    This early into the season, power rankings, player rankings, fans rantings, are absolutely of no use. Utah, 76ers and Hornets all have unbeaten records, does that gurantee a championship for them? Dallas lost all their games, does that mean they should be headed towards the lottery? For now, I don't give a *beep* about power rankings.

    Its very early in the season and for a team thats supposed to be very good on paper I would say thats a fair assessment.

    I agree I think they can win it all, IF they stay healthy. Which I think is very small, between Boozer and AK they haven't stayed healthy an entire season for a while and Harpring hasn't either.

    Very good team, with alot of injuries.

    They are a good team, but claiming that they can win it all at this point is extremely premature. They don't have a go to guy. Plenty of mediocre teams are starting well compared to the top tiered teams, but this has not bearing on how the season will end, since there is still a very long way to go.

    *shrug* These power rankings just confuse the crap out of me. We destroyed the Mavs and they are winless. somehow we drop in rankings? Not like i care all too much, but sometimes these power rankings are just not very logical to me. These rankings go by a week to week basis. If Utah can jump up to 1, then Dallas can drop down to 20.

    I agree the rankings are meaningless. I hate the poll system for college football and this isn't any different. But one funny thing to note is that our losses are to #1 Utah and #2 NO according to the power rankings geniuses.

    Oops. That was based on a few days ago, I just saw the revised list now. #2 NO, #3 Utah.

    i'm happy with 14. after the way we played in utah added with a 1-2 record, i expected worse. i guess kicking the mavs ass saved us.
