14. Portland Trail Blazers: Last year, the Blazers continued their long tradition of being one of the slowest, least-imaginative teams in the NBA. They have their go-to meal, and they keep making it for dinner because it works. It's boring, but effective.

But at least they added a new ingredient last year in Gerald Wallace to spice up the monotony, which is why they're ranked this high. Few players are as fun to watch in the league, because few players play with such reckless abandon. Wallace blocks shots, gets steals and provides some jaw-dropping athletic moves, all as a small forward. He's also athletic enough to play power forward, which means we get to see more interesting small lineups.

After years of just being the same team, Nate McMillan's club now has an X-factor, and as cliche as that sounds, that's enough to make them worth watching.

Last Year...27th..

Nice. This is our year. Well rounded, and semi-deep. This is the year other Teams struggle with Injury, not the Blazers!

OTOH, probably not. ;)

However, it could mean that the Blazers will get on national tv more next season. I'd be down with that.

I imagine you saying this in a sort of Jimmy Walker, "Dyn-O-Mite!" voice ... and I can't stop laughing.
 
We do have a good team but getting to be more watchable doesn't exactly mean a higher ranking if last year we were 27 and made the playoffs. being 14 in this rating doesn't prove much beside being more watchable and being 14 only means we're in the middle watchballing-wise.
