Rankings...I know they don't matter, but...

I just took a gander at ESPN's NBA Power Rankings.  I know they are totally made up just to get the knuckleheads that comment over at ESPN.com to rack up the hits.  That being said I was wondering, where would I rank the Spurs at this point in the season?    Tim C. did a bang up job of giving the Spurs a first semester grade here and I think he was on for the most part.

ESPN has the Spurs ranked 11th overall in the NBA.  Teams like Utah, Denver and Houston are ranked ahead of them.  I don't think that I really have a problem with the Spurs ranking at 11th.   I think that 1/4 of the way through the season that this team is fine.  Could they be playing better?  For sure, but I'd much rather be ranked 11th and have a 12-9 record now then be dinged up and exhausted later in the year.

This is what they play for in San Antonio, not for ESPN's approval

So, knowing what you know and being biased Spurs fans, where would you rank this squad at this point in the year?  I think 10-12 is fair and I think it's fine to be there.  As I have mentioned before, things will look better soon.  Not only because the team will gel, but the schedule is a little lighter and will make winning a bit easier.  Winning, even against bad teams, builds confidence and when this team is confident...look out ESPN, you might be heading to SA for a few days in the late spring.

Fist pumping the Spurs to victory
