BBS Power Poll 8/17/05
1- Detroit Pistons | 45-11 | The Pistons seem to be in cruise control for the last 26 games of their schedule.
2- Golden State Warriors | 41-15 | Golden State still has a slight edge of the two games for the top spot Western Conference seeding.
3- Minnesota Timberwolves | 38-16 |- Minny seems to pride itself in its defense and the numbers show it by only allowing 99.6 points a game to opponents.
4- New York Knicks | 33-16 |- NYC may boast arguably the overall depth backcourt in the Eastern Conference with Monta Ellis, Jason Kidd, Ronald Murray, and Carlos Arroyo.
5- Chicago Bulls | 36-14 |- The highest scoring team in BBS continues to roll over teams night in and night out.
6- Seattle Supersonics | 35-19 |- After a recent deal to bring both two superstars in one deal to Emerald City faltered, the Sonics settled on Marion packing to ATL for Nowitiski.
7- Toronto Raptors | 38-17 |- Average age of starters in their prime: 25.8. Can you say longevity of success?
8- Portland Trail Blazers | 35-22 |- Your 2009 BBS MVP resides in Portland in the Big Ticket: Kevin Garnett.
9- Houston Rockets | 34-23 |- Houston’ backcourt averages nearly 4 and ½ steals a game alone.
10- Memphis Grizzlies | 31-25 |- After losing Stromile Swift for the season and Thaddeus Young being out indefinitely, the Grizzlies have survived through their bench.
11- Boston Celtics | 30-22 |- Talk about a bruising frontcourt when you have Carlos Boozer at the 4 and rookie Bill Laimbeer in the middle.
12- Utah Jazz | 26-25 |- You can argue the Jazz are having a bad year since winning it all last year, but they still are inline to make the playoffs.
13- Philadelphia 76ers | 25-24 |- Since resigning guard Andre Iguodala to max contract last off-season, Iguodala has so far failed to lead the team in scoring.
14- Miami Heat | 28-27 |- Quite possibly, the Heat has the best core of young players in the East with Caracter, Howard, Dunleavy, Piertus, and Hinrich.
15- Washington Wizards | 28-30 |- Melo + Starbury’s point production is nearly 50 ppg.
16- Los Angeles Lakers | 27-33 |- Securing the future of Derrick Rose seems to be the top priority for new Tinseltown management this season.
17- Orlando Magic | 26-29| - Can the Magic’s home record (12-13) explains their struggles this season?
18- Atlanta Hawks | 22-29 |- Still have a good array of superstar power in T-Mac, Marion, and Tony Parker.
19- Dallas Mavericks | 22-33 |- Mavs have only won two out of its last 10 games with Knicks, Rockets, and Sonics next.
20- New Jersey Nets | 23-31 |- The Nets seems lottery bound and looking forward to making a splash next year with a large cap number to use.
21- Los Angeles Clippers | 23-34 | - Amare Stoudamire and Steve Francis have been the only bright spots for the Clip show this year.
22- New Orleans Hornets | 19-31 |- The Hornets elder statesman is Keith Van Horn who is a free agent this off-season. NO has plenty of youth, but not enough established talent?
23- Cleveland Cavaliers | 20-33 |- Eric Gordon may be the youngest 20 point scorer in the BBS next to Larry Bird.
24- Milwaukee Bucks | 21-34 | - Magic and Vince are handling guards in the backcourt, but the Bucks may only need one more big scorer at the small forward position.
25- San Antonio Spurs | 19-37 |- Second round pick big man Brian Zoubeck may be due a serious raise this upcoming off-season.
26- Phoenix Suns | 16-38 |- The Godfather may have to use his “connections” to find a better scorer than Reggie Theus.
27- Denver Nuggets | 16-39 |- Since losing Michael Redd to injury, it seem clear the Nuggets were looking forward to the bouncing balls of the lottery.
28- Sacramento Kings | 15-38 |- The Kings have high hopes for their team next season in an effort to resign recently acquired guard JR Giddens and Sean Banks.
29- Indiana Pacers | 14-41 |- Should the Pacers land Kevin McHale in the upcoming draft, he should mesh very well with center Bill Cartwright.
