NBA Power Rankings: OKC Thunder and peers jockey for position

Oh, the ebbs and flows of the Boston Celtics. Just when the Celtics appear to have things well in hand they serve up an 0-fer week. Granted the four opponents were either seed (Nuggets, 76ers, Spurs) or chasing a playoff seed (Hornets) but losing all four matches is unacceptable. That equates to being blown out in a series via a sweep.

So as long as the Celtics who seem to do one week on, one week off of ups and downs enter the postseason having lost a few games in a row they should be fine.
