I'm just not sure who will take that last spot in the playoffs in the East. It's probably going to be some crappy team that makes it on the last day of the regular season and then gets killed in the first round. That's why I'm not a huge fan of the race to the number 8 spot. In the end, it usually doesn't matter!Mr. Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517562421106963567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530988794797203013.post-65254119506931921912010-08-25T11:38:34.481-06:002010-08-25T11:38:34.481-06:00I have things to say about the 2 latest articles. ...I have things to say about the 2 latest articles.

Like T-Wah I agree with most of your predictions/rankings, but just found a few minor things that I disagree with. The biggest one is Indiana. Collison is good, but I really don't see them making the playoffs. I'd probably put the Knicks and the Bobcats into the last two spots in the east, but only because everyone else sucks more than them, not because they're any good in and of themselves. Obviously from my article I would put the Raps lower, but unlike espn.com I don't think they'll be the worst in the east. They'll be close to it, but not the worst. I also think that you may have overestimated the Spurs (still a playoff team, but near the bottom) and underestimated the Thunder (I would put them just behind Dallas and right before Utah). I know these are pretty small details, especially in the West, where I see another super close race to the playoffs. Otherwise, nice work.Mr. Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517562421106963567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530988794797203013.post-64783375719169203092010-08-21T12:16:25.777-06:002010-08-21T12:16:25.777-06:00Good story, good column, good start to Ranking the...Good story, good column, good start to Ranking the Powers. Predicting how 30 separate entities will interact with each other is a super hard thing to do. There's not much, if anything, that I disagree with. Ummm...maybe Sacramento will be better than 25th with a top draft pick and reigning ROY on the team. And maybe the Wiz' will turn it on more than predicted with Wall? I feel like everything was placed very accurately. I could see the T'Wolves breaking the record for least wins in the season...what a joke. I look forward to future Regent Rankings of Power.T-Wahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11155455233929296156noreply@blogger.com
