Blogger Power Rankings: Week 7

by Green17 on Dec 8, 2008 5:26 PM EST

Strong wins against Orlando and the Blazers, two up-and-coming teams, combined with the Lakers loss versus the Pacers has pushed the Champs back to #1 in the weekly Blogger Power Rankings. The dudes at 3 Shades of Blue host this week (a great Grizzlies blog).

If you did not notice though, the Celts are now dominating the top of the Power Rankings.

#1 in the Blogger Power Rankings

#1 in the ESPN Rankings

#1 in the CNN/SI Rankings

#1 in the NBA.com Rankings

#3 in the Hollinger's Funny Math Rankings (no link for Johnny).

While being at the top in early December means absolutely nothing right now, it is nice to see that the Celtics are getting the deserved recognition for their great start.

My votes for the top 3: (1) Celtics, (2) Lebrons, (3) Fakers. After those three teams, I think you can make a reasonable case for a number of combinations of teams and rankings. Pick your own combination of the top three below.

Do you have any choices that don't involve Lakers?

Like it says…I’d go Celts, Cavs, Hornets, myself. I don’t care what the current record is, any team that choked that bad in a back-to-the-wall Finals game doesn’t belong to be mentioned in the same breath as these teams.

Oh wait! Bynum’s Back. Yeah, that’ll make the difference…

Hollinger had us as one of the greatest teams ever last year

and then in the finals, didn’t pick us. Funny math is right. i could be wrong but cleveland looks like the one to worry about to me. Lebron matchup is tough unlike the kobe, pp one. cle is big. And cle doesn’t have gasol and Kobe who both played a ton of games last year and then all summer. I am hoping that a healthy ray makes the cle series easier this year

And as far as my Cle is big comment

Sure LA is tall too but Cle is big and plays big

I’d be very surprised if Danny doesn’t make a move before the deadline for a long big that is tough and can play. We need one more of those, imo.

We could use a better backup SF too, but I don’t think we have the assets (that we’re willing to give up) to get both. Another long big is more important to us.
