Lights Out Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 This Heat squad was partially an ESPN investment (see: "The Decision"), and this is another desperate attempt by them to protect that investment. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Hollinger Power Rankings are out:Miami Heat 5-3Los Angeles Lakers 8-0New Orleans Hornets 7-0Orlando Magic 5-1Boston Celtics 6-2I only listed the Top 5 teams... because I thought the order is rather interesting. Really? What more do the Lakers have to do? How are the Heat's 3 losses better than the Lakers' perfect record? Even with the embarrassing come-from-behind loss to the Jazz...? smhLooks about right to me. Rome wasn't built overnight. Miami's going 79-3, incase y'all didn't know.

DustDevil61 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 The Miami Heat, at one point, led the Utah Jazz by 22 points during the 2nd half.Jazz win by 3 in OT. WTF.EDIT: The Jazz did this with no Al Jefferson & Deron Williams fouled out. HUGE win for the Jazz.Actually, it was only 2. I certainly didn't see things unfolding like that. Everything that could've gone right for the Jazz did go right for the Jazz last night. And people are wondering why you foul the other team when you're down late in the game. It stopped the clock, Wade missed that one crucial free throw, and Paul Millsap got the put-back to send it into overtime. And the rest was history.As a Jazz fan, that game was incredible.Just don't count on the Heat to overlook the Jazz when they come to Salt Lake on December 8.

Seadragon76 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Boy, I guess the collective sucking of the Heat hasn't reached critical mass yet.Still, a 5-3 team has no business being on top of any power ranking unless everyone else sucks. Oh, and one of those unbeatens beat the Heat. Yeah... All it is about is the media collectively sucking Miami's . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was kind of the point I was making. Not only that, both New Orleans and Boston beat Miami, yet are ranked farther down the list. It just seems completely biased. Oh well, I just thought it was interesting and wanted to see what the rest of you thought.

TFoA Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 The Jazz did it again, this time against the Magic. They came back from 18 down in the 2nd half to beat Orlando.Maybe the Jazz are hot, maybe they're for real. Who knows, it's November. I'm leaning towards for real. Still probably won't beat the Lakers, but eh. It's November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DustDevil61 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Maybe Hollinger didn't want to put the Heat on top--maybe ESPN made him put it there. Hey, if someone at ESPN could say that Keith Olbermann (who I don't like either) has too much backbone (and not in the sense that Keith has an extra vertebrae), then maybe they can determine the power rankings for one John Hollinger.If this theory's true, then ESPN is bordering on the magnitude of Montgomery Burns when it comes to hiring only spineless "yes-men" (and "yes-women").

PurpleRush Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Celts beatng the Heat again. Guessing 5-4 for Miami, with a blown 18 point lead game against Utah, will have to settle for #2 next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
