#1 Boston Celtics
#2 Detroit Pistons
#3 Orlando Magic
#4 Philadalphia 76ers
#5 Cleveland Cavaliers
#6 Miami Heat
#7 Toronto Raptors
#8 Washington Wizards

i dont see the cavs doing anything great, they are still sub par, phili will be good but not better than detroit, after dumars said he would make changes it seems he wanted to scare everyone straight, they still have some good years left! but boston will go back to the finals probably

[nadeau01_johnson48]

Yea, and everyone putting the Cavs at #5 is rather funny....they are probably the best team in their division now since the addition of Mo Williams, (and the fact that Detroit keeps getting older, and still does nothing to the roster) and everyone is giving Philly/Orlando too much credit. Neither of those teams will be better than 4th.

It'll be this:

1. Boston
2. Cleveland
3. Detroit
4. Orlando
5. Philadelphia
6. Toronto
7. Washington
8. Miami

looks like we get to argue..lol your telling me mo williams is better chauncey billups? position for position, lebron is better than tayshaun but everything else in detroits lineup is better than cavs lineup, bench is better, 3 point ability

[nadeau01_johnson48]

Did I say that?

All I'm saying is LeBron SINGLE HANDEDLY is better than Detroit.

And the fact that Detroit keeps getting older every year, and doesn't change anything to their roster. Billups best years are behind him. Rasheed's best years are behind him. Tayshaun is their only "young" good player who still has upside (maybe Rip, but he's getting close). Everyone else is on the downslope of their careers.

Let's see...the Cavs were the 4 seed last year WITHOUT Mo Williams, why would they be worse this year?

Philly isn't gonna be amazing like everyone thinks. Orlando won't get any better.

Atlanta is so underrated. They should win the division. Also they should make it to at least the second round of the playoffs
