Title: ESN NBA Power Rankings || Dec 27th||
Post by: eS El Duque on December 28, 2004, 06:25:43 PM

Top 5

1. Suns
Suns' last loss? Try Dec. 3. It therefore shouldn't be a surprise that this is the first team to maintain its hold on the top spot for two weeks running since the regular season started.

2. Supersonics
It's not as good as Sandler and his SuperSonic-ahs, but it's my second-favorite Seattle line: Ray Ray calling the offense 'organized confusion.' One of the lines of the season so far.

3. Spurs
Committee feels safe in saying that Spurs will win most nights if they keep scoring 96 a game. Another surprise: San Antonio is 7-2 on the second night of back-to-backs somehow.

4. Heat
Heat should be feeling good about themselves. Miami's up to 6-5 vs. the West and, on top of Wade and Shaq, has two undrafted starters (D-Jones and Haslem) chipping in nicely.

5. Magic
This is out-of-control high for the Magic, honestly, but the committee is having real issues these days after No. 4 with only four teams in the whole league on any kind of run.

Other Notables

9. Cavs
So much for the pre-season supposition that McInnis and Snow couldn't co-exist in Cavsland. It's Silas and Snow who can't get along; Shaq ain't the only one who hasn't buried the hatchet.

15. Lakers
It's hard to believe, but Lakers insist it's true. They say the media contingent that turned out for Shaq-Kobe I was only comparable to a second-round playoff game.

20. Bulls
A case can be made that we've been too tough on those Baby Bulls. Facing only two teams over .500 in the next eight games, they have a real chance to make it a stronger case.

25. Raptors
Raps could really use hockey's return about now to distract the locals from this nagging question: T-Mac and now Vince are gone, and what has this franchise gotten in return?

It looks like a lot of people will be feeling stupid by the end of the season...
