ESPN Poll

[01Snake]

Gotta love ESPN.

ESPNSportsNation Poll:

Which is the best team in the NBA:

Celtics

Hornets

Jazz

Lakers

Suns

[himat]

:lol

[xtremesteven33]

THE JAZZ??

hahhaa......

[TwoHandJam]

Someone should write a letter to them when the Pistons play the Spurs in the finals and ask them if there are positions open for writers. All you'd have to do is attach a copy of this poll and tell them that they sorely need new staff.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Well, we're not exactly playing like the best team in the NBA, so I don't know where this indignation comes from.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

:lol The Detroit/SA love is strong with the national media! You gotta love the respect the defending champs get! And Detroit owns the league's second best record!


Nice! :tu

[O-Factor]

No Spurs or Pistons? Thats this years Finals matchup.

The only thing that suprises me more than ESPN omitting the Spurs and Pistons, is their omission of the Cavs :lol

[MoSpur]

Hilarious!

[BonnerDynasty]

I hope Spurs and Pistons meet and kill the NBA after this year.


Seriously? Dumb mass America doesn't enjoy seeing a battle for every possession of the basketball game? That's a shame.

[nkdlunch]

hehe funny

[Texas_Ranger]

That's COOL!!! :lmao

[Spurminator]

The Pistons snub is far worse than the Spurs snub.

[urunobili]

Well, we're not exactly playing like the best team in the NBA, so I don't know where this indignation comes from.
what about being the reigning NBA champs?

[smeagol]

The Pistons snub is far worse than the Spurs snub.
Agreed.

They just broke the Suns 7 game winning record without the Rip-meister.

DET should be there instead of the Suns.

[nkdlunch]

you guys realize those are the top 5 in Stein's rankings right?

[ECZ]

WOW

lol lol...no respect

[ancestron]

roffle @ teh ESPN

[01Snake]

Now there is a new poll up and the Spurs are on this one.

[GSH]

Gotta love ESPN.

ESPNSportsNation Poll:

Which is the best team in the NBA:

Celtics

Hornets

Jazz

Lakers

Suns

They should follow up with a little NBA trivia quiz. "When was the last time the Larry O'brien trophy was awarded on the basis of a poll?"

Who gives a shit about their poll?

[SpurYank]

I may not have the same order after the Celtics, but the way we've played against these teams, I'd say they are perfectly justified in compiling this list.

[Xylus]

That poll is meant to ask, "Who's playing the best basketball right NOW?" That's the only logical explanation for leaving the Pistons and Spurs off.

[dbreiden83080]

Well, we're not exactly playing like the best team in the NBA, so I don't know where this indignation comes from.

Oh and the Jazz are?? Spurs are still the champs and are right in the thick of things.

[BuzzerBeater]

Gotta love ESPN.

ESPNSportsNation Poll:

Which is the best team in the NBA:

Celtics

Hornets

Jazz

Lakers

Suns

I would believe that like alot of other writers do they should start their poll with a lead line like "aside from the champs" or even splitting the poll into 2 parts, like east and west.

[honestfool84]

Gotta love ESPN.

ESPNSportsNation Poll:

Mavericks

Pistons
