    Damn, you people scare me. I can't believe I'm arguing in this thread, but then I argue just about any stupid thing. :D

    Manny, he said $165k is 110% of $150k. He's right. He never said a 110% increase; he said "110% of".

    Huh?

    Seriously, you are right DoD. I forgot about the "110% of"; I need to brush up on my percentages. I can see how someone can get confused with this, especially considering I was one of the ones confused.

    At my job, I'm used to looking at salaries and calculating what they would be in 5 years using escalation, so I guess that's why I thought of a 110% increase.

    Let's make it a rule to never discuss percents and percentages on this BBS Forum again!;)

    What gives?

    I just was rechecking the rankings and ESPN changed them. Now we're 9th behind the 6ers. No expanation is given to why we moved down. :confused:

    In their current state, this is probably a more accurate position for the Rockets. I don't think they belong as "Other Top Contenders", but I do believe they are better than Philly.

    When I checked last night, ESPN had us 9th. I was wondering why people were talking about us being 8th.

    We have fans that can't calculate percentages : automatic lower seeding. :( ;)

    I think Cato was misquoted. What he REALLY ment was, "Last year I gave 1.0%, this year I'm gonna give 1.1%. "

    Does that mean that earlier we had 112% of the ranking that we have now? :D :D :D

    Someone on the secret email list has forwarded me an email. Apparently oeilpere agrees that $150,000 * 1.1 = $165,000.

    No. Since a minus (lower ranking) parameter is at play, the percentage would be 89% of where we were -- an 11 percent loss.:D :D
