some of those are surprising. are those for real NASPurs?

i would have never thought the spurs would have been that poor considering the division your in.

chicago surprised me as well, as did denver.

Of the teams that are capable of making it to the NBA Finals, Boston/Dallas by far have had the toughest schedule, and Boston has won a number of games short-handed which makes their record all the more impressive.

It does not surprise me at all that Boston clearly leads in Hollinger's rankings right now.

Miami's strength of schedule has been a cake walk, even over the last 10. They are ranked 3rd because they are blowing out teams that they are supposed to beat.
