<p>The latest SBNation NBA Power Rankings are out, and the Cavaliers remain out of the bottom spot, for now. Listed as 14th in the Eastern Conference, only the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bulletsforever.com/">Washington Wizards</a> are below the Cavs, but as the Wiz gets healthy and the Cavs continue to sink that could easily change, and in a hurry. Think about it, the Cavaliers have lost HOME GAMES to the likes of Minnesota and Sacramento. </p>

<p><b>14. <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.fearthesword.com/">Cleveland Cavaliers</a>: Record - 8-22</b></p>
<p><i>Last Week's Ranking, 14: SB Nation Blog: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.fearthesword.com/">Fear The Sword</a></i><br><br>As few as 2 weeks ago the Cavs were ranked 8th in the SBNation Power Rankings, and slotted for an outside shot at the playoffs. In those 2 weeks the Cavs have gone 1-6, JJ Hickson has been demoted to the bench, and had the nerve to complain about it, and <span>Mo Williams</span> has declared that he needs to step up and be the leader they need. In years past this is the point where I would either make a reference to the Cleveland Tourism video, or a joke about rivers catching on fire. That seems a bit mean though, so I will only say: Play <span>Leon Powe</span>!</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I do agree with the last part - <span>Byron Scott</span> needs to get his physical players on the floor and that includes Leon Powe.</p>
<p>For the record, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.celticsblog.com/">Celtics</a> are tops in the Eastern Conference while the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.poundingtherock.com/">San Antonio Spurs</a> are on top out West.</p>
