As a Celtics fan, this shouldn't even be a poll. Raptors will roll through.

Unless all the saps on Knicks team actually become solid players, which they won't, Raptors almost have this in the bag. I think Celtics are in a position to beat Nets and Knicks, but its a toss up between those 3 for the 2nd place, with little hope of leading the division and getting playoff spot for sure.

Geez, the Raptors finally have a decent year and win forty-something odd games in a weak conference/division and people act as though they have all this credibility in the bank. I think the Atlantic is totally up for grabs between the Raptors, Knicks, and Nets. It wouldn't surprise me if either of the three won it.

I too think they easy choice is the Raptors, but if the Nets or Knicks were to win the division, it wouldn't be a surprise. What would be a surprise if any of those 3 are actually "dangerous" come the playoffs. But, that's another story.

The Raptors have the most "solid" roster heading in. The Nets & Knicks have new head coaches and very different rosters. It might be interesting.

And then for the 76ers & Celtics, it's going to be interesting to see how bad both can be. The Sixers have basically said "we want to suck", and the Celtics are playing the fan card by not openly saying the same. They're only not blowing things up to sell some tickets and jerseys. Come January, they'll be tanking.

lol wtf? We were not carried by "Pierce and Livingston" at all. Not sure how someone who averaged 8 PPG and 3 APG can be considered to have "carried the team". Besides we replaced him with a quality backup in Jarrett Jack who was up for 6th MOTY not long ago. Pierce wasn't directly replaced, but his production isn't hard to replace at all. Especially if Brook stays healthy.

Im a nets fan who saw literally every nets game last season. You are not going to tell me what I dont know. Jack is a better player than Livingston.

Actually the Celtics could compete for that Atlantic Division: great core of young guys + a possibly healthy Rondo.

Knicks also lost Tyson Chandler too. I doubt Dalembert will fair as well as a centerpiece for Knick's defense.

Raptors have the Atlantic locked up unless DeRozan/Lowry go down with a major injury.

As a Raps fan I'm just worried about Bagnani having bounce back year!!! He may be the only factor in the Raps not winning the Division!

The Knicks have their own 1st round pick and can't trade it, and they'll have plenty of cap space to play with the next 2 years. So it really doesn't matter from the Knicks standpoint...finally.

I'll go with the Raptors. They won the division last season and until someone proves otherwise, should be considered the favorites this year.
