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.</p> <ul> <li> <ol> <li>Philadelphia 76ers</li> </ol> </li> <li> <ol start="2"> <li>New York Knicks</li> </ol> </li> <li> <ol start="3"> <li>Detroit Pistons</li> </ol> </li> <li> <ol start="4"> <li>Boston Celtics</li> </ol> </li> <li> <ol start="5"> <li>Cleveland Cavaliers</li> </ol> </li> <li> <ol start="6"> <li>Indiana Pacers</li> </ol> </li> <li> <ol start="7"> <li>Toronto Raptors</li> </ol> </li> <li> <ol start="8"> <li>Miami Heat</li> </ol> </li> <li> <ol start="9"> <li>Atlanta Hawks</li> </ol> </li> <li> <ol start="10"> <li>Washington Wizards</li> </ol> </li> </ul> <h2 id="western-conference"> Western Conference </h2> <p>Opposed to the east, the west is top loaded and everyone has the same top two. It&rsquo;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 &ldquo;upstarts&rdquo;.</p>
