UPDATED NBA POWER RANKINGS COMING MAY 21, 2013

NBA Power Rankings updated June 23
Records are 2011-12 regular season wins-losses

1) Miami (46-20) - The champs. And top contenders to do it again, and again.

2) Oklahoma City (47-19) - Great run. Need to keep core together for future.

3) San Antonio (50-16) - They play brilliant, smart basketball, and overachieve as a result.

4) Chicago (50-16) - Major injuries messed this guys up badly in the playoffs.

5) Indiana (42-24) - Indiana can be proud of their good, fun Pacers.

6) LA Clippers (40-26) - The Clip Show is on the rise.

7) LA Lakers (41-25) - May make major summer changes. Pau Gasol might be shopped.

8) Boston (39-27) - Time for transition. The Celtics core may totally change this summer.

9) Memphis (41-25) - Rugged, competitive team. But is Rudy Gay needed here?

10) Atlanta (40-26) - Same core roster year after year, same general results.

11) Denver (38-28) - Deep, balanced roster still needs Danilo Gallinari to step up.

12) Dallas (36-30) - Old team needs young, fresh parts.

13) Orlando (37-29) - Good chance the Magic trade Dwight Howard this summer.

14) New York (36-30) - The Knicks core is good enough to make the playoffs. But that may be it.

15) Utah (36-30) - Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap are a nice duo. But Jazz need upgrades.

16) Philadelphia (35-31) - Nice balanced roster, but upside seems limited.

17) Houston (34-32) - Both Kyle Lowry and Kevin Martin shot 41% for the season.

18) Milwaukee (31-35) - The Bucks have a mismatched but talented backcourt, and need help up front

19) Portland (28-38) - On paper, the Blazers were decent. It didn't translate to the court.

20) Minnesota (26-40) - Kevin Love rocks, but the injury to Ricky Rubio messed Minnesota up.

21) Phoenix (33-33) - Sadly, the Steve Nash era may end this summer.

22) Washington (20-46) - Ended the season hot. The Wizards may be worth watching in 2012-13.

23) Golden State (23-43) - Should be watchable with a healthy Andrew Bout

24) Detroit (25-41) - It was hard to remember that the Pistons were in the league last season.

25) Toronto (23-43) - Need a star. Any star. A building block. Some spark.

26) Sacramento (22-44) - Some talent here, but mostly flawed players that don't mesh.

27) New Orleans (21-45) - Traded Emeka Okafor and Trevor Ariza. Soon to draft Anthony Davis.

28) New Jersey (22-44) - Absolutely must keep Deron Williams. Rest of roster isn't impressive.

29) Cleveland (21-45) - Kyrie Irving is a nice building block.

30) Charlotte (7-59) - Worst NBA roster we've ever seen played the worst basketball of all time.
