NBA Week Nine Recap

Every single Monday (Wednesday this week) 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 the things that were formerly in those moment-sections.)
