NBA Power Rankings Week 7: The revenge of the Los Angeles Lakers

Last Week: Beat Portland Trail Blazers 134-106, Beat Indiana Pacers 130-110, Beat Cleveland Cavaliers 123-105, Beat Cleveland Cavaliers 124-99

This Week: 2/8 at Denver Nuggets, 2/10 at Phoenix Suns, 2/12 at Utah Jazz

This was the week the Milwaukee Bucks started to look like the team that has dominated the regular season last season. They won their four games this week by an average margin of 22.8 points. Against the Portland Trail Blazers, the Bucks won by 28 and no one on the team had to play more than 30 minutes, the Mike Budenholzer special.

Against the Indiana Pacers, Giannis Antetokounmpo was on his MVP game, dropping 21 points on just eight shots. He was the leading scorer of the team and one of seven Bucks in double figures. In the first game against the Cavs, he went off for 33 points and 12 rebounds, leading six players in double figures.

The Bucks are just so well rounded and are finally finding their true form together. Their record has never suffered but they were not off to the same dominant pace of years passed as they integrated so many new players into one of the best two-way teams in the league. The fact that they are starting to revert to those ways while trying new things from game to game should have the other title contenders shook. The Bucks are not going anywhere and they are actually better than a year ago.
