Every single Monday until the NBA Finals are complete, I’ll be giving you a recap of the most important things from the past NBA week. I’ll give you my power rankings for the top ten teams in the league and name a couple of players with surprising performances. Finally, I will go through some of the best and worst moments from the past week.

(Edit: Starting in week eight, I stopped listing the best and worst moments of the week. I just felt that I was having to stretch it out just to make content that wasn’t all that good. Hopefully, now I’ll be able to upload about the things that were formerly in those moment-sections.)
