Predict the standings in the East

[DStebb716]

Post your predictions for the final standings in the eastern conference. If I have time in the next few days, I'll try to average out positions and post what the consensus on here appears to be.


Mine:
1. Miami Heat
2. Boston
3. New York
4. Indiana
5. Philadelphia
6. Brooklyn
7. Chicago
8. Milwaukee

Sets up an interesting matchup between Brooklyn and NY in round one.

As a Nets fan, they are by no means a lock for the playoffs. Are people forgetting how mediocre this team was last year? Sure, they definitely improved, but lets not get ahead of ourselves here. I think they'll make the playoffs though.

Both NY teams getting too much hype imo.

1.) Heat 64-18 2.) Celtics 54-28 3.) Pacers 52-30 4.) Knicks 50-32 5.) Nets 47-35 6.) 76ers 44-38 7.) Bulls 43-39 8.) Cavs 41-41

1. Heat
2. Celtics
3. 76ers
4. Hawks
5. Knicks
6. Pacers
7. Bucks
8. Nets

[drizzy0503]

1. Miami Heat
2. Boston Celtics
3. Indiana Pacers
4. New York Knicks
5. Brooklyn Nets
6. Atlanta Hawks
7. Philadelphia 76ers
8. Toronto Raptors

Honestly the 8 seed is wide open. Chicago isn't as deep as they were the past two years, and without any sort of reliable timetable for Rose's return I can't see them making the playoffs. They will battle with Milwaukee and Toronto for the 8th seed IMO.

John Wall and Demar Derozan will have breakout years, I think.

1] Heat
2] Pacers
3] Celtics
4] Knicks
5] 6ers
6] Bulls
7] Nets
8] Hawks

You said no retardation. Why are the Cavs and Raptors over the Hawks?

I saw a statistic on how much easier Joe made the game for Josh Smith. It was something like Joe assisted on 40% of Smiths assisted buckets. And every time Joe wasn't on the court and Josh was, Smiths shooting % went down. Now that Joe won't be there for an entire season, the pressure goes up for Josh Smith. I'm not trusting a team with Josh Smith as you're best player. Jeff Teague is great but he has a bit more to learn.
