    I don't know about the Suns being a suspension away from a title that year. And what's with Andrew Bynum, is he hurt again? Jesus son get in the weightroom. It's funny that the Cavs were so close last year and are so terrible this year with the same exact team except for Shaq. Lakers and Magic for it all.

    We'll see about that Suns D come playoff time. Really fun to watch. It's like the Knicks but with real ballplayers.
    Crawford makes all the difference in the ATL. Josh Smith has improved three-fold.
    Rockets are overachieving and it's good to see D-Wade get some help from his team mates.
    The Lakers organization better hang Phill Jackson and Tex Winter "jerseys" in Staples when it's all over. Perhaps clipboards or tweed blazers?

    damn it be so much lebron ass kissing on these threads. For the first time, they made clear since. Kobe is straight up balling, clearly Kobe is the best player in the world. Kobe will do whatever it takes to get his 5th ring.

    Where are the cavs? what a joke of a top 10 list. you have these garbage teams ahead of the cavs like houston and portland, this is not realistic at all. please never make a top 10 list again.

    Hey, that's an excellent question: Where are the Cavs? They know the season started two weeks ago, right? Haaiyyooo!
    P.S. Houston and Portland are playing better than the Cavs, so the only "garbage" I've really seen is Cleveland's offensive execution (asides to The King, of course).
    Do people even know what Power Polls are? Or do most people just go with the "I'm a homer, and where's my team, and you guys suck" approach?

    Nuggets & Suns are making for a wilder West finish, even as early as now. Whereas most were speaking highly of only the Lakers & Spurs, now you add those 2 teams to the mix and possibly Portland's resurgence--this will be a hotly contested Western Conference.
    In the East, however, make no mistake: it really is a two-team race between the Celtics and Magic. Cleveland, unless they can find a translate Shaq's presence into victories, they will be as much of contenders as the Heat and Hawks come April.

    It's hard to pick the best team. But there's no contest for the worst team. The New York Knicks are perhaps the worst team of the decade. When Al Harrington is your go-to player, you know you're in trouble. Seriously, this team has trouble competing in the NCAA.

    Thank you for calling out the bloody idiotic "homers" who read these unambiguous Power Rankings. Really, it's not that hard to read and understand, folks.

    I sincerely think Mbenga is the best defensive center in the league. Trade Gasol and Bynum away now for some future first round draft kits Mr. Buss!!!!!!

    yea rockets! hopefully they keep up the intensity and solid three pt shooting. people thought they would be a lottery team but with teams like the jazz and hornets struggling it looks like my rockets could get a fairly high spot

    @ law,,, its amazing that you were in that room with kobe and the con artist, and never got mentioned in any police reports, or newspapers. You must have been in the room though, since you speak with such authority on the situation. you are smart.
