EXCEPT for CLEVELAND: this is a realistic picture of what the Easter Conference might look like at season's end...

Please! I know it's only preseason, but with Washington's injuries...and possibly Milwaukee getting their act together... DISCUSS!

thats not too realistic...lol

Miami is going to be in the playoff hunt..there is no way Cleveland misses the playoffs unless of course the obvious.

although i see improvement..i cant see the knicks being the #4 seed or close to it...lol

i see chicago in the hunt for the playoffs as well.

Not just the seeding... but I did say EXCEPT FOR CLEVELAND!

I thought Miami would be too but if we play up to our level and Cleveland replaces Indy...no miami -- unless a major injury to another team.

chicago and miami won't sniff the playoffs

that is realistic with the exception of cleveland and some rankings.

So this is a realistic view of the Eastern Conference with the slight exception how are we supposed to take the West as real too?

LOL!

^ The West is a dominant conference with barely no offseason additions!

So you're saying SA, Phoenix, and Portland all miss the playoffs?

NO, that the West is established and those records don't carry as much weight!

So the East is locked when our very own team didn't play one western conference team during preseason? Matter of fact we didn't play any team outside our division.

THE THREAD IS ABOUT THE EASTERN CONFERENCE.

TheBluest is just trying to hijack the thread...
