AS OF RIGHT NOW with the given rosters:
i have the cavs winning the ECF despite finishing 3rd in the standings.
the bulls & pacers will be pretenders with better records as usual, unless one of them gets/keeps lance stephenson.......but the bulls look nice if they can swing gasol.
standings:
1. bulls
2. pacers
3. cavs
4. nets
5. knicks
6. heat
7. wizards
8. hawks
9. raptors
10. hornets
MAN!!!! my list is changing already.
they making moves on the market now. the arms-race is indeed on. word to the OP.
p.gasol is now on the east, while Ariza done packed up and headed out west. now i gotta change the order. and i think the bulls are a player away from going to the finals. hell, if rose comes back as ROSE, they could go to the finals with what they have.
1. bulls
2. pacers
3. cavs
4. nets - 3rd seed
5. knicks
6. heat - 4th seed
7. hawks
8. raptors
9. wizards
10. hornets
we could see the cavs/heat and nets/knicks in the 1st round.
