Ofcourse two of the top three teams are from the Western Conference instead of the eastern CreamPuff Conference. I’m not surprised that the Repeat World Champion Lakers flipped the switch yet again and once again are the top power team. With Bynum back after his hard foul that shocked the wimpy NBA the Lakers will roll through the final games of the season and will Threepeat this June!

Sorry Kurt Helin but Jerry Sloan deserves coach of the year award despite resigning early as he really did a great job of getting the Jazz to win so many games with that whiner Deron Williams. Thibodeau had it way too easy stealing players from the Jazz last summer and isn’t performing as well as one should expect from a team in the Eastern CreamPuff Conference.

I messed up that opening. I had the Thunder No. 4 going in to Sunday because they were not going to lose and… well they lost and I dropped them a little for that rather ugly showing. But then forgot to change the intro, which was my Thunder-like screwup.

It’s corrected now.

“Notice that three of the top four are from the West? ”

Am I missing something? I see a 50/50 split.

“Notice that three of the top four are from the West? That’s because the East is stumbling toward the playoffs.”

So it Boston or Chicago part of the West?

ya know…i take back any harsh criticism. that was a cheap shot and i’m better than that. this is a capitalistic society. a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do. there are big fish and small fish and we are all swimming in the same pond. with that said, i did click on your link and found it enjoyable reading another person’s viewpoints…as i also find PBT’s stories enjoyable as well. carry on!

@lounge – Thanks for your thoughts. Considering the people who read and comment on this board have made Kurt their whipping boy and keep flocking to my rankings every Monday, I think I’ll stay with what’s working.

Yes! Lakers are rolling right now! I love it! totally agree with the C’s comment, rondo is critical to their success. any of the top 8 could win the Finals this year.

@zblott man, how do i say this? but plugging your own rankings list on some else’s site is tacky. though i guess since we are all here searching for knowledge, so in the grand scheme, it’s no biggie but it reeks of desperation. anyway…
