Sporting News NBA Power Poll

Recommended Posts

From the latest Glass Half Full:

 

Sean Deveney of The Sporting News recently came out with his NBA Power Poll for 2011-12. The Magic, as warranted, are very much in the mix. His rankings below:

 

1. MIAMI. This year’s Finals trip could be the first of many to come.

 

2. CHICAGO. Derrick Rose won the MVP, but the playoffs showed he needs work.

 

3. OKLAHOMA CITY. The Thunder hung tough and made it to the conference finals, a big step forward.

 

4. DALLAS. The Mavs aren’t getting any younger, but they’re still deep and talented.

 

5. L.A. LAKERS. Job No. 1 for Mike Brown is to make sure Kobe Bryant is on board.

 

6. ORLANDO. With Dwight Howard a free agent-to-be, it’s a pivotal year.

Too many people sleeping on Boston. I still feel C's beat Miami if Wade doesn't go "Tonya Harding" on Rondo.

 

No they don't. They lost the first 2 games with a very healthy Rondo.

This poll doesn't make any sense to me. How are the Magic 5th on this poll after a first round exit to the Hawks? Shouldn't the Hawks be ahead of them?

Yet another season of teams "under achieving" because writers can't take the cognitive dissonance caused by their idiotic predictions.

 

And no, I am not saying that because the Magic are ranked 6th.

Maybe it's a relative history poll. With Dwight, the Magic are more likely to be a contending team than Atlanta. We have more resources (Cash) to improve our team whereas Atlanta probably maxed out.

 

That's the only rationale i can think of to explain this.
