2 #1's and a #2. Nice, isn't Portland a little high? I know they are still on a roll, but being in the top 10 in two of the standings is a little high.

 

[playmaker7]

Pretty good rankings. Lakers deserve to be so high...but IDK about Hollinger. 4 could be a lil too high.

And you can add another win to LA ^_^

 

[dez]

I hate Hollinger.

 

[Yankees2772]

So do I dez. We're bad, but if Isiah plays Lee, Nate, Balkman, Crawford and Rose more often, we would do much better.... Nate - Crawford - Balkman - Rose - Lee is a nice lineup of bench players

True, IDK why he doesnt give those guys (including Wilson Chandler) more pt, but we should still be ahead of a team w/ only 4 wins in 26 games, yes we have the worse front office in the league but that shouldnt be a factor in power rankings.

 

[_roboy]

Damn straight... Clippers not ranked last for any of them lol.

 

[Pugz]

I liie these but I STILL HATE Hollinger no matter what.

 

[Mexi]

lol at Jim Hollinger New Orleans Raptors
Hollinger owns. his rankings are more how well a team has been playing lately, and how good they are compared to everyone else

 

[RipCity32]

Ya, Hollinger is kind of a stupid arse. He hates on so many teams. Like Detroit lol.

 

[.GR]

Blazers at 7......Chia!

How good the Knicks have been playing lately?

We were down by 25 to the Lakers, a top 10 team in the league. Then, Isiah puts in Balkman, Lee, Robinson, Rose and Crawford to get more PT... Rose draws tons of charges, Balkman getting loose balls, Robinson too. Lee getting rebounds and Crawford scoring over anyone at will, and we cut it to I believe 2 points in less than 2 quarters, and you guys won 95-90.

We beat a playoff bound Cavs team a week ago, 108-90. We beat the Nets twice this month.

We've beaten the Nuggets and Jazz.

All of our wins have come against teams that should be in the playoffs... It's just on some nights, we play so badly that it outweighs our wins.

[.GR]

Yay, Sacramento moved up to 22. <_<

 

[RipCity32]

Well that figures, the refs give Boston the game and we move down, but go up in Hollingers. sigh.

 

[Mexi]

Hollinger's rankings are based more on stats and not as much on records...
