tuq,
Haha, it wasn't the team that didn't even make the page on the Sagarin page you posted--quality win.

While I appreciate your laudable attempt to troll me, the post was partly made so Clarkmeister would see it, and partly because even my dumb no-knowing Eastern Conference ass asked before the season what all the hype was about Chicago (unfortunately I don't keep a link to my predictions on my desktop like bobo does so you'll just have to take my word for it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]). Who knows, they could still rally to 55-60 wins and a title, but they are a mess and unlike Dallas last year they don't seem to have the personnel nor leadership to make that kind of a run. The Kobe thing may be distracting too, dunno.
That said, the win against such a crappy team actually did drop them out of the top ten. So your comment was supposed to be hurtful but it was also fair. I know they take a couple of months to settle out but I do like the Sagarin rankings:
