LeBron James with two hands raised
What are you talking about? The Cavaliers and LeBron James are in 1st place, 5 and one half games up on the streaking Pistons.
Oh, not that. The Cavaliers are 2nd in the ESPN Power Rankings by Marc Stein. How does LeBron do it? Other than Mo Williams, there is no one on LeBron’s team of any merit.
This is a big deal, because they had to push out the Boston Celtics to do it and that just does not happen, but the Celtics are slumping or something.
Rajon Rondo says the Celtics are absolutely, positively “not in a slump.” And he’s right. After a 27-2 start, I’d say losing four out of six for the first time ever in the KG-Pierce-Allen era ranks as more than a slump.

Speaking of my Pistons, they are on a roll with AI and Rodney Stuckey in the starting lineup.
Detroit’s return to the top 10 is the other rankings headline this week, after the Pistons — now 13-3 since moving Rodney Stuckey into the starting lineup — uncharacteristically spent five straight weeks in the teens, ranging from No. 13 to No. 17.
