Funny how SI doesn't have either the Magic or the Rockets on the top ten. Gotto love it
Yet the struggling Lakers and some teams with sorse records are in

How about this, J-Mezzy: swap ORL for LAL in all the rankings. I really don't mind.

And then, when we get Pau back this week, we can be an underdog!

Meh, these guys make a big deal about the Jazz's road woes vs bad teams. I for one can care less about those if it wasn't for home court advantage. As long as the Jazz can get home court vs the Spurs, that's all I care, and maybe the Lakers.

I think they're making a big deal because you guys are losing to teams like Minnesota on the road and beating teams that are really good at home.

Seems like it's the opposite for you.

Yeah but we've beat many good teams on their home courts. The Jazz are like .545 if you exclude the pitiful December the Jazz had (I believe it was 1-8 on the road), which probably happened because of trade rumors effecting players' performance. They really are not as bad on the road as their record indicates, at least not against the best teams.

maybe so, but there is no doubt that they are the best.

I agree with the Celtics being the best team, but I think that they disrespect Lebron by not having the Cavs in the top ten. I know that they are struggling as of late but put Lebron in the playoffs and watch out. No one wants to face Lebron in the playoffs ask Detroit last year. He is a man on a mission in the playoffs

People keep saying wait for Lebron in the playoffs. You do know he's having an amazing regular season? If he could do more now in the regular season, I imagine he would. I think with the current Cavs, what you see is what you are going to get in the playoffs.
