Projected 2014-15 Eastern Conference standings

RANKTEAMWLPCT'14 W'14 L'14 PCT

1Cleveland Cavaliers5626.6833349.402

@zander1979: Cavs won 66 and 61 with Mo Williams and Delonte West as 2nd and 3rd offensive options...better set that win total higher.

@Mike_KJGIPL: 56 wins feels about right given the inevitable adjustment period and rim protection issues.

2Chicago Bulls5428.6594834.585

@ryannik85: Bulls won 48 games last year, add a healthy D-Rose, Pau Gasol, Mirotic and McDermott...Bulls win total will be over 60.

@BH_RightOnTime: Bulls at #2 seems right. Good depth, D-Rose returning, and East is the weaker conference.

3Toronto Raptors*4735.5734834.585

@accfanto: Raps had a poor start last year before moving Gay, expect more like 50 wins.

@jlos_: Washington should be #3. You know this.

4Washington Wizards*4735.5734438.537

@PrinZessCarter: All top 4 teams in the East will have 50+ wins. WAS & TOR can both upset/rank higher than the Bulls, who have big adjustments.

@miles731: With Wall and Beal improving and new depth on the bench, Wizards will be a 50-win team and get the 3 seed.

5Charlotte Hornets4537.5494339.524

@OrlovicUros: Very possible East finalist, #Lance is superstar already, along with Kemba, Big Al & MKG - Strong stuff.

@kantgitrite98: I agree @ESPNNBA the @hornets legit top five #BUZZBUZZ

6Miami Heat4438.5375428.659

@Fakoro: Seriously? Hahah this is a joke! Miami will be the #3 seed in East!

@JuMuJazz: Curious to see Bosh, Wade & Deng together. Crazy to think those 3 alone can't get more than 45 wins in weak East.

7Atlanta Hawks4240.5123844.463

@ATLHawks: ESPN says we're the 7 seed in the East this season. Agree or disagree?

Pistons issues were coaching and philosophy.. we've established this many a time already.

Let's also stop pretending they didnt address needs on the perimeter to a starting 5 full of talent.

I expect Wiz , Bulls and Cavs t move up. Miami and Toronto will move down a notch. But I highly doubt Charlotte is gonna be better than Miami or Raptorss

we have a competent coach who will know exactly what to do and how to make this team flourih. He will develop Dre and Moose to become fine big men in this league. The SVG Effect :tripsooh:

Yeah... keep saying that to yourself if that what makes you sleep better at night :
YOu have very good talent on that team but the parts simply dont fit together
