EARLY POWER RANKINGS IN NBA

I know it is too early to judge, I know it's just a few games but after seeing some of the games... you can tell clearly who is going to make it to the playoffs and who's not. With the brutal injury of Gordon Hayward, the Boston Celtics can be easily ruled out of the championship run. No one is happy about it but that event will make the Cavaliers find it's easy way to the finals again.

1. Cleveland Cavaliers. With the addition of Dwyane Wade, Derrick Rose, Jeff Green and Isiah Thomas the Cavs are clearly the favorite to win the championship. Wade maybe old but let's not forget how an animal he is when winning time is around.  Derrick Rose is back on his MVP form again plus when Isiah Thomas is back... the Cavs is a big problem to any team they face in the playoffs.

2. San Antonio Spurs. Great addition is Rudy Gay, he can still play and add some deep energy in scoring. Lamarcus Aldridge is happy and Kawhi will be back in a few weeks. The Spurs have a great coach and system that will make them very competitive this season.

3. Golden State Warriors. They are clearly not hungry like before. They were already satisfied but don't count them out yet. When it is already playoffs atmosphere, the Golden state Warriors will show who they really are.

4. Los Angeles Clippers. Blake Griffin and Deandre Jordan has the best front court tandem in the NBA, they were still in their prime and can still give inhuman highlights every single night. Blake is in good shape so as Jordan. They have great additions like Teodosic and Gallinari. It seems like the exit of Chris Paul will not be felt this year.

5. Oklahoma City Thunder. Their newly formed big three is making a lot of noise but the question is chemistry. Those three are all ball hogs, they cannot express their game if they don't have enough touches. But we will see, hoodie Melo is a good leader, George has low ego and Westbrook already won an MVP so we expect him not to do so much anymore.

THE RUNNER UPS ARE:

6. Houston Rockets
7. Washington Wizards
8. Milwaukee Bucks
9. Toronto Raptors
10. Portland Trail Blazers
