True Blue Jazz hosts this weeks power rankings. The Jazz slip a bit this week, as well they should. But they're still pretty high considering how poorly they've looked. Here are my rankings and comments,

Rank	Comments	Nov17th
1	"You see? You see? They're not a machine."	Lakers
2	A little shaky, but they're winning	Celtics
3	Stern already has his Dream Finals matchup 2009	Pistons
4	NBA brawls have become cat fights	Suns
5	Mo VP!	Cavaliers
6	The Jazz are without 3 of their starters. What's your excuse?	Hornets
7	How much is Williams worth? About 10 points a game. 2007 - 106 points a game. 2008 - 96 points a game. I felt like just a "present" vote here because I have no idea how to really judge this team.	Jazz
8	The Rockets fight like they play first-round series.	Rockets
9	Hotlanta has cooled a bit. Stupid global cooling.	Hawks
10	Orlando will stay high until they hit the gauntlet that is December.	Magic
11	3-1 for the week moves them up a bit.	Blazers
12	Heat win notwithstanding, they can't afford to lose Calderon for an extended period.	Raptors
13	What the hell are you doing up this high?	Knicks
14	Bandwagon update. Adding 5 electrons and losing 5 electrons = neutral.	Heat
15	Chauncey Billups project - So far, so good. Crap.	Nuggets
16	If Gordon's on, Chicago will be tough.	Bulls
17	Too much talent not to contend. They'll mesh and be tough.	76ers
18	Pushed the Celtics. One player away.	Bucks
19	Could the Parker and Manu injuries hurt them enough to miss the playoffs? As long as they have Duncan, they have a shot.	Spurs
20	Big losses and no quality wins this week.	Warriors
21	Blew huge lead to 76ers.	Pacers
22	They were at .500 just 4 games ago. Too bad they couldn't win any of those four.	Grizzlies
23	Already out of the playoffs with the way the teams ahead of them are playing.	Nets
24	Avery preached D when he was there. Now they're back to the old Mavs and their O isn't as good.	Mavs
25	Bobcats own the Jazz at home.	Bobcats
26	Started out like they were going to pull off a few upsets. Now they don't look like they'll win a few.	Timberwolves
27	The Kings at 4-6 would get them the 8th seed right now. West not looking so tough.	Kings
28	Bill Simmons wasting money on Clippers season tickets brings me joy.	Clippers
29	Wizzed all over Utah for their first W(izz).	Wizards
30	Maybe Seattle should be happy this team relocated.	Thunder
