NBA Power Rankings January 29th

The gulf at the top this week is getting bigger between the top 3 and the rest of the league.  The number 4 Celtics trail the Raptors by about 3 points, the same distance the number 10 Blazers trail the Celtics by. They need to get themselves righted following a pretty unimpressive 2-5 record over the last 7 games.  The Thunder have moved themselves up to number 5 after a good strong week, beating the 76ers by double digits and avoiding losses.  However, going forward they're going to have to replace their defensive stalwart Andre Roberson following his horrendous Patellar Tendon injury.  It also wouldn't be a power rankings without talking about how much trouble the Cavs are in.  heir defense is atrocious right now, and the locker room is in full toxic mode.
