Welcome to my first edition of NBA Power Rankings! For the rest of the 2012 season, this will be the place to see how your favorite team stacks up against the rest of the NBA.

So far it's been clear that LeBron James and the Miami Heat are the team to beat this season — they've earned the top spot by getting off to an 8-2 start. The Oklahoma City Thunder and the Chicago Bulls have been dominant as well, and young teams such as the Philadelphia 76ers, Indiana Pacers, and Utah Jazz have been much better than expected. On the flip side, veteran squads such as the Dallas Mavericks and Boston Celtics have struggled, but they have the star power to bounce back strong. With a whirlwind 66-game schedule, it will be an exciting couple of months for hoopheads.

I'll update these rankings every Wednesday during the regular season, so check back every week to see whether your team is moving up or down. If you think your team is too low or you have a question about your favorite players, post them in the comments below. I'll address the best ones every day! Now, on to the rankings.
