NBA Power Rankings

The power rankings for this season are Boston becuase there record for the season was 66-16 which is very good, one reason is that they allowed the least amount of points scored on them. Also they have the 10th best offense in the league. They are in good shape to defend their title but there is question if there best 3 players are going to be healty this season.
The second best ranked team in the NBA are the Lakers. Their record was 57-25, they have the number 3 ranked offense in the league and the 5th ranked defense. They said that they need to work on defense if they want to win it all. And when Andrew Bynum returns they will be fine. I think that this is the year the Lakers come back and win the Championship.
The New Orleans Hornets were ranked 3rd overall in the NBA. Mostly because their offense was ranked 5th and there defense was ranked 8th in the NBA. But over the Offseason they picked up James Posey which I think will make them better in defense, but their bench is still not as good as it should be.

High Stats Players:
This week in the NFL, in passing yards Matt Schaub of the Houston Texans threw for 379 yards against the Miami Dolphins. That might be the reason that they won the game in the final seconds. The leading rusher for week 6 was Clinton Portis of the Washington Redskins ran for 129 yards against the the St. Louis Rams. And they still managed to lose to one of the worst teams in the NFL.The leading Reciever was Andre Johnson of the Houston Texans, he caught for 178 yards against the Miami Dolphins. The leader of Kicking was David Akers of the Philidalphia Eagles he kicked for 16 points. Maybe that is the reason that they won.
