And I think we are a bit low on the CNNSI Rankings, but then again this doesn't count for anything.
I think Utah are a bit to high on the ESPN ratings. They lost to Toronto at home, and beat a Pistons team without Ben Wallace, Chauncey Billups and Larry Brown. They should've fallen to 3-5, not stayed at 2.
