Eastern Conference

It is simply an understatement to say that the East is loaded. It is going to be wild to watch this regular season play out. I really can see any of the top eight ending up anywhere in the top eight, but here are my predictions for how it turns out.

    1. Philadelphia 76ers
    1. New York Knicks
    1. Detroit Pistons
    1. Boston Celtics
    1. Cleveland Cavaliers
    1. Indiana Pacers
    1. Toronto Raptors
    1. Miami Heat
    1. Atlanta Hawks
    1. Washington Wizards

Western Conference

Opposed to the east, the west is top loaded and everyone has the same top two. It’s hard to go against that, but the rest of the conference is still interesting even though after the top six you are looking at some “upstarts”.

    1. Oklahoma City Thunder
    1. San Antonio Spurs
    1. Minnesota Timberwolves
    1. Houston Rockers
    1. Los Angeles Lakers
    1. Denver Nuggets
    1. Portland Timberwolves
    1. Memphis Grizzlies
    1. Los Angeles Clippers
    1. Utah Jazz
