Last week was midterm week at DHS and the student body was hunkering down in their rooms pretending to study to obtain their parents’ approval. Despite the diligent studying that was taking place last week, there is one interruption that no one questions: House Basketball. Below, you will find the (more often than not) biased week eight 9/10 rankings.
1. Cavaliers W (34-24)
As expected, the Cavaliers took down the Wizards on Sunday by ten points. There really is not much to write when everyone knows the immense talent that is present on the Cavs. Congrats?
2. Wizards L (24-34)
The wizards lost to the Cavaliers by ten points, and frankly, the only reason they are so high up in the rankings, is because they have the second-best record in the league. Their past two performances certainly are not second place worthy.
3. Nets W (41-34)
The Nets are placed higher than the Knicks because they beat a better team by more points this Sunday. The Knicks played the 76ers who are by default, less-than-par, while the Nets played the Raptors who are quite the valiant team.
4. Knicks W (45-41)
The Knicks took down the 76ers by 4 points. The Knicks have suffered three losses so far this season and in two of those losses the Skolds twins were absent. They are placed higher than the Pacers because the Knicks did not start off the season with a 0-3 record.
5. Pacers W (48-21)
The Pacers were destined for another win this week when they were put up against the Bobcats, whose only win was against the weak “Skolds-less” Knicks. No top scorers have been identified, but it is assumed by this reporter that Brad Magnusson and Connor Davey led the team.
6. Bulls W (42-35)
The Bulls are often in a tough situation on Sundays when one of their key players cannot make the game due to prior conflicts. The team pulled it together this weekend when they shot down the Heat, broke a player’s ankle, and kept the opposing team to 35 points. Well done.
7. Raptors L (34-41)
The Raptors suffered a tough loss on Sunday against the evenly matched Nets. Both teams have a pretty even spread of skill and athleticism and at the end of the day; it was just a matter of who wanted the “W” more.
8. Celtics W (36-30)
The Celtics went up against the weak Bucks on Sunday and barely squeezed out a win by 6 points (the last point was a buzzer beater layup by Brendan Donohue which really was a cheap shot because… this explanation has gone on too long.)
9. Heat L (35-42)
The Heat deserves the spot in front of the 76ers for the simple reason that they have more talent. When the Heat does lose, it is by a small margin, unlike the 76ers. Bottom line, the rankings are up to me, and I like the Heat more.
10. 76ers L (41-45)
The 76ers took a tough loss against the Knicks on Sunday in the 12 o’clock shift. The reason the 76ers are so low in the rankings is because once they show some sign of losing they give up. And by “give up” I mean knee kids as they go up for layups and heave up overshot threes.
11. Bucks L (30-36)
The Bucks took another tough loss on Sunday against the Celtics due to the absence of Brian Davey. Bottom line is they are better than the Bobcats.
12. Bobcats L (21-48)
Sure, the Bobcats obliterated the Knicks (without the Skolds) but a loss to the Pacers by nearly thirty points is embarrassing. The reason the ‘cats are below the Bucks is because I said so.
