http://www.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/nba/power-rankings.htm?csp=34

Blazers at #5 baby!

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Spurs #4 baby!

[greensborohill]

Shouldn't the Blazers have to DO something before being given the #5 ranking?

[MavDynasty]

How are the shitty Mavs ahead of Utah?

[2Cleva]

I first though David Dupree lost his mind but it looks like a new guy is on the job at USA Today. He should have stuck to football.

[manufor3]

that list sucks, blazers ahead of detroit?

[GuerillaBlack]

Shouldn't the Blazers have to DO something before being given the #5 ranking?

Seriously.

What a shitty list.

[kupogrey]

76ers and blazers over rocks,cavs,suns,mavs




TERRIBLE

[TheMACHINE]

Seriously.

What a shitty list.

Remember, this list is Pre-Season Power Rankings. All based on "paper".

[Findog]

Shouldn't the Blazers have to DO something before being given the #5 ranking?

Yes.

[Findog]

that's a pretty terrible list. mavs over jazz? cavs over jazz? warriors over the nuggets and clippers?

[Findog]

Usually with these lists it's just trying to be provocative to spur conversation.

[Findog]

And the knicks won't be the worst team in the league. They won't be good, but they won't be the worst either.

[dirk4mvp]

Those one liners on the side are just plain shitty.

[lefty]

Unbeavable

[Texas_Ranger]

When healthy Spurs are the best.

[IronMexican]

What a dipshit.

his Grizz comment is retarded

[The Franchise]

This list is horrendous. Does this guy know anything about bball?

[lefty]

What a dipshit.

his Grizz comment is retarded

I agree; should be sued for that

[Ill Cosby]

Hornets at #3!!!!

We are better than the Lakers. The Lake Show showed that they would have been murderlized by the pick-and-roll offense by their lack of team defense. And we could just put Posey on Kobe like in the Finals :toast Hornets for 08-09 Chiz-amps!!:lobt2:


Window is closing for NowitzKidd.

No...the window has closed

[Bartleby]

76ers and blazers over rocks,cavs,suns,mavs




TERRIBLE

The Sixers are going to be a dangerous team. While I wouldn't put them over the rocks or cavs, they will probably be better than the rapidly sinking suns and mavs.

[Girasuck]

HAHAHA!!! Jazz at #12. I love it. What a great list.

[ThunderStix®]

The Rockets, Jazz, Cavs, Magic, and Sixers are all better in my opinion.

The Pistons are probably better also.

[Red Hawk #21]

Jeez that list sucks...

[ThunderStix®]

Jeez that list sucks...

Agreed.

[Brutalis]

:lmao @ that

[Red Hawk #21]

This were the worst lines of that article:
#24 Memphis Grizzlies - Mayo-Gay (Gayo?) combo could be fun to watch.
#26 Sacramento Kings -At least they have Beno Udrih.
#28 Oklahoma City - SuperSonics new nickname: SuperBads?

[RonMexico]

I didn't realize Blazermania was so huge.b

[RonMexico]

And this really is the worst thing I've ever read.

[Lakers_55]

Well, it's the first list. Once the season starts, many teams are going to bounce all over the place, taking turns at the top, etc...

[Roxsfan]

this list is lame.

[tlongII]

I have no problem with the list.

[Biggems]

76ers and blazers over rocks,cavs,suns,mavs




TERRIBLE

first of all, you said it wrong.

first of all, it's turrabull

:p:

[rj215]

Chris Colston = crackhead

[nickdakoolkat]

that's a pretty terrible list. mavs over jazz? cavs over jazz? warriors over the nuggets and clippers?

the warriors are better than the nuggs and clippers....the blazers being number 5 however is a bit suspect....and the jazz being so low as well as the rockets is simply ludacris

[dallaskd]

who ever wrote this is a douche bag. read his comments on each team..


SuperSonics new nickname: SuperBads?

lame

[Spurtacus]

I have more respect for the crap out of my ass than this list.

[slayermin]

"Off-field troubles?"

Is he talking about the Astros or the Texans?

[Flight3107]

Clippers should be top 5

[robbie380]

i hate the jazz as much as anyone but putting them at 12 is just retarded. what a horrible list. hopefully this writer gets fired.:lol

[kupogrey]

Clippers should be top 5


you smoking some of that strong stuff huh?



turrabull lol

[Flight3107]

^^^ ?

[TMAC-YAO-ARTEST]

^^^ ?

translation: you must be smoking crack because only someone who is wasted would put the clips in the top 5.
**insert Charles Barkley saying terrible..ie turrabull**

I don't think what he said required translation for you though---you know what he meant--that the clips are NOT a top 5 team and you ARE out of your mind.

[sook]

ROFL at the blazers and 76ers, i like both teams highly but come on...one barely made the playoffs and the other didn't make it at all.


Best line of the rankings, on the rockets : Might be higher if not for Alston's off-field trouble, Artest's volatility and Yao's injury woes.

This guy is a douchebag :ihit
