    New York Knicks are 6th seed now. They are on a 5 or 6 game losing streak now, but I don't think they will get knocked out of the playoffs.

    just to let you guys know, indiana and detroit can't be 1-2, because they're in the same division. The top seeds in each division are 1-2. That means detroit or indiana is going to be either 1 or 3 or lower but they can't be 1-2.

    Indiana
    New Jersey
    Detroit
    New Orleans
    Milwaukee
    New York
    Miami
    Toronto

    Boston is on a down slide (just beating Toronto b/c of their situation)
    Philly has no Iverson, not too much of a chance for them to do anything.

    CLeveland is the real scare here, they could get thinck in the race with Toronto and Miami.

    <u>Round 1</u>
    Indiana vs Toronto (4-1) Indiana
    New Jersey vs Miami (4-3) New Jersey
    Detroit vs New York (4-2) Detroit
    New Orleans vs Milwaukee (4-3) New Orleans

    <u>Round 2</u>
    Indiana vs New Orleans (4-3) New Orleans (if Artest doesn't return) with Artest (4-3) Indiana
    New Jersey vs Detroit (4-2) Detroit

    <u>EAST Finals</u>
    New Olreans/Indiana vs Detroit (4-3) Indiana/New Orleans

    Too many people underestimating the Bucks. I personally think the Bucks can beat the Hornets in a 6 or 7 game series.

    1.Jersey
    2.Pacers
    3.Detroit
    4.NO hornets
    5.Bucks
    6.Knicks
    7.Toronto
    8.Miami


    Jersey beats Miami in 5.

    Toronto beats Pacers in 7 (after the all-star game...vince carter will show rick carilse why he should have not been on the bench) if artest is healthy...toronto will lose.

    Detroit sweeps knicks

    Hornets will win in 7 or 6.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting HardCore_BOozer:</div><div class="quote_post">8. Toronto......with Philly in mind (hard to count out Iverson)</div>

    If Iverson stays out, the Sixers have a good chance of making a run :P.

    Here are my predictions...

    1. Indiana
    2. New Jersey
    3. Detroit
    4. Milwaukee
    5. New Orleans
    6. Miami
    7. Cleveland
    8. Philly

    Raptors have lost 9 straight, Knicks have lost 6 straight, Celtics have won 2 in a row but they have a very tough schedule coming up, I think Philly will be able to make a run and claim the 8th and final spot.

    My predictions for the playoffs:

    Indiana over Philly
    New Jersey over Cleveland
    Detroit over Miami
    Milwaukee over New Orleans

    Indiana over Detroit
    New Jersey over New Orleans

    Indiana over New Jersey

    Indiana loses in the finals and the West takes home another championship

    Sounds stupid. But I think these is just going to be one of those shocking/surprising NBA stories, that everyone will never forget about that 8th seed team, that barlely made the playoff's and went to the finals. Hey, its the NBA anything can happen. Just take last night game against MIN as an example. Yeah its only 1 season game, but they managed to get a win over the leading MVP canidate and quite possibly one of the Top 3 Best PG in the league right now. Plus it was done without their 2 top scorers. So that just tells you anything can happen.

    If the Sixers get in the playoffs,I hope they eliminate Indy(to become second team to do it [​IMG] ) and then they will face NJ deeper in the playoffs,I have always wanted to see NJ-Philly showdown.

    I don't get how some people are putting NY over Milwaukee. The Bucks are better, cleary. Van Horn seems to be playing quite well too..

    The east is way too weak, it's hard to pick teams beyond the top 3 for a lock. Very sad.

    The Pacers have the best record in the east, so far they appear to be a lock for the top spot. Ron Artest's injury could be the only thing holding them back for the remainder of the season.

    Jersey has done it the past couple of years, it wouldn't be a shock to see them there again. Their coach has them rolling, they could go places come playoff time.

    Give or take a few for the last couple spots, anyone could really make it.

    Lebron could bring the Cavs to the playoffs, but Boston and Philly are contenders as well.
