    I was just curious and wanted to know why we are ranked the worst team in the west standings atm even though there are teams with worse records. Is there actual evidence of why this is?

    VBG about sums up my thoughts. But it's probably because whoever put together this list isn't sold on Kevin McHale - or the usual answer, they're not familiar with the mediocre teams in the NBA.

    Exactly! The original list had us ranked first, but Stern blocked it!

    We need a better striker pair and possibly good midfielders to control the tempo and distribute.

    Ask again when finished our monster 10 game schedule to start the chase for the top 5 draft pick.

    I hope we are either chasing that or the top spot. Worse case is 5-5 record. There are some real tankers out there though we would be competing against. Jazz (with their everyone on 13 man rotation plays some significant minutes - pure genius), Wizards, Raptors, Pistons and the Suns all look like they are starting strong right out of the gate.
