The Heat get the nod.
That is ok with me, as perhaps at number 2 this week the Spurs will try harder and get out of this minor lull![]()

I will add that most fans do not either..
berry berry twue.
these rankings are like non-structural pillars, they serve no real purpose but some idiots think they look nice.
So can we get into the BCS le game?
Power Ranking does not matter but i do like this part
Perhaps more than any other NBA star, statistics cannot adequately convey Manu Ginobili's value. The fourth quarter of Friday's game in Indiana is a recent example. With the Spurs down nine with six minutes to play, Ginobili draws a charge on Danny Granger, sending Indiana's leading scorer to the bench with his fifth foul. A minute later, he steals the ball and goes in for a layup. Forty seconds after that, he nails a three from the top of the key and it is suddenly a two-point game. With 16 seconds left and the Spurs down a point, he was fouled and made both free throws. According to the "clutch" stats at 82games.com, every one of Ginobili's relevant stats except for assists -- field-goal, free-throw and three-point accuracy, steals, rebounds, blocks and turnovers -- improves in the last five minutes of games in which teams are separated by five points or fewer. But you still have to see it to fully appreciate it.
.... just reiterating.
miami is starting to look scary though..
Granted these rankings mean nothing but I prefer Spurs not at the top this time of year but building toward a le run anyway.
Heat don't have a tough stretch until March, they'll probably take the best record soon.
