NO RESPECT - Yahoo's Eastern Conference Rankings...

[ALong13]

So upsetting, 14th out of 15th? They have us behing Philly, Milwaukee, Indiana, and NY? And Miami at Number 3? They give us no respect what-so-ever, and it's about time we get some...

He has us at 14th, but calls us his "sleeper." What a cop out. Seriously, if he thinks we suck that bad he should grow a pair and not leave himself an excuse so that later when we make the playoffs, he can tell his friends, "See, I said they could surprise some people! That makes me right! YAY me!"

The writer of that article (Kenny Smith) shoulod stick to being Charles Barkley's sidekick and give up making predictions. His entire top 15 is way out of whack.

[Muttley]

Agreed Ziggy. I enjoy watching The Jet and Barkley (one of my favorite basketball personalities, with the possible exception of Bill "I know some trivia about EVERYTHING" Walton) on TNT, but this is a little off to say the least. I blame his poor schooling.

It's cool though. I hope everyone continues to pan our team. It will only make the wins sweeter.

I wonder what they will do.....

Didn't Steve Kerr do a similar ranking for yahoo last year and have us in the cellar? Same thing is happening again here with Kenny Smith. Guys who only watch the same teams play all the time don't know anything about the rest of the league other than basic roster moves.

Damn Smith the jet is a Carolina guy . Some one paided him to say it that way . Thats why he said we his sleeper at the end . He would never rank us so low on his own.

You mean they have New York Cancers in front of us?

[timang]

preposterous!


well, what's with yahoo anyway. it's like the TV of the internet. :P

Oh come on now that's my main man Kenny the jet Smith, he doesn't know anything about us since he's only seen us play once when we had that TNT game last season and even then he was probably crackin' jokes with Kenny and Charles while the game was going on.
