What the hell…this isn’t even JUST power rankings. This is CONFERENCE power rankings. We’re the reigning conference champions and were not even top 5 lmao. I get Bucks/Celtics being in front of us honestly, I’ll be nice and say maybe even Philly, but there is NO reason for the Knicks or Cavs to be in front of us. They made basically no moves this offseason to surpass us. We should be top 5 in any power rankings, let alone conference, even disregarding the potential Dame trade.
We literally beat 3 of these teams and beat the team that beat the other 2. This is just pure hater rankings.
You know, normally I think everyone around here overreacts to media narratives too much, especially when it comes to power rankings, but I do have to say this one is utter nonsense.
Is this literally just the standings from the end of last year? Like the seeds?
The knicks, LOL.
Keep in mind it’s probably considering the players we lost and not taking into account that we may get Dame.
I feel like we are a hard team to rank. We were a play-in team that made the finals. We just lost 2 players that were pretty important in getting us there. I don’t think it’s that disrespectful to place us outside of the top 5.
Cavs and sixers lmao. I do think knicks will be good this year again
Shits comical but it is what it is
Is this photoshopped? This can’t be real, can it?
but when I say there’s an anti heat sentiment, mofos will try and gaslight me lol. I think even the biggest Heat haters will call this rankings garbage. Let them cook.
If we had prime MJ, Kareem, Shaq, Steph, and Lebron we will only be ranked 3rd
Miami’s deep playoff runs have been considered lucky for these “sports analysts” for the past 3 years now. I put no faith on these rankings. They largely underestimate the Heat’s potential.
Bucks… lol
We lost a few guys to free agency and don’t have Dame yet. I can see the justification for this but let them sleep
I dont agree with the rankings, but I do understand them. We lost oladipo, strus, and Vincent and gained…. Richardson? On paper we loom worse than last year however JJJ gonna ball out and we’re just waiting in this lillard trade to happen or not and we’ll look much different
Stop trying to make the 76ers happen
1) Bucks, Giannis shown he can’t score in the clutch and is afraid of FTs. Rest of team is old with new coach thats not a veteran
2) Celcucks: Still lack playmaking, KP has not shown to be healthy a full season, still no clutch time offensive consistency
3) Philly: Need I say anything?
4) Knicks: Need scoring outside of Brunson, Randle still there, RJ improved but hasn’t shown consistency
5) Cleveland: Two small guards is feast on defense, two bigs with no offense besides spoonfed dunks is sapping
​
This article is just practically anti Heat bias. We have to show that we can defend the East and we will, but these got Hella weaknesses as I described above.
Anything less than #3 is a crime
Can’t wait to run through these guys in the playoffs again
