Phoenix Suns. 4. team. 66. <p>The Suns held serve in the one game they were supposed to win this week. Phoenix beat the Lakers (for the second straight time), and not even losses to the lowly Kings and the depleted Grizzlies could sink the Suns in these rankings.</p> <p>Make no mistake, Phoenix is a disaster in virtually every sense of the word. However, the Suns do have the excuse of injuries to lean on and, well, they aren’t the Sixers or the Lakers. There is always that.</p>. (21-51). Previous:

(26-45). Previous: . New Orleans Pelicans. 3. team. 69. <p>Have you <em>seen</em> this roster without Anthony Davis on it?</p> <p>New Orleans will be without its best player for the remainder of the season and, well, things are already ugly for the Pelicans. The team has lost seven of its last nine games at the time of this post, and while injuries can be blamed for the sheer ineptitude this season, New Orleans isn’t really putting out a competitive product at this point.</p> <p>Oh, I guess I should mention that this team (somehow) knocked off the Clippers on Sunday? Not a good look, Doc Rivers.</p>

Next: No. 2 and 1
