NBA Power Rankings: Cleveland Cavaliers ruin Christmas

22-8. Previous: . Toronto Raptors. 4. team. 81. I don’t know if it was American foolery or bias, but I have to admit that I have had the Toronto Raptors ranked pretty low in the last few iterations of my power rankings. Maybe it was the Cleveland Cavaliers Christmas victory over the Golden State Warriors, or Chris Paul and Blake Griffin dropping like flies for the Los Angeles Clippers, but I have finally opened my eyes to the wonderfulness that is the Kyle Lowry-DeMar DeRozan bromance. I want them to make a Bad Boys style movie about them. I want them to remake Step Brothers. I want the to be the only people allowed to use Instagram’s new live story feature. Just give me more Lowry and DeRozan until I can’t take it anymore, which of course will be never. DeRozan has kept up his nothing short of incredible mid-range shooting and Lowry is finding his shot at just the right time. While their team might be a move or two away from really challenging any of the three teams ranked ahead of them, they will definitely finish the year with one of the five best records in the entire league. As long as Lowry and DeRozan are around, “We The North”, Jurassic Park, and Drake courtside antics will be part of the NBA fan vocabulary for the remainder of the season.
