After an exciting three weeks of NBA basketball, the Northwest Division has looked very good so far, but who is on top of the five teams?

After another exciting week in the NBA world, I have almost changed my power rankings completely. There have been blow-outs, close games, even games that went down to a shot at the buzzer within the division this past week.

The NBA is getting more deep each year, but this season, the Northwest is easily the deepest division in basketball. With all the teams competing for a playoff spot, here is how we will rank them after the second week into the NBA season.
