http://espn.go.com/nba/powerrankings The only team higher than the Rockets lost to them twice during the preseason.
I would only respect that ranking if the Rockets come out of this week untouched at 4-0. If the team can burn the Clippers on both meetings....the team will turn a lot of heads.
Cant complain with number two although i believe if its a true power rankings were it is solely based on what you have done lately and nothing else then I could make an argument for number one especially if we beat the clips tonight.
I agree, at least they wasn't expected to have a 3-0 start so if any team other than the rockets deserve to be #1 in any rankings at this point in the season... it's the Sixers (and you can thank Hinkie for that)
