How many 50 win teams will come out the East?

[Cali Syndicate]

There were two last season. Pacers and Heat. The best player for the Pacers might not even come back this season and Heat lost their best player.

1. Chicago obviously has a great chance, probably the favorite to win the East. 50 wins should be easily attainable.

2. The talented Cavs bunch led by Lebron, 50 wins very possible.

3. Heat lost Lebron and some role players but picked up some nice pieces to fill in the gaps and still have both Wade and Bosh (will be their best player, 20/10 season coming). I don't see why not?

Possibles -

Knicks, Wizards and Raptors?

I don't think Pacers hit 50.

Definitely more parity in the East now though. Hope everyone stays healthy.

Hawks is healthy. I think they'll get the 4th seed this year behind Cavs, Bulls and Heat, all 50 win teams too.

Cavs, Bulls, Heat, Knicks and maybe Wizards.

Starting 5 looks damn legit. Milsap was a boss pickup.

Hawks to me will be number 7 or worse.

several 50-win teams including the heat.

no championship-level teams though, maybe the cavs.

inb4 another severe overrating of the bulls team... seems the popular thing to do in each of the last 5 preseasons.

Predictions
Cavs- 57 wins
Bulls- 55 wins
Heat- 48 wins
Knicks- 47 wins
Wizards- 50 wins
Raptors- 45+ depends a lot on if the team develops a lot on the the players around Lowry and how they develop especially Jonas and T. Ross off the bench.
