the celtics struck gold a few years back and never added to it, so i have no pitty for them...as much as i love jeff green, that was the nail in the coffin (perkins was to boston what tyson chandler was to dallas)

Score updates and comments Jan. 10th
 

Atlanta 106 New Jersey 101

Better game than it should have been... Atlanta came out of the gates strong but like any team that's been beat up by the same team twice... pride started to kick in and New Jersey got on a good little run... but wasn't enough to get the W... Josh Smith had stand out night with 26 points and 6 boards... one thing the Nets can get out of this game... the rookie Marshon Brooks is showing a lot of potential with another good game against the hawks with 19 points and 10 boards...

Indiana 86 Philly 96

Iguodala's 20 points was too much for the up and coming Pacers... with a good bench performance in this game they pretty much had control of the game throughout...

Minnesota 87 Toronto 97

Kevin Love really struggled in this one while Bargnani dropped 31 in this one... They're gonna need bigger contributions from Wesley Matthews... he didn't score a single point in this one...

Charlotte 87 New York 91

This game shouldn't have been this close at home against a less than average Charlotte... but hey... a win is a win...

Detroit 68 Chicago 92

Nobody is surprised at this outcome... top notch team against one of the worst in the league... pretty obvious outcome...

New Orleans 94 Denver 81

Denver's first home loss of the season... and a painful one at that... this was a gimme game but lackluster defense had a pretty mediocre Hornets team shoot %52 from the field... and taking alot of threes didnt help either... also their post D has to improve

daamn...no love for detroit

lol you wanna make a bet the knicks do better than the rockets lmfao...do you even watch knicks games bro? lol...the knicks lineup has changed and the new players are trynna mesh with the new team....i get most nba games on my satelite so i watch half the games every night and watch all the highlights in the morning...

you should change the title of this thread to "espns power rankings" lol

the rockets got a good backcourt of lowry and martin but they def need a trade to strengthen up that front court.....lol you my nigga but watch knicks will win more games this week and in the entire season than the rockets

i aint saying ya rankings are terrible its just i got my opinion...and evrybody got there own opinion on them experts sites

http://espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/powerrankings


look how different these rankings are compared to the ones you posted, everybody uses different factors for these lists

i like these predictions better,id put philly 7th new york 5th and orlando 6th and boston 4th

yea that's reasonable... those are the main spots that could be a toss up

mines are the one's I made up... mine is completely different from espn's lol and if you didn't notice... in mines the knicks are higher than the rockets lmaoo i was explaining it in the eyes of an espn analyst...

Annnnndddd that one still has the Rockets higher than the knicks hahaha but hollinger got philly number 1??? that's a stretch... but like i said i made up my own rankings... and power rankings is again... who's playing the best RIGHT NOW!!! now down the road not projections at the end of the year... RIGHT NOW lol

lol all the descriptions for each team are the same ones from espn power rankings and yea like i said every body does power rankings off of different things....i do mine different from these guys and i probly watch more basketball games than some of them

i think memphis will get that 8th spot in the west too or mabe the jazz

no they're not lol but a few i did use a point they made in theirs... but that's only like 2 or 3 haha but hollingers was kinda bad haha
