140-Character NBA Power Rankings

The NBA playoffs are just four weeks away, and things, including the playoff picture, are certainly heating up in the NBA.

While there's no better way to assess the balance of power in the NBA than with a power ranking of all 30 NBA teams, it's time to switch things up just a little bit.

Instead of sticking to the normal power rankings, with analysis of every NBA team, you'll find a ranking of every team, with a 140-character tweet that reflects the current state of their franchise.

If every NBA team was honest enough to tweet how they really felt about their season, here's exactly how those tweets would look. 

30.  @Bobcats - RT @AnthonyDavis If the Bobcats get the No. 1 pick, I'm leaving the country. #Should'veStayedInSchool #EyeBrowsing
