I never like this threads...cuz no matter what you say, someone will bash you. However, I would like to say the East has the best teams that it has had in at least ten years.

I don't get how people keep ranking Atlanta above Toronto when Atlanta has not made any serious changes, meanwhile Toronto has greatly upgraded it's biggest weaknesses. Toronto was better than Atlanta before they made any changes, and now that they've fixed their biggest weaknesses, it should make them even more better than Atlanta, not worse.

i love how people are putting the nuggets below the kings, clippers, and warriors. you guys must really overvalue camby and undervalue the combo of AI and Melo. not that nugget fans aren't used to be bashed.

Thats because those 3 teams you mentioned have starting frontcourts that can actually play more than half a year together.

Once Nene comes into training camp hurt again and Kenyon Martin has his recurring knee problems, who's going to be the starters beside AI and Melo? Steven Hunter and Linas Kleiza? The Nuggets are a joke right now. And whos the starting PG, Chucky or AAAAAYYYY CEEEEEE?
