Today on NBA Power Rankings, the Western Conference continues to dominate the East, with the league’s top seven teams coming from out West.

The NBA has been through a tumultuous week. From the Sacramento Kings firing head coach Mike Malone to guys like DeMarcus Cousins, Anthony Davis, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Andrew Bogut missing time, we’ve seen some teams fail to step up and we’ve seen others rise to the occasion.

On last week’s Power Rankings, a new team surpassed the Philadelphia 76ers for the title of worst in the league, the Los Angeles Clippers were on the rise and the Golden State Warriors usurped the Memphis Grizzlies for the top spot in the standings.

In the last week, we’ve witnessed Kobe Bryant passed Michael Jordan for third on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, we’ve seen the Phoenix Suns lose on yet another heartbreaking buzzer-beater that had no business falling and we’ve watched the Warriors extend their winning streak to 16 games.

So where does that leave everyone in this constantly changing landscape? Without further ado, here’s the latest batch of Fansided NBA Power Rankings, starting with the Sixers returning to their rightful place — dead last.
