If they still had "practice, not a game, but practice" AI, then I'd agree...

But...

If by win do you mean win the conference and go to the finals? Or just get the first seed? I don't think either has much of a chance at happening, but I'd put the chance of them reaching the finals at something like .00001% and them getting the top seed maybe 5-10%


I just meant regular season record and seedings for the playoffs. I don't think anybody beats Miami in the East, when the playoffs come around. I just don't think Miami will try that hard for the best record. Plus there could be alot of teams angling to avoid the Bulls first round after Rose gets back.

Shoot, I missed them, you are totally right. 4th or 5th seed maybe? That'll put the Bucks out I guess..

Those predictions are quite horrible. Miami 3rd? Barring injuries, no way. The bulls even without rose are a top 5 team

Who is going to score the ball for Philly when they need buckets


They added a bunch of scorers (Richardson, Young and Wright). But I'm thinking Holiday or Turner step up a bit more, with Bynum's scoring coming up a notch as well.

Brooklyn, Boston, Indiana, and the NY Knicks all fall into that category.

Philadelphia, like Miami, matches up with the Bulls really well, other than Rose on Holiday.

Holiday got abused in Game 1 of that series before Rose went down.

I'm not sure Jason Richardson qualifies as a "scorer" anymore.

Maybe one of those guys can even make their own shot.

Not to mention Philly lost probably their best player Iggy.

Stopped reading right here. Even with Rose, they wouldn't be able to stop Miami. Miami is the best team in the East.

Holy Crap, there are some ridiculously bad predictions in this thread. Here's the answer:

1. Miami
2. Boston
3. Chicago
4. Philly
5. Indiana
6. New Jersey
7. New York
8. Cleveland

Alright, I edited the title. I just meant winning the top seed in the east, not who was going to the finals.. I didn't realize it was that confusing..

Washington, Atlanta, and Milwaukee all have a better shot of getting in than Cleveland does.

very possible, top 4 for sure though.....

possible but I think they are top 2 and probably the #1 seed.

Will the bulls fall that far? I dunno about that. Rose will still be out for awhile no?

Rose will miss more than half of the season. I think they are projecting February at the earliest. I just have a hard time putting a team led by Noah and Deng as a top 5 seed.

It might sound strange, but Philly is a different team now. Its a bigger, deeper team than last year and they took the Celtics to the limit then. Who can match their frontcourt (Bynum, Hawes, Moultrie, Brown and Allen)? Nobody in the East...

Boston's like middle of the pack now, toward the end especially without Ray Allen and I definitely wouldn't put the unproven Sixers ahead of the champs at this point.

Well damn! If that was the original title, I wouldn't have even opened the damn thread to begin with. You have serious damn issues man. The Sixers will struggle to break into the top 4. Much less the #1 seed. I don't care if Miami sleeps during the regular season, Boston will be there hungrier than last year. If not Boston, then the Knicks will be doing their best to out do Brooklyn. Hell, the Bulls without Rose, have a better shot at getting the #1 seed than the 76ers. Shitty thread/topic is shitty.
