You don't make sense man, how am I trying to act like a tough guy? Anyways - whatever, post your articles. I really don't care to police the internet, I was just surprised that nobody seems to care about the countless ESPN Insider articles being copied and pasted. This is the type of action that can get ClutchFans in trouble, in my opinion. I enjoy my Insider subscription (which is free with my ESPN magazine subscription) and find many of the articles to be quite interesting, Hollinger's in particular. If Insider is so lame that they get their content from other places, why not just find the other sources and post that information?
I was referring to your "Got a problem with that?" after you came into the thread to criticize my posting of the Insider rankings. Was a joke that you didn't get. I never use my Insider access and don't read their crap magazine either...not sure why I still pay every month. If Clutch or the crew has an issue with me posting Insider requests, I will happily stop. I just found it humorous that someone was reading the thread then decided to lecture later on.
11-20 are out. Looks like I was wrong; still no Rockets: 11. New York Knicks 12. Sacramento Kings 13. Boston Celtics 14. Dallas Mavericks 15. New Jersey nets 16. L.A. Clippers 17. Indiana Pacers 18. Milwaukee Bucks 19. Atlanta Hawks 20. Washington Wizards Link: http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?page=FuturePowerRankings-3-100803
Wow, very generous to have the Knickerbockers at #11 and the Queens at #12. They dropped Boston and Dallas to #13 and #14?
Nah, no grudge. Just entertaining that you decided to take this thread for a ride ride. No offense meant. Your initial response in this thread was the wet blanket "lamer than cleveland fan" one.
they have only posted up to number 11 and the rockets are definitely in the top ten since they aren't in 11-30.
So picks in the top ten that I didn't get: In - Utah and Denver (I can see Utah, but I can't see Denver if you're presuming that NY's future is bright because Melo has a good chance of going over there). Out - Sacramento and Atlanta. Sacramento's still high, Atlanta's not. By virtue of this I think Hollinger to mean the future as in what is >3yrs from now. Because Atlanta is not so old that they will suck next year, but the decline will be slow and gradual as Joe Johnson ages.
ESPN hasn't posted 1-10 yet, but when they do, will someone please post it here? It would be much appreciated!
Knicks at 11 seems ridiculous. Amar'e is not worth the money and is gonna be a drain. I guess they are just overrating the New York marker. Kings at 12 is solid. Evans and Cousins, with Landry, Thompsan, Udrih and Casspi are actually a pretty solid team going forward.
