Looks about right. I wouldn't have Miami so low though.

Boston and Detroit won't finish that high. Washington - OUT. KnIck - IN.

Didn't you hear? The Knicks are the other super team in the league.

4-10 is a toss up. Nobody saw Washington being as bad as they were last season. Same with Milwaukee. Milwaukee could just as easily end up as 6 seed as they can a 10 seed.

I picked Indianna to finish second mostly because everybody will pick Boston

I truly do believe though Myles Turner and PG13 with the other additions to the team can make some noise. I'm not sure how they'll hold up defensively. Detroit has potential. They showed against Cleveland that they're a scrappy team ready for the spotlight. They played Cleveland really close considering they were an 8 seed. I think most on here had Cleveland rolling Detroit over by 20 every game.

I'm a big fan of Atlanta but not really sure where to put them. They could be a 2. The only safe picks are Cleveland at the 1 and Boston to finish in the top 3. What a mess.

Whoever LBJ Plays for.
Then the rest. It's a trend. Poor east. He will retire one day.

I dont see Knicks, Bulls, and Bucks all missing. In fact id say two of those 3 will be in, not sure which two though.

I was thinking about this at work today. If you started following basketball in 2011, the only team that has come out of the east has had LeBron. And unless somebody like Westbrook (or similar caliber player) bolts to play with PG, Drummond, or the Celtics, odds say LeBron will represent the East the next 3 years too.

East is improving IMO. There are 4 western teams who would finish below Orlando IMO. Only ahead of Philly and Brooklyn.

Same. I really don't buy the Knicks hype. Poor Porzingas. Knicks should deal him to DAL for Dirk to solidify their 2011 Championship claim.

if MIL gets 2nd half fully healthy Jabari Parker : 19ppg 6 reb 50% from field with a new and improved 3 pt stroke (32%)

and 2nd half Giannis 18/8/7

young team that had a ton of trouble on the road. If this duo plays like they did in the 2nd half and continue to grow they will see a big spike in wins.
