NBA Power Rankings Dec 20th

A collective sigh of relief this week from NBA fans as a new CBA has been set out to ensure play will continue and we won't end up with lockouts and missed games any time soon.  A lot of rules changed that will help parity in the league, and will likely mean the end of the "Super Teams" (Thank God!).

This week in the power rankings the top continues to remain unchurned, as the top 7 teams remain the same and only two teams moved out of the top 10.  The Grizzlies are the team that fell the furthest in the Top 10, dropping 5 spots to number 14 overall.  They went 1-3 over the week, with the last two losses stemming from some major shooting issues.  Against the Jazz they posted an embarrassingly low 31.2% eFG%, as Marc Gasol went 4-22 from the field.  Taking their spot, the Milwaukee Bucks have played some pretty stifling defense this season.  They've posted the third best Opponent eFG%, and held the Bulls to just 65 points last Friday.
