In Power Rankings, a Difference of Opinion

PrintJohn Schuhmann of NBA.com thinks the Nets may have taken a step forward against the Magic, even if they lost, and as a result moved them up two steps in his power rankings to #22. That's two steps ahead of the careening Knicks as well. Not so Marc Stein of ESPN. He has the Nets at #25, no movement, and the Knicks at #23, a six place drop.
Schuhmann adds that the Nets could be helped by some production from Troy Murphy who he notes has only scored 22 points in five games. For Stein, the big issue remains Lopez who despite his 23 point effort vs. Dwight Howard needs to be "Job 1 for Jersey at the minute".
They also disagree on whether Monday night's opponent, the Clippers, are the worst team in the NBA right now. Schuhmann says yes, Stein thinks it's the Wizards.

Gilbert had the killer instinct he hasn’t showed for years last game. Even though they lost(and he came off the bench) he looked like he was ready to take games over again, for that alone I consider them second worst, therefor looks like we will be playing the worst team tonight.

I know Murphy was hurt all camp...however....
How long do we keep playing him big minutes if he isn’t producing? And if we aren’t playing him big minutes can we move him and his expiring contract? I know its only been 9 games and I always preach patience. I just want to know what you guys think the next move should be. Because as of right now if we play him big minutes we are saying to Humps and Favors “Listen, we know YOUR producing for us, but we are going with what he has done in his past, and the hopes he’s going to put it together.” I just think that is a bad move.

to be totally honest Favors cant play big minutes…not right now anyway.. He’d foul out by the third quarter….Hump is great this year but has no outside shot (not like Murph) so I say let Murph play and if he’s not doing well sub him… Hes a proven player and eventually will be comfortable with his role in the team and will become consistent once again…like you said its only been 9 games…
How are the Knicks rated ahead of the Nets?

What bottom?
Last time I checked we were in second place in the Atlantic, right behind Boston !

According to Marc Stein
Power rankings…the Nets are 25th. Hey, it’s ESPN, they never give the Nets any love.

Interesting you picked out the Knicks, even though the 2-8 Raptors are the team directly above us, and for sure have no business there. At least the Knicks you can make some sort of argument for. Why are the Raptors there? Why!?
