You're sleeping on the Russ-DeRozen-Lavine-Sabonis Kings
Bro you got the hawks way to high
I could have that 6-13 group in any order, but I knew putting the Hawks on top would annoy all of you.
The Pistons made the playoffs!!
And I have them making the playoffs with homecourt advantage this season
How are the hawks 7 then?
Significant roster improvement and a proven playoff alpha
Ugh
Bookmark it Blok. Maximum ridicule once the Hawks finish 9th in the east.
Agree. Should have had Kings higher. They were most difficult for me to place.
It is disturbing how much faith you have in the Hawks and how little faith you have in the Raptors. This is going to be more disappointing for you than watching your Raiders.
Once again, I'm also choosing to not believe in the Rockets.
I am talking about the Raptors. I know you don't have faith in the Rockets.
It's ok. You will get your first sour taste of defeat on Wednesday night when the Raptors roll into Atlanta and smack them around all over their own court.
Young teams in Atlanta tend to play like they were out late the night before.
Raptors can roll out of the strip club at 6am and beat your sad sack Hawks.
@Undisciplined @gnilma I know it is difficult to improve upon near perfection but I look forward to your rankings.
Sorry for not replying. I've been prioritizing doing other stuff and haven't found time to type out my rankings. Pretty good list from both of you. One thing I'm going to say on both lists is that you're both sleeping on the Spurs.
You're right. If Wemby is going to play like that the Spurs are going to be a problem. Way better than the Hawks but probably not as good as the Raptors. Raptors should move to 9 and Spurs to 11.
Not just Wemby. Castle and the other young guys are playing hard and playing well. Also, Fox isn't even playing yet. Yea, I think I'll put them around 10ish too, or maybe even 8/9 when the team comes back to full strength.
Ok Raptors 8 and Spurs 9.
LETS GO KNICKS
