Predicting the Eastern Conference Standings 2014/2015 Season

[dckingsfan]

Wall indicated he made the decision, not Coach Randy Wittman or the training staff. “I know he definitely wants to see me out there playing,” Wall said after shoot-around Friday. “But I think we’re just trying to look at the long haul, see what’s best for me, and trying to be as close to 100 percent as I can be going into the playoffs.” Washington Post

And there I was giving Wittman credit...

Nene is injuried again. That good in a way. We are more likely to see Wall, Beal, Otto, Gooden and Gortat..

I expect to match up well against ATL to start the game… The problem with Nene out and more importantly, Temple being injured, is how it effects the bench.

Sessions, Rasaul, PP, Hump, Kevin is good but not as good as starting Temple 5 minutes and having
Seesions, Beal, PP, Nene, Kevin …off the bench

If we could/would do that, we could handles teams though the first half repeat to start the 3rd then ride it out with

Wall, Beal, Otto/PP, Gooden, Gortat subbing in Hump if needed.for Gooden

We would beat LOTS of teams that way…

Wonder if CLE didn't mind BOS beating them.

They laid down. This makes it more likely they meet up for BOS in the playoffs instead of BRK or IND

Cle wants to play BOS in the 1st round. That's 4-5 easy game for em. Hopefully INDY can overtake them and CLE gets the bad juju they deserve (a 6-7 game series).

Isaiah Thomas will be a handful in the playoffs. Kyrie may score 25 or 30 a game, but Thomas will score 20 or more himself.

Lebron will destroy Boston, but the Cs have some fight in them.

Adding IT does allow them to field a team that has at least some basis on go to player for the playoffs.

But CLE should crush them in 4 or 5 games.

As is, CLE has a cake walk to the ECFs

The battle is in the other bracket and if IND sneaks in, its even tougher.

Bulls are in 3rd now.

TOR get BOS in BOS tomorrow and BOS has been playing pretty well.

We could get TOR instead of CHI. I think I would look forward to that more.

Yeah. I want Toronto, too.

Me three. On paper, we seem to matchup better with the Bulls because of size. But their current bigs are much better than what they had last year. Gasol and Mirotic change the equation in Chicago's favor IMO.

Toronto has less experience and has their own coaching issues, plus we have a guy on our team in Pierce that knows how to beat them from the Brooklyn series last year.

I think it's unlikely that we'll advance past the 2nd round, but it's definitely possible. I'd say we have less than a 50% chance of making the Conference Finals, but probably more than a 25% chance. That's still better than last year where we were fortunate to even make it to the 2nd round.

IDK. Factor in and already playoffs tested Wall and anything is possible.
He could go all HAM. And he'll have enough support behind him if he does
to probably advance all long as he keeps playing like that. He has the potential
to be that good. I'll readily concede he isn't there consistently yet but he's not
that far off.

Wall year 5. Hungry and with a 2nd round playoff experience and something to prove.
Paul Peirce in his ear saying... why not us.
Gortat with title experience.
Nene hungry as ever...anyone remember the speach he gave when he got here and we sucked... God has a plan for me.

Sometimes a team has a destiny. And when the players start to believe it, you don't want to bet against that.
