u guys do realize that MIAMI INDIANA AND DETROIT CANNOT POSSIBLY be top 3, the top team of each conference takes the top 3 seeds. adn the Pacers and pistions are in the same conferences.
are yall forgetting sumthing??????? wut about them Houston rockets>>>!!!?????? im sure they will get the 4th spot in da west
Realignment Helper: Top 3 Seeds are Division Winners Atlantic: BOS, NJN, NYK, PHI, TOR Central: CHI, CLE, DET, IND, MIL Southeast: ATL, CHA, MIA, ORL, WAS Southwest: DAL, HOU, MEM, NO, SAS Northwest: DEN, MIN, POR, SEA, UTA Pacific: GSW, LAC, LAL, PHX, SAC My picks are in the other thread already.
Eastern Conference: 1. Detroit Pistons (defense) 2. Miami Heat (considering they'll get Malone also) 3. Chicago Bulls (yeah, bold prediction) 4. Milwaukee Bucks (Redd and Ford, hopefully healthy) 5. Indiana Pacers (may be adding Dampier) 6. Cleveland Cavaliers (LeBron, Z, Jackson and Snow can do it) 7. Orlando Magic (possible, but it is the East) 8. New Jersey Nets (lost Martin, but Kidd and RJ are still there) Western Conference: 1. San Antonio Spurs (re-signed Ginobili, and now going after Malone) 2. Minnesota T'Wolves (still have their starters) 3. Sacramento Kings (but they won't go far) 4. Denver Nuggets (adding Martin WILL help Anthony alot) 5. Phoenix Suns (Marion, Amare, Johnson, AND Nash) 6. Los Angeles Lakers (getting rid of Shaq will prove to be a good idea in the long run) 7. Houston Rockets (no chemistry between T-Mac and Yao) 8. Seattle Sonics (Lewis, Flip, Allen, Swift and Collison will play great together, with everyone healthy, and may end up into the second round with an upset)
In that case, make it.. 1. Indiana Pacers 2. Miami Heat 3. New York Knicks 4. Detriot Pistons 5. Milwaukee Bucks 6. Orlando Magic 7. Cleveland Cavaliers 8. New Jersey Nets Western Conference: 1. San Antonio Spurs 2. Sacramento Kings 3. Minnesota T'Wolves 4. Dallas Mavericks 5. Los Angeles Lakers 6. Denver Nuggets 7. Los Angeles Clippers 8. New Orleans Hornets

Intresting. sorry but that is a very very unique opinion.
It's kind of foolish to make predictions now when the offseason isn't over yet and they're are plenty of signings, trades and a combo of both, to be done.
My Top Seed East Coast Team has to be Detroit. My Top Seed West Coast Team has to be San Antonio. It doesnt matter who is traded, signed, or whatever. Now that Sheed is with Detroit and Barry is in San Antonio, those will be the two teams everyone must dethrone this year. Not an easy task. On a side note, I see the Lakers taking the 5-6 seed in the West.
I already posted my Eastern and Western spots already before in a similar thread not too long ago. You can view my Western Confrence predictions here. Also my Eastern Conference predictions here. These threads are just keep repeating.
as of now and i dont care about division(who ever has the best record) 1.detriot-gunna have sheed all season and they have the best defense gunna be hard to beat 2.indiana-i think they need to make some changes but they'll be up there 3.miami-shaq and wade all that needs to be said 4.new york-marbury tomas healthy housten and if they get crawford and or dampier 5.cleveland-z lebron and snow i think they can do it (fucking boozer ) 6.toronto-if vince stays they have vince rose bosh and alston i cant beleive no one put them 7-milwake-redd and ford and mason i think that will be a good combo even though they lost skinner 8. nets- sry but u guys are idiots for trading martain west 1.spurs-with the addition of barry they should be hard to beat 2.kings-lost divac but they have ostertag-i think they would of beet the wolves if jackson was plaing 3.wolves-healthy szerbiack will help them 4.denver-martain and anthony next jordan and pippen(exept and diffrent positions)??? 5.mavs-even with the lose of nash they are still gunna be up there 6. memphis-they have a great team it sucks to c swift go though. 7.rockets-tmac and yao if they dont explode 8.phenoix-replacement of marbury in nash-nash marion stadimire and johnson should be fun to watch edit- i had portland at 8 pheonix at 7 and rockets at 6 then i remebered memphis
<u>west</u> 1. SA 2. Minny 3. Sacto 4. Houston 5. Memphis 6. Denver 7. Lakers 8. Dallas <u>East</u> 1. Miami 2. Detroit 3. Knicks (I believe they're gonna do something big before the season begins) 4. Indy 5. Orlando 6. Bucks 7. Cleveland 8. Boston <u>Conference Finals</u> Wolves VS Spurs Detroit VS Miami <u>Finals</u> Spurs VS Detroit <u>Champions</u> Spurs But i want minny to take it all, definitely not counting them out
Why is everyone putting Dallas so high up? They've got worse not better. EAST 1 Detroit 2 Indiana 3 Miami 4 Milwaukee 5 Orlando 6 New York 7 New Jersey 8 Cleveland WEST 1 San Antonio 2 Sacramento 3 Houston 4 Denver 5 La Lakers 6 Memphis 7 Dallas 8 Portland
East 1. Detroit Pistons (defending champs if mcdyess stays healthy big future.) 2. Philadelphia 76ers (they drafted a good rookie, heathy AI and new coach I see a b right future for them if the team doesnt get hurt.) 3. Orlando Magic (They have the deepest team in there division. Not saying much) 4. Indiana Pacers ( Would be higher in the standing but top three have to be division winners.) 5. Miami Heat (They dont have anydepth any more with the leaving of skip and trading of butler, odam, and grant, but shaq will get them there on pure drive and determination.) 6.Toronto Raptors (If they keep vince now that they got skip they could make a playoff run) 7. Clevland Cavaliers (Lebron and snow will be a good back court that can score and get them to the playoffs.) 8. Chicago Bulls (very improved team. I see them making a playoff push depending on records they may get in. Western Conference 1. Timberwolves (kept entire team in tact.) 2. Spurs (kept entire team and signed barry.) 3. Lakers (I still see them winning there division for some reason) 4. Houston Rockets (The combo of tmac and ming may get them this high I think they will land a bit lower though) 5. Phonex Suns (they have a good team, but are young so I dont see them getting hire besides for nash everyone in there starting lineup is in there ower 20's.) 6. Kings (they will get to the playoffs and have a good regular season, but so will post teams out west so this is were I see them going.) 7. Denver Nuggets (good front line will get them to the playoffs) 8. Memphis Griz (they are a under rated team this season. Because of no big off season signings.)
