NBA Power Rankings: Are The Cleveland Cavaliers In Trouble?

5 of 31

Yes. Red. Hot. That isn’t a misprint. The Brooklyn Nets, this past week, knocked off the Cleveland Cavaliers and Indiana Pacers in back-to-back games. That’s something that not many teams would have the ability to do over the course of a season. Good for the Nets.

Even though Brooklyn doesn’t get any incentive for winning games at this point in the season, every win hurts the Celtics’ chances of getting a top pick in this year’s NBA Draft.
