We’re still scratching our heads over the rankings from Sports Illustrated. They’re the only ones who still have the Clippers ranked higher than 10th, the only one with the Wizards in the top 10 and the Suns not in the top 10. Losing Amare for the season is a big problem but the Suns still belong in the top 10.
