Final 2007-08: Celtics Add Another Title

After facing unexpected challenges from Atlanta and Cleveland early in the playoffs, the Celtics showed why they were the No. 1 ranked team heading into the postseason as they put away both the Pistons and the Lakers in six games to claim their 17th NBA title.  Boston left little to chance in the deciding game as it dominated the Lakers (131-92) on both ends of the floor.  Paul Pierce, a holdover from last year's 24-win team, won the series MVP, while new additions Kevin Garnett (26 points, 14 rebounds) and Ray Allen (26 points) came up big in the final.  Here are the complete Dunkel NBA ratings* for the 2007-08 season.

Week 18: Setting Suns?

The acquisition of Shaquille O'Neal was supposed to toughen up the Suns on defense.  Instead Phoenix has given up at least 113 points in five of the six games that O'Neal has played, a big factor in the Suns' less-than-stellar 2-4 record over that span.  The slump has dropped Phoenix to No. 6 in this week's Index.   Here are the complete Dunkel NBA ratings* for the week.

Week 4: Orlando Finding Some Magic

Orlando has played second fiddle to Shaq, Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat when it comes to the battles in Florida.  But that doesn't seem to be the case this year as the Magic are off to a strong 12-3 start while the Heat have languished at 2-8.  That disparity was on full display Satuday night as Orlando torched Miami (120-99) behind Hedo Turkoglu's 27 points.  The win helped push Orlando up to No. 4 in this week's Index, while Miami fell to No. 27.   Here are the complete Dunkel NBA ratings* for the week.

Week 1: Pistons Open Season At No. 1

No Rip Hamilton, no problem for Detroit. The Pistons set out to reclaim the Eastern Conference championship with a pair of road wins (at Miami and Orlando) without their most consistent scorer, who was attending the birth of his son.  With Hamilton back in the lineup on Sunday for the home-opener, Detroit made it three straight to start the season with a 92-91 win over Atlanta.  The performance was good enough to put the Pistons in the No. 1 spot for the initial 2007-08 Index.  Here are the complete Dunkel NBA ratings* for the week.
