Rankings Continued

#15 L.A. Clippers – I don’t mind the Clip Joint, but they certainly are not better than the Cavs. This team is 7-15 on the road, and in the Wild Wild West, they will turn out to be nothing more than a .500 team (Try starting Corey Maggette.. itmay help). EDGE: Cavs.
#14 Miami Heat – This is just completely mind-boggling that they put this miserable team ahead of the Cavs (Yes, I know they just beat the Cavs less than a week ago). The Heat are three games below .500 and have a bunch of has been NBA players (i.e. Shaq, Walker, Payton, Zo, Doleac, Eddie Jones, etc.) who are not good, and rely solely on D-Wade. I understand that they are the defending NBA champs and D-Wade is a superstar but we cannot keep reliving the past. Wake up and realize that this team is BAD and earns my award for “King Nick’s least favorite NBA team.” P.S. They start Jason Kapono! EDGE: Cavs.
#12 Indiana Pacers – NOOOO! Why is this happening?! The Pacers traded away all of their thugs for slow white dudes and now boast a lineup consisting of Troy Murphy, Mike Dunleavy, and Jeff Foster. This has first round playoff loss written all over it. You will never convince me this team is better than the Cavs (Unless of course we're talking about their collective GPA's). EDGE: Cavs.
#8 Toronto Raptors – This is my all-time favorite, the Toronto Raptors ranked 8th in the league. 8th! I understand Chris Bosh and the "All-Terrorist" team are much improved but are you serious? This team is barely over .500 and is 9-16 on the road! I can’t even pronounce half their player's names, and I’m vomiting on the computer screen right now thinking about this ranking. EDGE: Cavs.
ANALYSIS: Don’t get me wrong, the Cavs have underachieved all year and have been disappointing to say the least. But the fact that these five teams would ever be ranked ahead of this Cavs team is absolutely putrid. There is no reason the wine and gold should not be in the Top 10 in any Power Rankings in the country (Well, unless Lebron James keeps playing like Rick James). These are the absolute worst power rankings I’ve ever seen, and Marc Stein’s aren’t much better, but let's leave that argument for another cold winter day. John Hollinger should be slapped across the face, and I’m convinced he’s blowing the ESPN execs as we speak. Maybe this entire debacle can be placed on his "Secret Formula" for acquiring the rankings, which primarily consists of unconventional permutations and the recreational use of acid and heroin.
