Houston IS No 1 in the new NBA power ranking! The link will be filled shortly! NBA.com ESPN.com CNNSI Sporting News
spurs loss, lakers loss.... it's possible, but i doubt it, celts on a 8 game win streak, better record.... i could care less about the power rankings though, we're unquestionably the hottest team in the league
This power ranking is bullshxt. We should have raised to No.1 in Feb when Yao and Landry were healthy.
So it's the CNNSI ranking we 'won' last week. Looks like the media is starting to pile on the bandwagon, finally. Just read the comments. Certainly the gayest nickname in CF.net history. Well, maybe a top five.
Houston Rockets Tracy McGrady isn't the only reason they've been able to thrive without Yao. Alston has averaged 15.4 points and 7.0 assists during the streak while directing an offense nearly as free-flowing as one of Rick Adelman's old Kings squads. More props to Alston and Rick too.
You do realize that once Yao went out the teams offensive efficiency is at #1 in the league at 117.4 just ahead of Phoenix, while the defensive efficiency is at #2 during this streak just behind Boston. What people should realize is there is no other team in the league that can safely say they rank in the top 5 in both of these catagories. Also Houston is #1 in the league in rebounding rate. This is just something to think about.
everytime we are ranked 1st, we are going to lose a key player the following week. who is the next? TMAC? Scola? Rafer? Deke? Hayes?
