This is pretty interesting. I like how the Lakers are on top of the West.

If this has already been posted, my bad.

You know these ratings blow when San Antonio has a 0.9% at winning the title.. yawn
These are a who's now thing, and LA is on fire, SA is suckin'..take it with a grain of salt. Ain't trying to put you guys down, very good, underrated team, but for SA to be THAT low..eh

for a change, i agree with the Suns fan.
to put us above the Spurs is plain ridiculous IMHO.

That's ridiculous. And we all know that the Spurs will turn it up after the ASB, peaking perfectly for the playoffs. If we can stay injury free and keep improving at the rate we have been thus far, we have a shot, though.

yeah but blame the formula....

This holds as much weight as the BCS rankings.

Ridiculous to be honest.

Yah, I saw that ranking last week, its a bit "ambitious" if you ask other folks, maybe if they were to explain there formula, that would help. And besides, nobody wins championships on paper.

Stats, stats, and more stats. Just stats, means nothing. But don't tell that to Steve Hartman.

I wonder which of Hollinger's stats account for Bynum's injury.

26-11 and Kobe Bryant on your team.....

Sorry I would rather take a chance betting on someone else to miss the playoffs however bad the odds are.

If this is just regarding the probability of making the playoffs there isn't much to argue about but being the 1st seed at that time is something entirely different.
