    Re: ESPN's Power Rankings

    Do you guys not realize how close the NBA is right now? It's getting close to being as bad as MLB where everyone is .500. The leagues worst teams are rapidly improving. The Bobcats, Hawks, Warriors and Blazers have all made strides with players and some with coaching. No team is 'terrible' this season. Pissing a fit because your team is behind this team...or this team...come on now....75% of the NBA will be within 10 games this season.

Maybe a few spots lower. Lakers are high. Sixers are only a few spots low. Kings are way low you're right.

    Wizards are too low and the Warriors are too high IMO. The Warriors havent proved yet that they can stay healthy through an entire season. Without Baron out as ussual, I find it hard to believe that they will be anywhere close to that good this season. What did the Wizards do in order to get their ranking so low? Thats all I want to know. I see them being the 6th seed in the East once again this season. The rest of it looks pretty decent to me besides Philly being that low.

    How are the Wizards too low? They have not addressed their issues in the post and are the same .500 team as last year.

    Re: ESPN's Power Rankings

    They are the same 500 team as last year and they finished 6th in the east. Having them at 18 is stupid. If they didnt get worse, why would they go down? Also, Gilbert Arenas is going to be even better. This is a team that nearly beat the Caviliers last season in the playoffs. The same Cavaliers team that is ranked 6th overall. How do you not think they are too low? They are better than the Pacers. They cant stay healthy and they also lost Fred Jones and Peja. They got worse. They are just as good as the Bucks if not better. They are obviously better than the Warriors. Baron Davis cant stay healthy threw an entire season. How do you expect them to make the playoffs? And the Jazz have the same problem. Two of their best 3 players are always injured. Im sorry, but I will go with a Wizards team that doesn't have injury problems and whos big three is among the best in the NBA.

    lmao at the sixers getting 29th. that's pretty ridiculous. no way are the bocats, hawks, sonics better than them. they still have a top 10 player and a rising star.

    Bobcats and Hawks have a chance to be better. Sonics too, if they have good post play. Washington is good.

We have a coach who knows how to utilize his bench and his role players. Monta Ellis and Dujuan Wagner will take Baron's minutes when he is injured. No biggie.

    The Nets should be over the Hornets, WARRIORS WAY TOO HIGH, Jazz too high, Wizards are too low, TWolves too low, and Raptors and Celtics deserve top 20 imo.
