WAS and ORL favourites to win the east?

[Wizards2Lottery]

I think Washington and Orlando are the 2nd tier teams in the East and the future bests. I think both are the future of the Eastern Conference. Washington has a lot of young talent with great chemistry and Orlando has D-12.

Cleveland messed up big time in that trade and I don't see Toronto doing anything until they start playing defense and acquire defensive stoppers instead of 3 point chuckers.

This just might be one of the dumbest threads i've ever seen.

Orlando, atleast has a legitmate reason to think they're the favorites with d. howard.

But Washington? Are you serious? NO way are they the team to beat. Boston and Detroit are. Detroit has the experience, and the celtics season speaks for itself.

Toronto is clearly the favorite. No one wants to see Rasho in the playoffs.

There have been many threads and posts on general board in the last few weeks that ORL and WAS have a very good chance of beating BOS and DET. It looks like these two teams are becoming the teams to beat in the east and BOS and DET have been dropped to second tier on this board.

It seems like the wizards and magic are now favourites to represent the eastern conference in the finals. Do you think BOS and DET stand a realistic chance against ORL and WAS or are the two just to good to be beaten in a 7 game series?

I love my Magic & I am a big fan of Gilbert Arenas, but i'm not crazy enough to say that the Celts & Pistons have dropped to the 2nd tier in the east! If the Magic & Wiz want respect, they have to prove it come playoff time. . .

Wow, even as a Wizards fan....no....just no.

When I saw this I said "What?" and smiled...

I think Washington has a better chance against both than Orlando, though

[Texas Longhorns]

How? Favorites? The OP and whoever agrees with the OP is drunk.

[TAI8]

No.

I blame Flip Saunders, Rasho, and Yinka Dare for this thread.
