Interesting, in the Foxsports P-rankings issued two weeks ago
the Pistons were slottted as 8th behind the Cavs, Clippers, and Bulls, with the principle reason being that we had lost Ben and had only replaced him Nazr....I guess the additions of Murray and Dupree pushed us back up a few notches:laugh:

I agree with the #5 ranking.

The Heat won't last long at #1. They are a built for the playoffs type squad.

The Suns could be good but Amare hasn't recovered all of his explosiveness yet. Can Marcus Banks run the offense well if Nash takes his usual late season sabattical?

Raptors could be much better than their projections. They have a lot of depth now.

I liked the art. But maybe there should have been only 20 positions, a lot of these teams are equal.

They'll put us up som spots when the season is starting since we have a pretty easy first week. Finally a site that knows that the Bulls are not better than the Pistons.

Those rankings look about right. Two teams I will be hoping have bad seasons are the Bulls and Magic. The Bulls got a good life last year from Ben Gordans shooting streak and Chandlers rebounding. Both players peaked at about the same time. Gordan slowed down and of course they traded Chandler. Other player dev aside its not going to be adding Ben to a .500 team. More like adding Ben to a sub .500 team and a slowing Ben at that.

Miami #1 though? They did win.
