What a joke this guy is...

An 11 game win streak should, along with our record, should put us at least at #3. A win against the Spurs tomorrow night should put us at #1.

The Mavs record against us is irrelevant. If a person writes a Power Rankings article that is based on total records, then why do a weekly Power Ranking at all?

The point of a Power Ranking is to gauge who the best teams are in a particular week. The Mavs lost 2 games in the last week--one of which was to Phoenix, who was perfect last week.

That in itself, and taking the original intent of a "Power Ranking", should put us above them. Because THIS WEEK, we have been, and PROVEN, mind you, that we have been a better team. Next week might be different, but that is for the next installment.

Well, you've got a good point. Mavs did lose to Spurs and Suns so it's only natural to put them behind those two teams. But the excuse of injuries is really lame... it's like we don't suffer any injuries at all.

They Guy at NBA.com has his new rankings and I do not agree with these either.

NBA.com Power Rankings:

By Jeff Dengate

Mar. 8, 2006 -- Welcome to NBA.com's 19th Power Rankings of 2005-06, which come out every Wednesday this season. Please note that these rankings are the view of one humble NBA.com Features Editor and are not "official" rankings. Have a comment? Let us know. If you fear change, these might not be the rankings for you. That's because a big shakeup is in order. For the first time in 2005-06, a team not named the Mavericks, Pistons or Spurs holds down the top spot in the rankings. In fact, the trio's stranglehold on the rankings top positions has been so constant that we've only had two teams (the Sixers on Nov. 16 and the Grizzlies on Dec. 7) sneak into spots No. 1, 2 or 3. This week, we're doubling that number.
Now, on to the rankings...
High jump of the week: Cleveland and Denver (+4)
Free fall of the week: New Jersey (-6)

TEAM (LAST WK) REC. BREAKDOWN 1

Phoenix (4) 42-17 Sure, the Suns have gotten along just fine without Amare, but how will they fare if Nash sits after tweaking an ankle Monday? If they slip this week, they slip here next week.
2

San Antonio (3) 47-13 Tied with Dallas for the Southwest lead, the Spurs could take over our top spot with a win tonight over Phoenix.

Miami (5) 39-20 If you're going to rest a sprained wrist, games vs. Hawks and Bobcats seem like safe choices. Watch for Wade to return with games vs. Wizards, Warriors, Cavs and Jazz this week.

Detroit (1) 48-11 How to separate yourself in the quest for the league's best record? Well, six of seven games vs. teams with losing records can't hurt.

Dallas (2) 47-13 A week ago, it was plausible to envision the Mavs getting past the West's elite. Losses to Spurs and Suns, though, have made us re-think that.
6

Cleveland (10) 35-26 LeBron had led the Cavs in scoring in 23 straight games. That didn't happen Tuesday, but No. 23 and the Cavs got the W anyway and look to be back on track to make the playoffs.
7

Indiana (8) 30-27 The Pacers have three straight roadies this week. Despite winning three of its last four away from Conseco, Indy is still only 12-17 on the road this season.

L.A. Clippers (9) 34-25 You hold the Hornets to 16 second-half points and beat San Antonio, you have to move up. So, yeah, we're going to overlook those losses to the Jazz and Grizz.

Did not know the Suns were playing the Spurs tonight? Pretty sure its tommorow night unlike above article/rankings.
