    These things are beauty contests designed to get clicks from fans. I think that the general notion is to show where they think various teams rank overall based on their record and recent performance.

    If it's recent performance, that makes sense.

    Either way, it makes sense. The Blazers currently have the 5th best record in the entire league so their being ranked 4th or 5th isn't exactly a stretch.

    Of course, if they crap in their bed this week, they could fall to 10th or 11th pretty easily.

    Point is that they don't mean shit.

    I think I predicted 45 wins? They are on pace for 48.5 right now with the schedule getting harder.

    Also, Collins is doing what I thought he would.

    What a whiny post. Put your big boy pants on.

    Return to your arrogant, cherry-picking stats multiple personality. One time you were rudely stomping on people, I complained, and you told me to put my big boy pants on. Been waiting a couple of years to say it to you...

    If it's been a couple years i figure he probably has earned the right to whine a little bit.

    I said a "LITTLE BIT!"

    I can't! My big boy pants don't fit anymore. I lost too much weight. I am permanently fated to wearing little boy pants. Woe is me! No one on this anonymous message board will ever take me seriously ever again!!!

    (Hows that for a whine within a whine?)

    Sounds like bragging to me. Congrats on the weight loss.

    Yes, I wish they would put actual rank next to their "Power Rank", to actually see what limbs they're going out on, if they are at all.
