Vince Carter continues to make the Raptors pay, as he may now be the most hated man in Canada.

18. Philadelphia 76ers (7-9) (19) The problem with this team is simple. Brand can't shake double teams as long as the Sixers remain a mediocre perimeter-shooting team.

19. Chicago Bulls (7-9) (22) Rose's peers are already calling him the best finishing PG in the league. Wait till he gets a jumper!

20. New York Knicks (7-8) (18) Somewhere, in the VIP of the 40-40 club, Steph and Isiah are blowing all the money they embezzled from the Knicks on champagne and strippers.

21. Indiana Pacers (6-9) (17) Blowing big leads has been the biggest source of the Pacers' latest slump.

22. Milwaukee Bucks (7-11) (25) If they lose Bogut for any extended period, they'll be well on their way back to lotto-land.

23. Golden State Warriors (5-11) (20) Crawford is making Azubuike and Morrow useless fantasy options.

24. Charlotte Bobcats (5-10) (26) When you sink your entire budget into role players like Okafor and Wallace, this is the product you get.

25. Minnesota Timberwolves (4-10) (27) Remember a couple years ago when a lot of draft "experts" thought Foye would be another Dwayne Wade? Well that's not happening and McHale's looking like more of a fool for giving up Brandon Roy to get him.

26. Sacramento Kings (5-13) (24) The Maloofs would have sold the team five years ago if you told them now that John Salmons would be their second best player.

27. Memphis Grizzlies (4-12) (23) OJ Mayo is a scoring machine, as his six 25+ point games in the month of November (that's two off from MJ's record of eight) suggest.

28. Washington Wizards (2-11) (28) Eddie should not have to take the blame. Grunfeld should be held accountable for blowing half the budget on Arenas, a pseudo-PG with a bad knee.

29. Los Angeles Clippers (2-13) (29) How in the world does Randolph make sense on a team that has the Kaman-Camby logjam to deal with already? Is Dunlevy sending Sterling dirty pictures? I have no idea how he became the NBA's only coach/GM.

30. Oklahoma City Thunder (1-16) (30) At least firing PJ was the right move. It was only a matter of time before Durant went Sprewell on him.
