If you think they are better than Washington, then yes. Now that I think about it, the SE division had 4 teams in the playoffs last year.

I had to go back and look at my list, but i have bulls cavs Miami Atlanta in that order.

I think Charlotte is hard to place, but I suspect Atlanta and Charlotte to battle 4th seed.

While I like the wiz team, they are a little over hyped IMO. I think they will miss ariza a bit.

Doing the west list is really tough I must say...

Wow some of you are delusional if you don't think Houston will atleast be a 7th or 8th seed

Lost - Parsons, Lin, Asik
Added - Trevor Ariza, Alonzo Gee, Jeff Adrien, Joey Dorsey, Ish Smith, a projected pick from the pelicans, Nick Johnson (Draft) and Clint Capela (Draft)

Yeah he got worse but not significantly. I still think we can win 48-50+ games. Most of our current young guys like Terrence Jones and D-Mo will improve. Also we're in talks with Shawn Marion so If we can actually bring him over, he could really help the team.

Fixed.

You're delusional if you think Houston making the playoffs is a lock. You lost 3 out of your 6 most important pieces and added garbage to your roster + Trevor "contract year" Ariza.

Lost a starter and two most important bench players. Ariza should replace most of what Parsons gave, but still likely a step in the wrong direction. Lots of new pieces in a conference where a couple games could be the difference between 7th and 10th place.

I still think they make it, but an injury that knocks Dwight (or even Pat Bev, Ariza, ect) out for a few weeks and you could be on the outside wondering wtf happened. The Suns would of been the 3 seed in the east last season, and they didn't even make the Playoffs in the west. West ain't a joke man, every game counts.

Heck I've got Memphis missing the Playoffs in my prediction. They are probably good enough to be like the 5 seed.

Not that much :lol sad part is I thought "Indiana Pacer" was clever because I thought I was making a play on the name "Indiana Jones" :facepalm :facepalm

And oops, my bad. I'd put them 4th and bump everyone one down, I guess. 8 would be a fight between 2-3 teams though IMO

Indiana dropping out in the Least? Knicks at #10?


Dallas made some really solid additions and I think enough to significantly improve the team. Dallas has shown to be a good team when chandler was there before too...

I feel that warriors will appreciate the coaching change, paying more attention to player accountability and running actual plays on the floor and not just video game style.

Clippers will be right there, don't get me wrong there are 4 teams that should finish within 3 games of each other easily. I think the clippers and and Portland are close together for wins.

Memphis will be just a victim of More talented teams leapfrogging them, but they will likely be battling for 8th spot like last year.

Knicks are being overtaken by more talented teams on the rise. Knicks are still stuck with dead weights.

Indiana lost a really important player. Lance was the lifeblood of their offense. They will lack any kind of offensive creativity, which should cause a drop in the standings...

Seems like the majority is Knicks at #10.
