ko mi dira rocketse?

najljepsi i najjednostavniji- prav' ih je ljepota gledat!

a neeeee, spursi su jos uvijek #1, ali kakav bi bio lokal patriota da ne drukam za lokalnu ekipu?

odeslio se prije godinu i pol!

	1. Kobe Bryant, Lakers	G	MIN	FG%	3P%	FT%	STL	BLK	REB	AST	PTS	PER
		5	33.2	.473	.333	.786	1.8	0.8	5.6	3.4	24.4	25.0
	My buddy Marc Stein handles the ESPN.com Power Rankings, but the undefeated Lakers look like the top team to me. Kobe's stats don't jump off the screen like they used to, but that doesn't change his importance.

	2. Chris Paul, Hornets	G	MIN	FG%	3P%	FT%	STL	BLK	REB	AST	PTS	PER
		6	37.8	.519	.417	.830	3.3	0.2	5.2	11.7	21.3	32.4
	Call it the NBA Awards Watch curse: The team with the player in the top spot loses two games that week. CP3's league record streak of 20 points and 10 assists to open the season is at six games and counting.

	3. Joe Johnson, Hawks	G	MIN	FG%	3P%	FT%	STL	BLK	REB	AST	PTS	PER
		5	37.4	.505	.440	.789	1.4	0.2	5.2	3.8	25.2	24.2
	Even with Josh Smith (sprained left ankle) out, the Hawks stayed perfect with a win against the Thunder. JJ was brilliant in Atlanta's impressive win in New Orleans, notching 24 points, seven rebounds and four assists.

	4. LeBron James, Cavaliers	G	MIN	FG%	3P%	FT%	STL	BLK	REB	AST	PTS	PER
		7	36	.456	.192	.773	1.7	1.0	8.9	7.0	28.1	32.4
	He became the youngest (23 years, 308 days) and fastest (395 games) player to top the 10,000 points, 2,500 rebounds, 2,500 assists, 700 steals and 300 blocks marks, and the Cavaliers have won four straight.

	5. Amar'e Stoudemire, Suns	G	MIN	FG%	3P%	FT%	STL	BLK	REB	AST	PTS	PER
		8	38.4	.620	.000	.880	1.1	1.1	8.4	2.5	24.6	28.5
	The 49 points, 11 rebounds, six assists, five steals and two blocks by the West player of the week against the Pacers was as good a performance as I've ever seen -- and apparently stats guru John Hollinger agrees.

1. Dwight Howard, Magic: The strongest, most athletic center makes playing defense a lot easier for his Orlando teammates.

2. Kevin Garnett, Celtics: The Celtics, who haven't given up 100 points in a game this season, play the Hawks on Wednesday in an early-season must-see game.

3. Ron Artest, Rockets: There isn't a better one-on-one defender in the league, although it does help when you get away with grabbing and wrestling with the person you are covering.

4. Dwyane Wade, Heat: Fans are probably well aware of his 2.7 steals per game, but did you know he also averages 1.7 rejections? As hard as it is to believe, he is actually playing better than he did during the Olympics.

5. Marcus Camby, Clippers: His numbers in Los Angeles aren't what they were in Denver, but he is still a rebounding and shot-blocking machine.

2. Mike D'Antoni, Knicks: The best point guard on the team wears a suit instead of a uniform during games, but somehow D'Antoni has New York two games over .500 after the Knicks knocked the Jazz from the ranks of the unbeaten on Sunday.

3. Terry Porter, Suns: Phoenix has won six of its first eight and he looked like a genius for resting Shaquille O'Neal during back-to-backs.

4. Erik Spoelstra, Heat: Miami needs to win 11 of its next 75 games to equal last year's win total.

5. Jerry Sloan, Jazz: He won his 1,000th game with the Jazz, who are 5-1 without the second-best point guard in the league.

Most Improved Watch: Salmons

1. John Salmons, Kings: Now a full-time starter, he's averaging career highs in points (17.3) and assists (3.6) while shooting 50 percent.

2. Thaddeus Young, Sixers: You saw this coming. He's doubled his points per game (16.5), and the most impressive part of his package is his shooting percentages: 52 percent on FGs, 48 percent on 3-pointers and 89 percent on FTs.

3. Roger Mason, Spurs: Manu Ginobili has been injured all season and Tony Parker just joined him on the sidelines. Mason, who figures to improve on his 16.2 PPG average while they are out, has been a bright spot for San Antonio.

4. Nene, Nuggets: He is putting up career numbers across the board. Amazing what happens when you stay healthy and get a big boost in playing time.

5. Nick Young, Wizards: The Wiz are the only winless team in the league, but don't blame Young, who has emerged as a Sixth Man of the Year candidate. He is averaging 16.6 points per game and has scored in double digits in all five Washington games.

2. O.J. Mayo, Grizzlies: He was born to score, but it wasn't supposed to come this easy in the pros. He followed up his 31-point, 8-rebound, 3-assist performance Sunday with a 33-point, 3-rebound, 5-assist show Monday.

3. Michael Beasley, Heat: It didn't take long for him to replace Shawn Marion as the Heat's second-best player, did it?

4. Rudy Fernandez, Blazers: Portland is one of the hottest teams in the league (winners of three straight) and its spark plug off the bench is a key reason.

5. Marc Gasol, Grizzlies: He's pulling down 8.3 per game to go along with his double-digit scoring average. Jason Thompson is in the running, too, but as the Kings began their three-game winning streak, his numbers started to decline.
