There was little consensus anywhere in the rankings this week. The red-hot Atlanta Hawks received two votes at no. 1, while last week’s top dog, the Boston Celtics, got one vote to remain there. Heck, we could not even agree on which team is the worst. one of the voters, who shall remain nameless, had the new York Knicks at the bottom, despite the fact that the new Jersey Nets remain winless. The only thing we agreed upon is that Miami is the 10th best team right now.

In the tradition of Twitter’s Follow Friday, this week’s rankings present an opportunity for you to join the great global conversation and follow one or more of your favourite teams with handy links to their Twitter feeds. The NBA itself is a voluminous tweeter, as are many of the teams.

And for many Toronto Raptors games this season, you can follow and gab with Post columnist Bruce Arthur (@bruce_arthur) and Post basketball reporter Eric Koreen (@ekoreen). And follow us on Twitter at @npsport.
