Welcome to HoopsHabit.com’s Week 20 NBA Power Rankings! We’ll be counting down from 30 to 1, as we break down the last week in the NBA and where each team stands as we move forward.

In this week’s Power Rankings, we have plenty to talk about. From the rise of Giannis Antetokounmpo to ongoing drama with the Cleveland Cavaliers to the talented 2015 NBA Draft class, there are a ton of juicy storylines for basketball fans to sink their teeth into…and that’s before even mentioning the Miami Heat putting it all together, overtime games or a couple of massive upsets.

But speaking of massive upsets, the main storyline of this week’s NBA action was the Golden State Warriors’ unprecedented loss to the lowly Los Angeles Lakers, which put the rest of the world on notice as to how mortal these former world-beaters have become.

Stephen Curry is still playing like a god among men, but the question needs to be asked: Are the Dubs starting to look human? Was it just one bad performance, or is it fair to say that Curry’s brilliance has blinded most of the world to the rest of the roster’s struggles? As the playoffs approach, these are the big questions that need to be explored.
