@Brett Just keep in mind that Hollinger's rankings are all about numbers. So our defense and that big win vs. Orlando have really helped out. Plus a couple of teams who are better than us have had bad games that skew the stats.

@Bryan yeah it is a long season, so yeah they could catch us, but we would really have to fall off for that to happen. We wont be in the top 10 until we have a winning record.

@Bryan That was my thought when I saw it. I triple-checked it to make sure I didn't just read it wrong. Maybe had we pulled out the wins against the lower teams like we should have, but I don't know that we belong in the top 10 until we play more consistently.

Hollinger has us at 9 on his power rankings. Wow.

This year beating utah in our division record should be a goal, the wolves are so far behind at this point I doubt they will catch us.

Bryan :I know that some people are hoping for at least one win out of the next two games and two out of the next three. But to me, I will be happy if all three are competitive and the Thunder come away with at least one win. Miami has been on fire and Orlando will out for revenge at home… I’m thinking Washington game is winnable.

for playoff teams, winning two of the next three would be considered a success - right now, one out of three is realistic for a "success" - hopefully we can get the Washington game . . .

It would be nice if we actually played defense at the start – we have had a sluggish start in almost every game – getting a to a good start on the road is imperative . . .

If wade scores 30+ we will probably lose, thabo/harden need to hold him to under 30, preferably to under 25, he is a slasher so if they can stay in front of him and force him to shoot outside much better chance. Green also needs to outplay beasley, if those 2 things happen its a winnable game.

Let’s hope D-Wade has more points than KD, and that RW gets 10 dimes. Most games we win, KD goes for an efficient 20-25 pts.

But of course, I’d also take an efficient 40 points, as long as we’re playing good D.
