NBA Power Rankings January 18th

Another week, another small set of changes in the league.  The Cavs drop a little due to playing on the road, and getting blown out by the Warriors there at the end of it.  They clearly were being affected by the end of the trip, with their last three games seeing a 4% drop in eFG% on offense, and opponents shooting 2% better.  A team that we will need to watch to see a potential slide though in the top 10 is the Clippers.  Losing Chris Paul for 8 weeks is a real bitter pill to swallow.  Without Paul in the lineup, the Clippers will be seeing a lot more Austin Rivers, who has a True Shooting Percentage about 10 points lower than Paul's.  Raymond Felton and Jamal Crawford will also see an uptick in playing time, with the possibility of Felton being the man since he's been a very efficient guard during his career.
