Links: The Dirty Thirty Returns!

It’s ba-ack…

by Lang Whitaker

When Ryne came on board here at SLAM, we talked about a bunch of ideas for the site. One of which was power rankings, which were originally done by Sam and were called The Dirty Thirty. I told Ryne I wanted to pick up the power rankings, and so…this. Here we are. And the plan is to update this bad boy once a week, probably on Tuesdays.

I’m basing these rankings on evidence neither scientific nor empiric. No, these rankings are based solely on my own sense and sensibility. (Word to Jane Austen!) I know there will be some anomalies as we surge ahead, but I make no excuses. (Unless I make an excuse.)

Until then…let’s get Dirty…
[TABLE=27]

    Suns will be 4-1 and I expect them to be in the top 5 for the rest of the year after next week.

    I NEED YOU ALL TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE SUNS FG%….
    75% midway through the 3rd quarter…THIS IS THE TEAM.

    W.O.W. Cnn just debuted live holograph tech on their “situation room” show and it didn’t look corny at all. Strangely enough it had the “dead Jedi aura” (recognize) glow around the person talking, odd. But still soooo cool. Finally, next step, Nba ball in 3d holographs in my living room. Please lord, make this happen in my lifetime??

    @Darksaber: I loved the hologram.

  • http://www.lkz.ch Darksaber

    You bet Lang. They even used it on Will.i.am later on in the show when that slick rick of CNN (Anderson Cooper) interviewed him via Hologram (well, THAT’S a new way to announce an interview, eh?) from Chicago. Poor Will looked like a long lost cousin of Greedo (Star Wars freaks know…) Tech is coooool though, and even very high Def.

    DAMN, yet another hate sentence from Gaz to good old Bet. Gotta be the 4th or fifth i’ve read in here, that stuff is deeply rooted. Love the consistency, playa.

    Important fact about the Dirty 30: One of my inspirations for the name was when some woman on a reality show said “I’m 30, I’m flirty, and I’m dirty dirty.” Also, Holly had the Bulls way down there last season and people got all angry at her cause the Bulls were supposed to be one of the best teams in the East. See for yourself: http://slamonline.com/online/nba/2007/09/the-first-dirty-30-of-the-nba-season/
    Did they apologize later on? Doubt it. Remember that just in case the Pistons collapse this year. Just in case.

    … you watch Reality TV shows, Sam?

    Sam, thanks for pointing that out…I think Russ still needs to hold true to his promise to eat his Brent Barry replica Clips jersey.

    Is that line about the Pistons giving up on this year, an inside joke I don’t get?

    Hawks. 3-0. Three wins against Playoff teams from last year. A road win in Orlando. A home win against Philly (from down 23 points). A road win against New Orleans. Good night.

    Hawks beat the Hornets! What is going on?
    PS- Joe Johnson is the truth/beast. No, Im not a bandwagon type supporter of him- 05 Suns. Recognise.

      The team discussed security and transportation issues with the Secretary of Homeland Security and local police jurisdictions.Authorities say as many as 3 million people could flood the National Mall for the event. Meanwhile, Barack Obama has picked the Bible that will be used to swear him into office. The former Illinois Senator will use the same Holy Book Abraham Lincoln used at his inauguration in 1861. Obama will be………..
