We are list as the 23rd best team in the league?Do

you guys think we are overrating our team?

I agree with him for the most part but...

1)I think Detroit's last years SUCCESS was a fluke.. all the players were healthy, they were building confidence, etc... i dont see them being as strong as last year, but hey thats just me.

2)T-Wolves are imo a 6th-8th seed team in the WEST. Garnett cant do it all and hes the only star on the team.

3)76ers are lower than 12

4)Jazz would be lucky to get the 8th seed

5)Knicks are on the decline... we should be rated higher than the KNICKS!

I think at worse we are in the 20... best case, top 15 (looking at just ROSTER).

No!!!!!!! I think the press will continue to underrate the team until they are forced to recognize the improvements in personnel. A 23rd ranking by both CBS and the Sporting News. I think they are scared to rank us higher because of our injury problems of the past two seasons. Based upon the addition of Big Dog and a healthy Theo I personally would place this team in the middle of the pact, anywhere from 16th to 18th.
