    :team92: 1. Miami Heat (19-5) Previous Rank: N/A

    The Miami Heat and the 3 amigos ( @Flems506 - @xRICKOSHAY - @TC x Avi ) continue to be a mainstay at #1. Another great week in the books (5-1) will do that. This team is now 2 games in front of the Hawks and appear to not be looking back. 1 seed, here they come.

    :team91: 2. Memphis Grizzlies (16-8) Previous Rank: 3

    @D Andoo99 and the Grizz are officially red hot. They've been steam-rolling and went 6-0 this week. The 2nd line has been clicking and the 1st line is on a rampage. They've stepped up in all facets of their games and look to now be the 2nd best team in the league. They've been beyond impressive the past few weeks. They belong in this spot.

    :team96: 3. New Orleans Pelicans (17-7) Previous Rank: 4

    The Pelicans continue to ravage the league. After being 6-0, this team is the 3rd team to have a perfect week. @xVenom OF and the OF boys are in sole possession of 1st place in the West. The 1st and 2nd lines are in playoff form and are showing why they were so high on the pre-season boards. Like I said before, Its all about how you finish, and these boys are showing how to get it done.

    :team79: 4. Atlanta Hawks (17-7) Previous Rank: 2

    The Hawks have stumbled. After a questionable trade, the 2nd line for the Hawks struggled extremely this week. After losses to the Wiz, Pelicans, and Grizzlies, this is where they belong as of now. 3-3 isnt what this team had normally been capable of. This team is 4 games in front of the next best East team. Lets see if the team can lock back in and hold onto the 2 seed in the East with two remaining weeks left of the season.

    :team90: 5. Los Angeles Lakers (16-8) Previous Rank: N/A

    The LA Lakers have rebounded from last week and had a perfect 6-0 week. Is this some type of trend? Now back on track and locked in, lets see if they can somehow avoid being the 3 seed and secure a 1st round bye. That might be a tough task with both teams above them also in playoff form. Lets see what these boys can do.

    :team107: 6. Washington Wizards (13-11) Previous Rank: 12

    @Murda Dreams and his Wizards have emerged from the smoke and appear to be starting to click at the right time. With their only loss this week coming in a close game to the Heat, they're starting to look as the clear cut 3rd seed in the East. The trade for @Schizostone has been a great addition to the team and has given the team the piece they were missing. Only 4 games out of the 2 seed, lets see if they can sneak in and steal a 1st round bye.

    :team97: 7. New York Knicks (12-12) Previous Rank: N/A

    Stated previously, "Expectations would have the Knicks above .500 for the rest of the season. Lets see if they can hold up their end of the bargain." @FREE MEL0 and the New York Knicks did not do that. These boys stumbled to a 2-4 week and do not look as strong as others may have thought. Still having depth and continuity, lets see if these guys can focus up and potentially be the 3 seed in the East. It'll be a close race until the end of the regular season.

    :team94: 8. Minnesota T-Wolves (10-14) Previous Rank: 10

    @SavagePatchh , how long does potential MVP candidate @BWitt x 14 have to hold this team up in the standings? The Woofies put together another 3-3 week, but the 2nd line is leaving a TON to be desired. They had tough losses to Bulls, Suns, and Heat. Woofie Pack will lock down a playoff seed, but they 2nd line will continue to be a detriment. They have one last week to make some final changes. Shake-up incoming? Lets find out.

    :team99: 9. Philadelphia 76ers (11-13) Previous Rank: N/A

    This Sixer team is still in free-fall. After a 2-4 week, the other East teams are starting to catch up and look to possibly overtake them. @Easy Macaroni will need to be a quick study and learn the PG position in a hurry so that this team can be competitive in these last two weeks. Can they fight off the stampede and wiggle into the playoffs? We'll be watching!

    :team105: 10. Toronto Raptors (11-13) Previous Rank: 14

    @YSL BULLY and his Raptors are still OFFICIALLY in the playoff race. The guys on this team @BennyBvckets - @Icey Sneaker - @YungTickle - @mferra32 have continued to produce and are making noise. They have solid pieces all around them and are ready to break some hearts and deliver some upsets. This is what we play for.

    :team100: 11. Phoenix Suns (10-14) Previous Rank: 13

    @im just a squid and the boys slipped a bit again. This team finished the week 2-4. They have been a model of inconsistency. Some weeks they've been good, others bad. They will need to put together a solid week 5 and 6 to have a shot at the playoffs in the West. Its getting hot in here!

    :team88: 12. Indiana Pacers (10-14) Previous Rank: 6

    Remember when it was said: "@STG BEAST and his guys deserve some respect. Although enduring a 2-4, they didnt run from matchups against the Hawks and Heat. Both games were within 13 points, and they look like they'll be an above .500 team going forward." That cannot be said anymore. This team took a huge dive off the deep end after going 0-6. They are in danger of missing the playoffs and squandering their chance at some relevancy. Lets see if they can turn it around.

    :team81: 13. Chicago Bulls (9-15) Previous Rank: 16

    No one would've believed that @Ayztraks and his Chicago Bulls would be this high up in the rankings. Yet, here they are. The trade for @ItsDashDummy is starting to produce wins and the team has become much more competitive. It was said: "The league can see this team really putting together a run in the second half of the season and securing a playoff spot." Well, a 2-4 week isnt a run, but its the start of getting some dubs. 2 more weeks to secure a playoff spot. Can they do it?

    :team373: 14. Oklahoma City Thunder (9-15) Previous Rank: 8

    @HBB Rise and his OKC Thunder have lost all their steam. The team is losing focus and took a nose dive in the standings. It may be too late to round the troops for one last push before playoffs. While not inconceivable, it'll be a tall task. Get it together fellas!

    :team101: 15. Portland Trail Blazers (8-16) Previous Rank: 11

    Its almost a broken record. "@axemurderer29 and his Blazers cant continue having 2-4 weeks." But it continues to happen. The West continues to be too tight for error but the team continues to stumble. As it stands right now, this team would miss the loffs. @KhoreyHouks and @Rainy iPM are both still playing well. Will their efforts be wasted? Two more weeks boys! Do y'all have what it takes?

    :team106: 16. Utah Jazz (4-20) Previous Rank: N/A

    @johnny nobakes and the Jazz got a win! They were able to upset the Knicks and get the first team win in weeks. I will give them credit though, they continue to show up. Their will to fight cannot be taken away, and that should be complemented by all around the league.
