http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/powerranking1 (1) Mavericks 31-8 As if a 31-4 record since that 0-4 start isn't gaudy enough, check this out: Dirk is shooting .525 and averaging 30.8 ppg since switching back to the leather ball.2 (2) Suns 28-8 What's wilder? Suns going 27-3 since that 1-5 start? Or Suns establishing a 64-18 pace and still trailing Mavs by 1 ? games for the league's best record?3 (5) Rockets 25-13 OK, OK. If you're going to exclude the game in which Yao played just six minutes and got hurt, Rockets have only two Ls (in 11 games) without him, not three. :winkglasses:
how the hell are we lower than the Grizzlies?we've played way better than them with an 8 man rosterfor God's sake they lost to Chicago by 50all week we've been playing tough against teams we weren't supposed to beatoh yeah we've beat the Grizzlies Pierceless by 9 ESPN's trash
These rankings are before gils 51 point game/buzzer beater. I assure you that would bring the Wizards up, we were in a slump over the weekend.Gil wasnt shooting well because of his shoulder btw...
Agreed, I noticed that, too. ^I'm glad the Wizards are still in the top 10, though. We should start another streak soon to pull away from Orlando in our divison. We got New York coming up next, so it shouldnt be too much of a problem.

Lakers are really holding their ground, I actually expected them to be at maybe 15-20 losses by now. I can't complain.

I don't think it's that hard to understand. With the way we are RIGHT NOW, yes, we are probably the worst team in the league. We are starting Telfair, Green, Gomes, Jefferson, and Perkins. Telfair is our backup, Gerald is just now getting consistent minutes, Gomes is playing out of position, Perk is still playing hurt, and the only one in that starting lineup that went to college is Gomes... and he is still only a 2nd year player.

We had a problem against them in the first meeting and if the Wizards aren't going to outhustle New York and if they get it going shooting, then we better hope Hibachi brings it again.
