Courtesy of NetsDaily: <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>After two wins against the Heat and Warriors, the Nets have not risen much in the power rankings…maybe the writers are as tired of inconsistency as the fans. John Schuhmann of NBA.com ranks New Jersey at #20, Marty Burns of SI at #21, while Marc Stein of ESPN is most optimistic, pushing them four spots to #19. The new frontcourt of Boone and Williams is nice, but the “real test” will be the Pistons.</div> Early Presents - John Schuhmann - NBA.com Pistons can enjoy Christmas in No. 1 spot - Marc Stein - ESPN Power trio puts Boston back on top, but tests ahead - Marty Burns - Sports Illustrated I'm pretty surprised by this. I woulda at least expected a small rise from everyone, similar to Stein.
