Blazers Overrated, Jazz Underrated??

[Basketball1]

This was on the Portland Board. USA Today ranks all 30 NBA teams. Blazers #5, and the Jazz #12. I think both teams are top 10. What do you think?

Who cares about USA Today's rankings and the author of this story "Chis Colston" doesn't
have a very good track record. Once Oden, Bayless and Fernandez each play one single
game in the NBA, this discussion could begin - before that time, it's all speculative trash.

Hell Rudy Fernandez might be their best rookie, so hell no the Blazers are not overrated. They are frighteningly good. Top 6 for sure with LAL, UTA, NOH, SAS, and HOU. I don't care to rank any of those teams, cause to me besides SAS, any of those teams can be first if all the chips fall in place. Just look at the Hornets last season, from not making the playoffs to barely missing the first seed, and I'd say Portland could make an equal run with as much luck in the health department.

Whoa! Top 6?? I dunno, I just can't see them being better than the Suns or Dallas next year.

D'Antoni is gone, and Nash could plummet under a new system. Remember Nash prior to D'Antoni? Well he was NOWHERE near as good. Shaq gets older, as does Hill. I don't know, I just don't see this team as a threat to Portland. Dallas should make the playoffs, but probably 8th behind Portland and Phoenix.

Do you want to switch teams Kong? I'm sure the Blazer fans wouldn't mind another banwagoner.

Utah has always been underrated.

But if any teams have been overrated the last few years, it's been Cleveland, Orlando and now the 76ers.

Cleveland is such a wild card because you never know what is going to happen with leBron.

Sometimes he's great and his team comes through and they somehow seem to win games they shouldn't, and then sometimes they just look flat, the offense looks horrible and they lose games they shouldn't.
