... In their new Power Rankings, Inside Hoops puts the Celtics at #9 behind the Spurs, Suns, Mavs, Jazz, Rockets, Cavs, Bulls and Pistons. We were at 29 in their last rankings so I guess a leap of 20 spots is a good thing. Boston Celtics (24-58) - The previous InsideHoops.com power ranking from two months ago for the Celtics was 29.

I used to love ‘em, but now they’re starting to get on my nerves. Yeah, I’m talking about Power Rankings - the insight that everybody feels they have to give in order to gain some credibility.
NBA.com has their view, ESPN has theirs, Inside Hoops has another, Sporting News experts give another take, DIME Magazine dish out their thoughts, and so on. Everybody seems that it’s worth taking the time to rank the teams from top to bottom even though every expert knows that their ranking means absolutely ...

HoopsWorld.com - 5th - The impressive Mavs get tested by Texas this week with the Rockets visiting on Tuesday - followed by a trek to San Antonio the following night. The four-seed seemed like a best case for Dallas this season but the West may be more open than originally thought. - I like the optimism here. Will Duncan and Tony make it back from their ankle injuries by Wednesday?
