The East's second tier welcomes a new member: Chicago. The Bulls swung and missed on LeBron, D-Wade and CB4, but they did get Carlos Boozer, a deeper bench and a new coach, Tom Thibodeau. That and the sharp ascent of Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah mean that Chicago's sellout crowds finally have something to see. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?page=SummerForecast10-EastStandings
I think the bulls finish ahead of the Celtics. I don't see how the C's improved in meaningful way or have any new found interest in the regular season. Who do they have coming off of the bench to fill Tony Allen's role? I see them being very content with a 6th or 7th seed depending on the matchup. That said, Atlanta could win 55 games, too.
