Your in the East.. Id be looking at a 5th or 6th seed, the Bucks have a heap of talent on there roster, it's really a matter of using it in the right way now if they can get a main rotation of players that are going to be effective and then stick with then id think the Bucks would make the playoffs unless injuries decided to come to Milwaukee, I don't see a team this talanted missing the playoffs but im sure they wont be real playoff threat once they are there because there just not experenced enough, mabye in a couple of years I can possibly see them doing some real damage in the playoffs if they can stick to building around there best current players, The Chinese also might add a little pressure to win on the Bucks, which could be a good thing actually, we will see.
It's gonna be tough with all the teams looking for a playoff seed in the east and no real teams dominating. The Bucks will probably make the playoffs because they have a lot of nice young big men. If Yi can step it up and be the player he's expected to be possibly playoffs. Michael Redd is awesome and if healthy should lead the team next year.
oh,god,The two poster above have the same ID.......lol, This forum should trim redundant blank in the ID.

The East isn't that weak, the addition of Yi Jianlian won't push them over the top. Let's take a look at the team's who will contend for the playoffs: (Not in any order) Detroit Pistons Cleveland Cavaliers New Jersey Nets Toronto Raptors Washington Wizards Miami Heat Orlando Magic Chicago Bulls ----- Boston Celtics Charlotte Bobcas Philadelphia 76ers New York Knicks Milwaukee Bucks Last year the teams who made the playoffs, clearly made the playoffs. They proved that the team will be here for a very long time. This is not neccesaraly true with the Magic, but they have brought in a great coach in Stan Van Gundy and are likely to sign Rashard Lewis: an amazing upgrade over Grant Hill. The only team I can see making the playoffs after an absence last year would be the Boston Celtics with the addition of Ray Allen. I will expect a good .500 season from the Bucks but not a playoff appereance.

I still think they have a 60/40 chance at making the playoffs, there a team that could turn out to be good next season or a bad team or an average team, what im saying here is that saying how many wins the bucks will win next season is like a bad scouting report, I think they could go ethier way, suprise me. Im sticking with Playoffs in 08.

There will be alot of contention for the 8th seed and alot of seeds in the playoffs are already pretty much sealed. It's too much of a scatter and Boston/Charlotte/Philadelphia all look better than the Bucks.
