NBA rankings: Heat, Thunder off to fast starts

Records through Friday

1. Heat (4-0): You can't win them all? Heat will try.

2. Thunder (4-0): Dr. Phil may have to arrange sit-down with Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant.

3. Bulls (3-1): Derrick Rose and Richard Hamilton best Bulls duo since Pippen and that Jordan guy.

4. Lakers (2-2): Fans want real thing in Dwight Howard, get Kurt Rambis clone.

5. Pacers (3-0): Adding David West leads to a big move north in standings.

6. Trail Blazers (3-0): Rip City meets Lob City on Sunday against Clippers.

7. Magic (3-1): Howard suddenly a happy camper, but for how long?

8. Nuggets (2-1): Half of team marooned in China; better half off to solid start.

9. Spurs (2-1): Gregg Popovich once lost to Caltech, so Rockets defeat no biggie.

10. Hornets (2-1): Clippers Lite look great, plenty thrilling so far.

11. Clippers (1-2): It was same-old, same-old for new-look roster after first victory.

12. Warriors (2-1): Surprise, surprise: Warriors win twice by double digits.

13. Hawks (3-0): Not fooling anybody with triumphs over Nets, Wizards.

14. Mavericks (1-3): These guys are old and slow ? and those are the nicer adjectives.

15. Grizzlies (1-2): Victories at FedEx Forum usually delivered by 10:30 p.m.

16. Knicks (1-2): Tyson Chandler might not solve many defensive deficiencies, if any.

17. Celtics (1-3): With Celtics losing cachet, Kevin Garnett invests in Italian soccer club.

18. 76ers (1-2): Player's tale of buying armed man McDonald's sounds like a whopper.
