Its a joke! We are ranked behind the Spurs - no one felt sorry for us when we had injuries and they ranked us lower. But the Spurs they still get ranked up higher than us despite their injuries! Dang joke!
Yeah, what a crock. We if we got ranked on how many games we barely lost in previous years, we should have been very high on their lists.
The Spurs are the only team with a losing record in the top 10! Please! They aren't deserving of a top 10 ranking!
Look at the spurs schedule and look at the rockets schedule. Then consider the fact that the Spurs havent had Parker all year and Duncan as missed a few games. I hate the spurs, but they should easily be in the top 10.
Stein always likes to underrate us. He probably still thinks that Van Gundy and Francis are at each others throats. He's a slightly less sucky version of chad ford.
Damn... you would think these were BCS rankings determining bowl games, with the fervor that's being displayed in here. But, why the hell can't ESPN downsize the logo... I can do it in 5 sec. in photoshop... I can't beleive they don't think it looks soooo out of place. (and, for you logo-haters...its not the logo, its the size they have it set at.)
Nah, look at SI.com's power rankings. The logo looks MUCH better when it's proportionate. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2003/basketball/nba/11/03/power.rankings/index.html
I suspect we will continue to move up the ladder in the rankings as our record keeps improving. It wouldn't be politically correct to place us any higher for the moment. In all honesty, it feels good to be above the Kings, Wolves, and Nets. The bulls have the best logo
Thanks DT.... it does look good... and I LOVE the simplicity. Seriously... look at our logo, then look at Toronto's or Orlando's... those make my eyes hurt. It does need a tad bit of depth tho... but it'll do.
I think our ranking is about right. They hit right on the money that we have beaten teams we should have. Also if we were undefeated, we would probabley be in the same position we are in now.
Here are the rankings from Fox Sports and Dime Magazine: The Rockets are #4, up from #14, BEHIND the Sonics. Go figure. DIME HIT LIST
Check this out At no.10 is "Jeff Van Gundy's Pacers" do they hate our new logo or what? http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2003/basketball/nba/11/10/power.rankings/index.html
