Even tho it is not as tough as west.still having some great teams and few more suprises as well. here is what i think. 1..Detroit Piston 2. Indiana Pacers 3. Miami Heat 4. Orlando Magic 5. New Jersey Nets 6 New York Knicks 7 Cleveland Cavs 8. Cant tell Milwaukee,Washington,Sixers,and Boston will try to make the last spot.
Whoa, Orlando? Top 4? Thinking not my friend. I'm not sure if that team is ready to make the playoffs next year. Lots of youth and that squad won't have a lot of experience playing together. So, if they manage the playoffs, it'll likely be arond 7 or 8, no way top 4 though. Now my thoughts. 1. Pistons 2. Pacers 3. Heat 4. Bucks 5. Nets 6. Knicks 7. Cavs 8. Bulls

Bulls</div> that is something i really think they will make. top 4. i am not kidding, i really think that is a great team. with 3/5 starters of a a western playoffs team.Steve and mobely will be the most exciting and productive backcourt duo in east.They have sizes,talent,energy.Lets see.

PG: Francis SG: Mobley SF: Hill or Bogans PF: Howard C: Gooden Ok, that is a very good lineup. I will agree with that much. The only question is, how good can they play together. We know the chemistry between Francis and Mobley will be there, but what about the rest of the players? You have to think of things like that. This team is completely different than last years line up. The only returning starter would be Gooden. There is going to be chemistry problems I think, and that could hurt the teams chances. But, it is a very good lineup with a lot of potential to be good. We'll have to see though.
uh people, the top 3 seeds has to be in different divisions, so its either the paceres number 1 or 4 or the pistons number 1 or 4. pistons heat nets pacers knicks cavs sixers celtics the reason y the bucks will not make the playoffs is because they dont have a big man, tell me one big man they have that's decent. and the bulls wont make the playoffs because they're still unexperienced and young.but they will be a hell of a team in a few years.
so whoever is the 6th seed shud be lucky cuz they wud prob be playing the division winner of the atlantic division....lol, and the atlantic division really dont have anybody good this year.the nets r a mess,raptors r a mess,sixers and celtics and knicks r mediocore

You seem to forget that. Plus, the Sixers, all they have is Iverson. The Celtics have Pierce and Blount, but, they barely made the playoffs last year with that duo. I think the Bucks still have the better team cause they are essentially the same as last year.
1. Pistons -McDyess added, I see a dynasty people! 2. Pacers -Now they acquired Jacksom, although they traded Harrington away. O'Neal will be awesome 3. Heat -Shaq will be MVP. I think Miami have something great down there now. 4. Nets -Depends on them keeping KMart.. 5. Knicks -Hopefully they'll get Houston going. Marbury and Tim Thomas will be great 6. Magic -Francis, Mobley down there will work 7. Celtics -They got some great players in the draft 8. 76ers -AI times two = playoffs
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting MavsJ33:</div><div class="quote_post">The Wizards will definitely make the playoff's, Jamison will lead the there.</div> Wizards and playoffs just don't go well in the same sentence together. I mean, they have a lot of young talent in Brown, Arenas, Blake, Dixon, and Jeffries, but, I seriously doubt they make the playoffs. Unless they make a huge turnaround from last year, it won't happen. Plus, Jamison, to me, wasn't a very good addition to the team. Sure, he can score, rebound, and stretch the defense with his shooting ability, but, he's not a great overall player. He's not a great passer and he's a terrible defender for the most part. Granted I believe he will be one of their top scorers, probably #2 next to Arenas, but, I don't believe he will make that much of an impact.
no love for the Raps? .... Bosh, Rose Carter, Skip, and marshall ...not good enough?...well assuming none of them get injured.
Well I dont include the Raps because there future is un clear,plus they havent made the play offs in a while.
