rounds.

Detroit 4. Detroit Pistons (51-29, Last ranking: 4) – The Pistons head to the playoffs as the favorites in the East, but a second-round matchup with either Miami or Cleveland looms.

Houston 5. Houston Rockets (51-29, Last ranking: 6) – Tracy McGrady is still looking for his first playoff series victory, and he looks ready. He's averaged 31 points during Houston's four-game win streak.

Chicago 6. Chicago Bulls (49-32, Last ranking: 7) – The Bulls are as stingy as ever when it comes to giving up points. A rout of Washington on Sunday was fueled by a smothering defense that held the Wizards to 34-percent shooting.

Cleveland 7. Cleveland Cavaliers (48-32, Last ranking: 8) – The Cavs are still hoping the Bulls slip and fall to New Jersey Wednesday. If not, they're looking at the fifth seed and a meeting with the Heat in the first found.

Toronto 8. Toronto Raptors (47-33, Last ranking: 9) – The Raptors are hoping to get Andrea Bargnani back for the playoffs.

Miami 9. Miami Heat (44-36, Last ranking: 11) – Dwyane Wade's numbers since his return? Four games, 16 points per game, 24-for-54 shooting.

Denver 10. Denver Nuggets (43-37, Last ranking: 10) – The Nuggets' eight-game winning streak was snapped in Memphis, but not before Denver secured the sixth seed and a date with the Spurs in the first round.

Utah 11. Utah Jazz (49-31, Last ranking: 5) – The Jazz will limp into their first-round series with Houston, having lost seven of their last nine games.

Golden State 12. Golden State Warriors (40-40, Last ranking: 14) – The Warriors' late-season playoff push has been fueled by a reenergized Jason Richardson, who is part of an ultra small lineup that is giving opponents fits.

L.A. Clippers 13. Los Angeles Clippers (39-41, Last ranking: 12) – A costly loss to Sacramento on Sunday – at home, no less – has left the Clips in a position where they need help to make the playoffs.

L.A. Lakers 14. Los Angeles Lakers (41-40, Last ranking: 13) – What happened to that once-promising season? The Lakers need to beat Sacramento on Tuesday just to finish above .500.

New Jersey 15. New Jersey Nets (39-41, Last ranking: 16) – Blowouts at the hands of Chicago and Cleveland don't bode well for the Nets' playoff chances: They're likely to play one of them in the first round.

Washington 16. Washington Wizards (40-40, Last ranking: 17) – With no Gilbert Arenas or Caron Butler, the Wizards are the team everyone in the East wants to play in the first round. It looks like Toronto will have the honor.

Orlando 17. Orlando Magic (38-42, Last ranking: 15) – The Magic are in the playoffs, but don't expect to see them hang around long.

New Orleans 18. New Orleans Hornets (37-43, Last ranking: 18) – Give the Hornets credit. They hung around the playoff chase for a long time despite numerous injuries.

Indiana 19. Indiana Pacers (35-45, Last ranking: 19) – After losing 21 of their last 27 games, the Pacers will miss the playoffs for the first time in 10 years.

Philadelphia 20. Philadelphia 76ers (34-46, Last ranking: 20) – Who could have predicted the Sixers would win 29 of 57 games since trading Allen Iverson? The only problem is that their draft position, barring a lottery miracle, got considerably lower.

Sacramento 21. Sacramento Kings (33-47, Last ranking: 26) – The Kings may be in for a rebuilding job after missing the playoffs for the first time in nine years.

Charlotte 22. Charlotte Bobcats (33-48, Last ranking: 23) – The Bobcats won seven of their last 10 games and have some hope for next season. Plenty of cap room, a lottery pick … things are looking up.

Portland 23. Portland Trail Blazers (32-48, Last ranking: 24) – Jarrett Jack scored 25 points and handed out five assists in a win over Seattle. He's trying to prove he's the Blazers' point guard of the future.

New York 24. New York Knicks (32-48, Last ranking: 22) – As the Knicks continue to tumble down the standings, the Bulls' draft choice gets higher and higher.

Minnesota 25. Minnesota Timberwolves (32-48, Last ranking: 21) – The Wolves shelved Kevin Garnett and made sure they hung onto their first-round draft pick, which would have gone to the Clippers if it hadn't been in the top 10.

Seattle 26. Seattle SuperSonics (31-50, Last ranking: 25) – Is this the last time we'll call the Sonics the Seattle Sonics? Let's hope not.

Atlanta 27. Atlanta Hawks (29-51, Last ranking: 27) – Is there anyone left on the roster to play the final week?

Milwaukee 28. Milwaukee Bucks (27-53, Last ranking: 28) – The Bucks-Hawks matchup on Monday figures to be a barnburner. Don't miss it.

Boston 29. Boston Celtics (23-57, Last ranking: 29) – The Celtics are hoping that either Kevin Durant or Greg Oden "comes walking through that door" in June.

Memphis 30. Memphis Grizzlies (20-60, Last ranking: 30) – Come on, pingpong balls!

Beware of the Nuggets
By Steve Kerr, Yahoo! Sports
April 9, 2007

Steve Kerr
Yahoo! Sports
STEVE KERR'S THREE POINTS
Team of the Week
Denver Nuggets – Denver not only beat the best team in the NBA last week – Dallas – but also handled two of its playoff-seeking counterparts, the Lakers and Clippers. Throw in a victory over Sacramento, and the Nuggets won all four games to move closer to a playoff berth. Carmelo Anthony averaged 27 points per game during the stretch and is playing his best basketball since early in the season.

Stat of the Week
2 – That's how many three-pointers Ruben Patterson and Eddy Curry had combined for the season before each hit one in the final second of the New York Knicks' overtime win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Patterson banked in his effort from the wing with 0.9 seconds left in regulation to put the Bucks up 102-99, only to be overshadowed when Curry tied the game with a three from the corner.

Game of the Week
Thursday: Los Angeles Clippers vs. Los Angeles Lakers – The battle for L.A. isn't quite as attractive as it was a year ago when both teams were really good. Still, there's always drama when these two clubs meet at Staples Center, and this game has playoff implications for both teams.

Ask any of the West's top teams which club it most wants to avoid in the first round of the playoffs, and the answer most likely would be Denver.

The Nuggets finally are healthy and clicking, and despite a difficult schedule George Karl's team has rattled off five straight wins to squeeze past the two L.A. teams to reach the No. 6 slot in the West.

It appears that the Allen Iverson/Carmelo Anthony combination finally is working for Denver, which complements the scoring punch of its All-Star tandem with a couple of shot-blocking big men in Nene and Marcus Camby.

The Nuggets' late-season surge has included wins over Phoenix and Dallas, and they'll conclude their regular season with a game against the Spurs next week. Beating any one of those three teams in a playoff series would be a major accomplishment, but with the way Denver is finally playing, it's not out of the question.

More importantly, the Nuggets' great week has pushed them back into the Yahoo! Sports top 10 this week. I'm sure, Karl and A.I. are thrilled at the news.

Here's a look at the rankings (records and statistics are through April 8):

Dallas 1. Dallas Mavericks (63-13, Last ranking: 1) – 매버릭스가  70승에 도달하진 못하겠지만, 그들의 초점은 플레이오프에 대한 준비와 건강에 맞춰져있다. 노비츠키와 하워드 둘다 지난주 부상으로 결장했다

San Antonio 2. San Antonio Spurs (55-21, Last ranking: 3) –피닉스전 승리로 스퍼스를 2위자리로 올려놨다.


Phoenix 3. Phoenix Suns (58-19, Last ranking: 2) – 두려움없는 친구인 바르보사는 거의 매일밤 뛰어난 활약을 보여주고 있다.


Detroit 4. Detroit Pistons (49-27, Last ranking: 5) – 벤 월라스가 빠진 시카고에서 홈에서 일격을 당했지만, 2승 1패로 지난주를 마감했다


Utah 5. Utah Jazz (48-28, Last ranking: 4) – 재즈는 서부 4번 시드를 차지하겠지만, 1라운드 홈코트 어드밴티지를 두고 휴스턴과 경쟁중이다. 더군다나 이번주에 힘든 스케쥴을 맞이할거다. : 골든 스테이트, 덴버, 댈러스, 피닉스...

Houston 6. Houston Rockets (48-29, Last ranking: 4) – 재즈와는 달리, 3연속 로터리 팀과 상대하는 쉬운 스케쥴이다. 비록 5번 시드일지라도 홈코트 어드밴티지를 따내기 위해서는 지금이 절호의 기회이다.

Chicago 7. Chicago Bulls (46-32, Last ranking: 8) – 불스가 클리블랜드를 제치고 동부 2번 시드로 올라섰다. 그 말은 즉, 동부 파이널에 올라갈 때까지 디트로이트와 마이애미를 피할수 있다는 말이지.
 

Cleveland 8. Cleveland Cavaliers (46-32, Last ranking: 7) – 캐버리어스는 시카고를 넘어서야만 한다. 왜냐하면 두팀이 동률이 된다면 타이브레이커를 불스가 가져가기 때문이다.


Toronto 9. Toronto Raptors (44-33, Last ranking: 9) – 조이 그레이험이 랩터스의 3연승에 큰 역할을 했다. 3연승 동안 평균 16득점을 기록했다.

Denver 10. Denver Nuggets (40-36, Last ranking: 14) – 네네가 좋은 활약을 펼치고 있다. 덴버의 5연승동안 평균 15득점에 8리바운드를 기록하고 있다.



Miami 11. Miami Heat (42-35, Last ranking: 11) – 드웨인 웨이드가 일요일 복귀했지만, 12득점, 6턴오버에 그치며 팀은 샬럿에 패했다. 역시 중요한건 플레이오프때까지 다치지않고 감을 되찾는 거다.

L.A. Clippers 12. Los Angeles Clippers (37-38, Last ranking: 13) – 클리퍼스는 지난주 홈에서 덴버에게 4쿼터를 앞두고 8점차리드를 지키지 못하고 패했다.


L.A. Lakers 13. Los Angeles Lakers (40-37, Last ranking: 10) – 레이커스에게 중대한 한주가 될거다. 월요일 덴버전이 있었고, 그 다음엔 클리퍼스와 선즈를 상대해야한다.


Golden State 14. Golden State Warriors (37-40, Last ranking: 15) – "Stayin' alive, stayin' alive." 워리어스는 휴스턴과 멤피스에서 중요한 원정 승리를 잡아냈지만, 이번 주에도 플레이오프를 위해서 좀 더 노력해야한다.

Orlando 15. Orlando Magic (35-41, Last ranking: 16) – 매직과 인디애나가 동부 8위 자리를 놓고 경쟁중이다. 이번주에 3번의 원정 게임이 남아있고, 올랜도는 이번 시즌 원정에서 겨우 12승 25패를 거두고 있을 뿐이다.

New Jersey 16. New Jersey Nets (36-40, Last ranking: 17) – 제이슨 키드와 빈스 카터가 둘다 트리플 더블을 기록하면서 워싱턴에게 연장 승리를 거뒀다. 한 팀 동료가 2명이나 트리플 더블을 기록한 것은 1989년 마이클 조던 - 스카티 피펜 콤비에 이어서 처음이다.

Washington 17. Washington Wizards (39-37, Last ranking: 12) – 처음에 캐런 버틀러가 나가떨어지고, 이젠 길버트 아레나스까지 시즌 아웃이다. 대머리독수리들이 워싱턴의 머리위를 빙빙 돌기 시작했다.

New Orleans 18. New Orleans Hornets (36-41, Last ranking: 18) - 호넷츠에게 희망이 사라지고 있다. 타이슨 챈들러가 무릎부상으로 이탈했고, 플레이오프 레이스는 점점더 힘들어질 것이다.


Indiana 19. Indiana Pacers (34-42, Last ranking: 20) – 페이서스는 비참했던 3월을 뒤로하고 점점더 좋아질거다. 대니 그레인저가 커리어하이인 32득점을 기록하면서 샬럿전 승리를 이끌었고, 페이서스는 타이브레이커를 갖고 있기에 올랜도보다 유리하다.

Philadelphia 20. Philadelphia 76ers (31-45, Last ranking: 22) – 이궈달라는 판타스틱한 시즌을 마무리지었고 이번 여름에 연장 계약 자격을 얻는다. 자 금고문을 열 시간이다.

Minnesota 21. Minnesota Timberwolves (32-44, Last ranking: 19) – 이 팀에 대해선 정말 할 말이 없다... I have nothing to say about this team.

New York 22. New York Knicks (32-44, Last ranking: 21) – 에디 커리는 오버타임으로 이끄는 동점 버저비터 3점슛을 포함해서, 커리어 하이인 43득점을 기록했다. 뉴욕을 커리의 활약에 힘입어 밀워키에게 승리를 거뒀다.

Charlotte 23. Charlotte Bobcats (31-47, Last ranking: 25) – 에메카 오카포가 무릎부상에서 복귀하자마자 밥캣츠는 상승세로 돌아섰다. 오카포의 인사이드에서 수비 존재감 덕분에 지난주 4게임에서 3승을 거뒀다.

Portland 24. Portland Trail Blazers (31-45, Last ranking: 26) – 브랜던 로이는 휴스턴전에서 24득점으로 승리를 이끌면서 ROY에 한발더 다가섰다.

Seattle 25. Seattle SuperSonics (31-46, Last ranking: 23) – 크리스 윌칵스는 커리어하이인 32득점과 18리바운드를 기록했지만, 팀은 레이커스에서 근소한 점수차로 패하였다.

Sacramento 26. Sacramento Kings (31-45, Last ranking: 24) – 킹스는 다가올 여름에 큰 변화가 있을거다. 제프 페트리는 결코 현상 유지를 원하지 않을테고, 팀을 정상화하기위한 커다란 움직임을 만들거다.

Atlanta 27. Atlanta Hawks (28-49, Last ranking: 27) – 밀워키전 승리를 가져온 조쉬 스미스의 활약이 어떠냐구? 조쉬는 28득점 18리바운드 5어시스트 3스틸 2블락을 기록했지.ㄷㄷㄷ


Milwaukee 28. Milwaukee Bucks (26-50, Last ranking: 28) – 1초를 남기고 커리에서 와이드 오픈 동점 3점슛을 허용하면서, 결국 연장승부 끝에 패했다. 이런 동점 3점을 막아야하는 상황에서 페인트 존에서 서있는 수비수를 이해할수 있을까?

Boston 29. Boston Celtics (23-53, Last ranking: 29) – 라존 론도는 시즌 막판 기회를 잡았고 좋은 활약을 펼쳐주고 있다. 론도는 전통적인 패스-퍼스트 마인드의 포인트 가드이자 뛰어난 리바운더이다.


Memphis 30. Memphis Grizzlies (19-59, Last ranking: 30) – 이번 여름 시장에서 큰 변화가 일어날 것이다. 팀은 팔릴 것이고, 제리 웨스트는 은퇴할 거고, 파우 가솔은 트레이드 될지도 모른다. 그것말고도, 비지니스란게 그런거다.
