		<description><![CDATA[1. ATLANTA HAWKS (7), 8-2 &#8211; After defeating the Celtics on the road, the Hawks take over the top spot this week.  They have a difficult slate of games this week, however, as they face the Blazers, Heat, and Rockets.  Fortunately for them, they&#8217;re all home games.
2. DENVER NUGGETS (8), 7-3 &#8211; Bad loss to [...]]]></description>

PHOENIX SUNS (9), 6-1 &#8211; Despite getting smoked by the Magic in Orlando, the Suns made up for it by beating the Celtics on the road.  Steve Nash is playing like an MVP and is shooting better from 3-point land than 2-point distance.  Are the Suns for real?  This week will be a good [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Including King James.  They proved all their doubters (including me) wrong by EASILY dispensing the Cleveland Cavaliers.  They outplayed the Cavs in every way imaginable and you could make a case they could&#8217;ve won six straight.  Even with the refs seemingly on the side of the MVP and his mates, the Magic came back from [...]]]></description>
