Power Rankings: Nets Down Again
It's been a while since the Nets rose above #20 in the Power Rankings, maybe in early 2008-09 when Devin Harris and Vince Carter were dropping 30 points on alternate nights. Not since. Not that we can recall. And with fans fearing the worst (12-70 worst) and Deron Williams unable to sleep, it's...
Power Rankings: No Change
The Nets last week featured a win over the Celtics and a loss to the Wizards so it is indeed fitting that they stay exactly where they were at the beginning of the week...in all four power rankings.John Schuhmann captures Net fans' mood swings: "The Nets capped a five-game streak with a big win...
Power Rankings: The D-Will Effect
The Nets have lost five straight, including two games with Deron Williams at the point. Not a problem. Marc Stein moves the Nets up four places to #23, while John Schuhmann keeps them at #25. Stein remarks, "They know there's a long way to go before D-Will warms to the idea of Brooklyn. Yet as...
Power Rankings: Two Wins Move the Needle...Down
The Nets won two out of three last week, including a nice win over the Hornets and a road win over the Bobcats but their loss at home to the Amare-less Knicks hurt them...or maybe it's just the anticipation of how they will do against the best teams in the West and East this week. John Schuhmann...
Power Rankings: Losses Don't Move Nets Much
"Muddling along" might be a good way to describe the Nets right now. They never get bad enough to make you think all is lost, but never get good enough to give you hope. For every win over the Jazz or Nuggets, there are two losses to the Pacers. Seems the power ranking pundits are of the same...
Power Rankings: Sinking Feeling
If you needed one more indication of how bad things are (really, you don't), the power ranking pundits have one for you. The Nets are headed for the bottom of the barrel, with two of the four top pundits dropping them to #29, their worst showing since late last season when you may recall they won...
Power Rankings: Short Shelf Life Edition
In the next few days (or weeks), as many as 14 NBA players will board planes for new destinations (or not), shuffling the power structure of three teams (or none). So John Schuhmann, Marc Stein, et al have a tough job sorting out who will be where in the power rankings. Ranking the Nets' current...
I Have the Power! Week 10 Power Rankings
The Thunder finished their last ten above .500, but just barely. With a tough stretch in January coming up, they will need to address their inconsistency, especially in back-to-back games. From Around the NBA: SOURCE RANKING (last) COMMENT SB Nation 11 (12) A game out of 1st in the...
Power Rankings: Wins Don't Move the Needle
The Nets beat the Hawks and Grizzlies last week, but they remain stuck in the 24/25 slot in all the major power rankings. Call it waiting for 'Melo, writes Marc Stein. A good performance vs. New Orleans would have helped. John Schuhmann writes, "The Nets' six-game stretch of good defense (94.4...
Power Rankings: ''Double D" Wins
That would be the combination of Devin Harris and DEE-Fense. As John Schuhmann and Marc Stein point out, if the Nets are going to win anything, they're will have to rely on both unless of course they get a Christmas present from Denver. The Nets won two games this week, so they moved up a little,...
