the order is whatever as depending on health or motivation i can see mia chi or bk with the best record in the conference with an indy or a ny still with upwards to 55+ wins.

As it stands regardless of regular season records, any matchup combo of the top 4 teams (mia bk chi indy) i see going the full 7 game series, maybe throw NY in their if they hit their shooting stride at the right time. Only exception to this being that miami *can* dead you in one of those "competitive 5 game series" type deals, where shyt was a lot tighter than the series length would imply (see '11 Chi and '12 OKC).

either way, i hope the top 5 teams stay healthy b/c if so this will be the most fun (and competitive) the east has been in a long ass time

heat vs pacers or nets right now I'll say pacers since I haven't seen the new (or old ) brooklyn team play one game together yet

I think

• The Sixers might fukk around and find themselves with the 8th seed. (see next 3 posts before getting your panties in a knot)
  
• Atlanta Hawks COULD be up there too.
  
• Pistons go talent at the 1,4 and 5 spot but im not sure how those pieces work together
• I expect major improvement from the Cavs
• Pacers should be seeded higher than 4th

Edit: see next 3 posts before getting your panties in a knot

even says @ that idea.

SMH at everyone trolling with this brooklyn sht. I swear, if we were the ones who traded a kings ransom worth of picks, for a declining pierce, an on his last legs KG, and a non-existent Jason Terry, the whole basketball universe would be laughin like a Martin marathon.

Its alright, I saw this movie last year, where brooklyn was predicted to have a far superior sqaud to ours, and we see how that turned out. As far as the other squads --- they're good, not unbeatable. We're the deepest team in the East. You'll see it.

man even on 2k13, when I run with BK, the entire starting lineup minus are gassed after about 2 minutes.

Hard to say so many question marks with all teams

Indy the only team I see that will def be better than last season they glaring weakness was they bench production and with either granger or Stephenson going to the bench copeland and scola and cj running it they bench is much better

Ny still looks like my turn your turn melo and jr smith with some Felton and amare sprinkled in.

Bulls bench has no scoring as past season showed our bench was our 2nd superstar. Without that we lose some. And if rose goes down for any amount of time I don't know what we go do for scoring

Will the heat be healthy enough to go on another run? Will oden be an addition or will he hurt more than help cause he a big bunch of nothing just wasting space and he takes a shooter off the floor for the heat

Brooklyn might run into the same issue Boston did, too old to have the energy to run with bulls heat pacers or Knicks. Plus I don't know what Kidd brings to they offense or defense
