You should throw some money on it. I'm not bold enough to or i would, if you really think they will nab HCA.

Bulls ain't getting Kuminga and we already got one of those terrible contracts in patrick williams

It's really hard to predict how the Pacers and Celtics will fare. Not only because of the injuries, but if the front office decides to punt the season and rests/trades guys.

1. Cleveland Cavaliers
2. New York Knicks
3. Orlando Magic
4. Atlanta Hawks
5. Miami Heat
6. Milwaukee Bucks
7. Detroit Pistons
8. Toronto Raptors

9. Philadelphia 76ers
10. Indiana Pacers
11. Boston Celtics
12. Chicago Bulls
13. Charlotte Hornets
14. Washington Wizards
15. Brooklyn Nets

Round 1

Cavaliers over play in team
Knicks over play in team
Bucks over Magic
Hawks over Heat

Round 2

Cavaliers over Hawks
Knicks over Bucks

ECF

Knicks over Cavaliers

The Pacer traded their starting center and lost their all-star point guard. It's safe to assume they won't be competing.

I hope Bennedict Mathurin can establish himself as a potential all-star caliber talent for them.

Thankfully, they have their own future first round picks.

Lot of people seem to think Dame was moving the needle the last 2 seasons apparently when in reality he wasnt much of an upgrade over Kevin Porter Jr. Bucks won 48 games last year, they’ll win that or more this coming season.

I mostly agree with other posts, i have 76ers higher then everyone, i think they will patch up couple of healthy stretches and they will be amazing in **** east in them, but still drop bcs of injuries. Also i think Giannis will get injured bcs of too much load and Bucks will drop to the bottom, maybe even trade him.

with 76ers for me, I think health is going to be key, I mean in general for a lot of teams, but healh for 76ers a lot more? I would rank them higher if they can stay healthy

The meat and potatoes portion of the East is hard to choose. Let's see how this pans out lol Probably terribly for the middle section as there could be a lot of variance.

Same as when I listed them in one of these (many) threads a few weeks ago:

EC

Championship caliber
CLE

Homecourt contenders
ATL, DET, NYK, ORL

Could be good, could implode
CHI, MIA, MIL

Fighting for one or two play-in games
PHI, TOR

Buying another lottery ticket
BRK, CHA, WAS

*Limbo
BOS, IND

*Limbo doesn't necessarily mean the worst, just that they're going nowhere (this season).

Embiid healthy but Giannis injured seems pretty delulu to me

In prediction games, to be the most accurate, you’ve got to nail a few of the wild calls. If everything went exactly as expected from the start, the bookmakers wouldn’t stand a chance.
Embiid will not be healthy whole season, not even most optimistic 76ers fans would think that, but even if he plays 40-50 games i think 76ers can make it to 4th place since east is so weak.
