[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Pistons
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]They lost a game and then went back to the lockerroom and laughed for an hour about how good they are. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]2[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Spurs
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]When asked why he refuses to start Manu Ginobli, Coach Popovich admitted, "Well, because he has the best skin on the team and I'm jealous."[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]3[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Mavs
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]There's nothing anyone can say to convince me that The Dirtbag Boys (Josh Howard and Marquis Daniels) don't have weed parties monthly. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]4[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Grizzlies
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]All jokes aside, this team plays the right way…because they aren't coached by Larry ****ing Brown. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]5[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Suns
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Steve Nash throws more alley-oops than I did on NBA Live '98 (aka the last good Live game EA put out). Yeah, Steve's incredible. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]6[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Heat
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]They had their chance to make a statement against the Pistons and they choked like Greg Norman eating a toasted PB&J on the back nine at Augusta.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]7[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Cavs
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]LeBron celebrated his 21st birthday by looking 15 years older than he actually is (Sorry, but that dude got Otis Nixon's disease). [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]8[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Nets
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Anyone who still can't admit that Vince Carter is the best dunker of all-time needs to take that cheese out their eyes and stop ignoring Juanita when she tells their cheesy ass to take out the trash. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]9[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Bucks
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Toni Kukoc was born in 1968. Ervin Johnson was born in 1967. These men are old. Why are they still playing? Why not just bring back Robert Parrish? I don't like watching people who were alive when Jimi Hendrix was alive. It's eerie. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]10[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Pacers
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]With Ron Artest no longer standing in the way, one has to wonder why Steal O' The Draft, Danny Granger hasn't stepped up for the Pacers. Oh, I know. Because he some bull****. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]11[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Warriors
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Does Adonal Foyle have kids? I sincerely hope not. His ugly genes would dominate any beautiful woman's genes you could name. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]12[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Clippers
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Elton's MVP chances are fading away as sadly as Ray Allen's hairline did. And everyone pretended to not notice that, too. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]13[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]T-Wolves
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I would pay to see the looks Spree's relatives give him these days. That's gotta be some uncut comedy right there. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]14[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]76ers
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Allen Iverson is dedicating this season to Dan Marino. In past years, he's dedicated seasons to Ernie Banks, Barry Sanders, Ted Williams and Michelle Kwan. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]15[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Lakers
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Asked to comment on his two-game suspension, a smirking Kobe stated: "I respect the League's ruling, but I still think it's little unfair. I mean, it's not like a raped someone." Then, he got in his Benz and drove away laughing like a meglomaniac who had James Bond in a deathtrap. I still don't know why people hate him.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]16[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Magic
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]For all the kids out there who never saw G. Hill's first step in his prime, let me put it this way: The ***** used to get the ball, stand there and freeze his man, then he'd take off like Chevy Chase on that sled in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]17[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Nuggets
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Steve Deberg's pinky to Marcus Camby's pinky: "You're a ****ing *****, dude."[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]18[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Jazz
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Contrary to media reports, Boozer did not return last week. So, I checked his AIM message.
BoozGotPaid: HAHAHA. Sike! Nah, but seriously, I hate it here. (What a *****)[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]19[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Sonics
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Asked if he feels any pressure to uphold his father's legacy, Damien Wilkins stopped laughing long enough to say, "My father? He wasn't ****. What the **** you talking about, man…hahahahahaha…'The **** you been smoking, dude?" [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]20[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Bulls
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Bulls paid 60 mill to an overrated big man with a bad heart after all. Funny how that worked out. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]21[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Wizards
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Etan Thomas expressed his feelings about the season with the following Haiku:
Damn, fans. We Sorry. Lots of Offense, No defense. I'm still rich though, fans. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]22[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Rockets
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]LMAO…Yao laughing. Yeah, Yao!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Let them *****es suffer. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]23[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Hornets
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Bostjan Nachbar, Maciej Lampe and Arvydas Macijauskas do not even form a player as good as Kwame Brown. That is a fact. These Euro scrubs are the reason guys like Louis Bullock, Casey Sanders, Jason Capel, Toby Bailey, and Lester Earl do not cash NBA paychecks. And more of them are drafted each year. That is some bull****. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]24[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Celtics
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]If Paul Pierce tells anyone that he wants to finish his career in Boston, he should be stabbed. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]25[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Kings
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]When you consider that Bonzi is good for at least 15 losses and Shareef is good for 20, doesn't the disappointment of the Kings' season make perfect sense. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]26[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Blazers
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Am I the only one who notices that Zach Randolph looks like Mongo off Heathcliff?[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]27[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Bobcats
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Asked to comment on Emeka Okafor's latest injury, an irate Bernie Bickerstaff replied, "**** you! And **** Dwight Howard! There you go. That's my comment. Happy? Print that. Bye." [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]28[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Hawks
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]If Salim has more than 200 assists this year, I'll gladly staple my balls together. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]29[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Knicks
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Captain's Log: StarDate 6871.3: We have just passed through a severe magnetic storm. Three of our crewman are dead and LARRY BROWN STILL HASN'T SET HIS ****ING STARTING LINEUP!!!! GODDAMN!!! KAAAAAAAAHN!!!![/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]30[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Raptors
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Ugliest frontcourt ever? Hmmm. Wait, did the Wizards have Michael Ruffin and Popeye Jones at the same time? [/FONT]

[Alpha and Omega]

This is true. Reasonable expectations are at the heart of disappointment.

2005-06 Power Rankings: Week 10
RANK (LAST WK) TEAM REC. COMMENT
1 (1) Pistons 26-5 Well ... now we know the team Pistons least want to see in the Finals. A second straight loss to Utah -- yes, Utah -- leaves our trusty No. 1 on a mere 69-13 pace.
2 (2) Spurs 26-8 Just a hunch, but I'm guessing Spurs don't mind one bit that their 26 wins (yes, same as Detroit's total) are generating very little attention/scrutiny/hoopla.
3 (3) Mavericks 25-9 No team has consistently hovered on the heels of the Pistons-Spurs duopoly like Mavs, and here's a big reason why: Dallas is 7-1 in the next game after a loss.
4 (4) Nets 19-12 The week off figured to help preserve Nets' hold on the coveted No. 4 slot. But they barely held on, even after Vince's buzzer-beater in Toronto. Suns are that hot.
5 (6) Suns 22-11 Why didn't they think of this sooner? Formal name change from America West Arena to US Airways Center coincides with back-to-back sweep of Heat and then Spurs.
6 (8) Grizzlies 21-11 My apologies. Grizz have played as though they don't realize Stoudamire's injury is supposed to drop them a notch or two. Until they got to Chicago, anyway.
7 (5) Cavaliers 20-11 Cavs will miss Hughes, obviously, but probably can scrape by in the short term if LBJ keeps this up: 32.5 ppg, 6.9 rpg, 6.9 apg and 51.4-percent shooting since Dec. 1.
8 (11) Pacers 18-13 If you thought last season was one of a kind, think again: Pacers win a couple without O'Neal and Tinsley as the Artest Watch spills into its second month.
9 (7) Heat 20-15 If Riles' goal was shifting the focus off Wade missing a game and an ugly start to a seven-game trip, dropping hints about leaving coaching at season's end did the trick.
10 (13) Jazz 17-17 When you've got Milt Palacio, who needs John Stockton? An exaggeration, perhaps, but for one magical overtime in Motown, you couldn't laugh at that question.
11 (9) Bucks 17-14 T.J. Ford does everything fast, apparently. And no one's happier to see him back so soon than Redd, who shot 36 percent from the floor in four-plus games without him.
12 (14) Lakers 17-16 Maybe Phil won't have to deal directly with Kobe's fury. Maybe the suspension did it for him, judging by the 98 points of anger No. 8 unleashed on Sixers and Clips.
13 (12) Clippers 17-14 Tough for Clips, in the midst of a 3-9 funk, to get too excited about Kaman's surge when the timetable for Maggette's return keeps getting stretched and stretched.
14 (9) Warriors 17-16 The prospect (threat?) of an Artest trade probably is affecting these guys and Denver more than Pacers. Indy, after all, is more accustomed to Artest-related uncertainty.
15 (20) Nuggets 17-18 Anyone else out there expecting Melo, who averaged 29.3 ppg in December, to get more All-Star support from the West's coaches than Grizzlies' Gasol?
16 (15) 76ers 16-17 Devastating as his scoring can be, Iverson is still best when he's also a passer. Sixers are 14-8 when AI has at least six assists, 2-9 when he dishes five or fewer.
17 (18) Hornets 15-18 The present is suddenly painful for Hornets' much-hyped Backcourt of the Future. Paul's out for two weeks, and J.R. Smith has landed in Byron Scott's doghouse.
18 (17) Timberwolves 15-16 Go ahead and add Wolves to the list of teams affected by Artest speculation. Minny is 3-10 since its five-game win streak and under .500 for the first time since 3-4.
19 (27) Raptors 11-23 Way up here? It's a must when my Raps average 110 ppg in stretching their win streak to five and wipe out two second-half deficits of 10-plus points.
20 (19) Wizards 13-18 Just like their first-round playoff foes from Chicago, Wiz are five games under .500. The difference? One coach (Jordan) is feeling more heat than the other (Skiles).
21 (23) Bulls 14-19 If smallish Bulls can recover from an eight-game skid and a 2-9 rut at home, with their declining defense, it would top last season's resurrection from an 0-9 start.
22 (16) Magic 13-18 Retirement is suddenly on Hill's mind, but no one's rooting harder for his swift return than Howard, who desperately needs Hill's playmaking to get to the playoffs.
23 (21) Kings 13-19 The good news? Miller double-doubled in four straight after Reef got hurt. The bad news? Kings don't see Clips again until April; Sacto has won the past 11 meetings.
24 (22) SuperSonics 14-19 The worst news about the new coach getting called for on-court interference in Detroit? Hill's run-in with Rip was the best defensive instinct from Sonics all season.
25 (30) Knicks 10-21 So what can so suddenly make Larry and Steph look (somewhat) harmonious and spark a 3-0 week? Two straight humbling weeks at No. 30, that's what.
26 (24) Celtics 13-20 Celts' defense is getting leakier, and they don't win the close ones: 10 of their 20 losses are by five or fewer points. As a result, fan discontent with Doc is rising.
27 (26) Rockets 12-20 No Yao and no T-Mac? Good thing Houston will be hosting the All-Star Game, because it suddenly has no All-Stars in this bad-to-worse nightmare of a season.
28 (29) Hawks 9-22 On second thought, perhaps Hawks shouldn't be slammed for losing three in a row -- and two in one week -- to a Toronto team that's 10-8 since a 1-15 start.
29 (25) Trail Blazers 10-24 Blake? Telfair? Just start the guy who best puts Randolph in position to score 20 because Blazers win when it happens (8-4) ... but it doesn't happen enough.
30 (28) Bobcats 10-23 As if the Okafor and Knight injuries weren't troubling enough, there's this: Wallace hasn't led Bobcats in scoring once since his Player of the Week honors in November

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

I wouldn't put the Jazz so high, but hey that's just me

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

You know Lobo...... I know somewhere here I suggested that Lee can play Small Forward.. and now look...

I dont' care... The 3 rookies are doing great so even if they don't go anywhere this year... they have a decent future with those 3 and Ariza and Curry.
