Funny how it took him leaving ESPN for his rankings to show the Clippers in any positive light.

Honestly I don't think we should be at the top right now. Maybe top 5, but not 1 yet. But his rankings probably took into account we beat OKC in their arena.

I never have nor ever will have respect for that fool and his skewed system.

What's funny is neither have I. He tinkered with his "formula" quite a bit, and I've always had a theory that many of the changes he made were at least in part to help keep the Clippers lower in the rankings. I know that sounds like the thoughts of a butt-hurt Clippers fan, but the truth is that he didn't just rely on numbers; he also wrote columns and his take on the Clippers was always very negative and not in-line with what other journalists were saying.

That's why I thought it was funny that the Clippers finally get the top seed after he left ESPN.
