Risers
The Chicago Bulls won three in a row this week. To what end? I can't tell you.
The Orlando Magic move up this week for not losing as badly as the teams around them.
Fallers
Man, the Memphis Grizzlies are a bad basketball team. They are 3-26 since the end of January, and while they may not catch the Phoenix Suns on Tankathon's leaderboard, they are sure making a valiant effort at it.
The Brooklyn Nets are doing their best to improve the first-round pick they owe to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Good for them.
