Boston still beats Orlando to face Miami in the ECF but Miami wins series 4-2.

I think the standings are about right. I dont think Chi is that good. I have said the Knicks should be a 45 win team with a chance to be better.

Its going to be very interesting as we ended up with some guys on the team that have been coveted by various posters over the years.

If I were evaluating the Knicks and wasnt a fan of the team I would say they are going to be pretty good. Good defensive PG and solid floor general, all star bigman, good bench, shooters to stretch the D, and talented up and coming rotation guys. Some question marks with guys coming off injuries. A coach who has had some success in the league. 45 wins. Low side 42, high side 48

I think Washington is the dark horse team.

Its a long season and injuries always factor in.

NOt sure Indy is a playoff caliber team yet.

How the season starts is not how it finishes.

Knicks have a learning curve ahead of them and we have to be patient. Few will.

THis team starts very different with new players and Utes with bigger roles than before.

Mike Redd is a big piece if he returns to form. Him and salmons proven themselves where our guys have yet to step up to that level. I say "YET" with expectations that they will.

No games been played yet, or have I missed somthing?

1. Orlando - 60+ wins
2. Boston - 55 wins
3. Miami - 52 wins
4. Chicago - 50 wins
5. Knicks - 49 wins
6. Charlotte - 45 wins
7. Washington - 42 wins
8. Atlanta - 41 wins

wow. hate's made you blind. they are gonna kick some butt like nobody's business. we gotta meet up offline and put some cabbage down on that prediction.

Yeah, I'm with Marv on this one. Ledouche won 60 games last year with a bunch of scrubs. He ain't going to win that many
with 2 superstars? Come on, son.

Ok, maybe 1 superstar and that all-star fool, Bosh.

I know it looks like my hate is clouding my judgement..(maybe ) but the team dynamics is totally different. Wade is an alpha dog same with LeDouche, they will take time to adjust and LeArseHole egocentric ways will cost them more than a couple of games. Everybody says injuries will weaken them. I disagree, I think having any of them go down will actually help their team dynamics. They also have a BIG bullseye every game. Every team will want to prove something and will go balls out to beat them. Wade and LeCrap is as close to Jordan/Pippen but Bosh is no Rodman. He is not even a Horace Grant.

Just in case, I will contact a mangkukulam in the philippines and put a hex on LeBron West.

Atlanta won 53 games last year and went to the 2nd Round. We are not at that level as currently constructed. These 45+ win predictions are wishful thinking.

Now Boston adds Shaq and Jermaine Oneil. Two guys highly motivated to win a ring.

I do think Miami wins the #1 seed because of all the regular season wins they will add up but if Boston is healthy once the playoffs start they are the favorite to come out of the east. No ifs ands or butts or fruity drinks

MS wrote:The Hawks head to head may not be a better team then the knicks right now. It's going to be much easier when you don't have the larry hughes, harrington types complaining the entire season.

We are better at every position this year and have a better bench.

The Hawks got a year older and that makes a difference with JJ and Bibby. They really need something from Teague this season. I think 5-7 is where the Knicks will end up.

And how on earth does anyone think the bobcats will be better. They lost felton and chandler and didn't add anything of note.
