prediction of Eastern Conference standings 09-10

[kgnwally]

Hey everyone i know im new here but would love to see what some of the predictions are from you guys regarding the upcoming season. how do you see the standings shaping up and who will come out the east?

Here is what i think:

1.boston- still the champs imo because last year was injuries
2.cavs- got shaq lets see how he fits?
3.magic-did they lose more (hedo and lee) than they gained?(vc,barnes j-will)
4.wizards-if agent 0 is back this team can be lethal but still lacks depth in their big man rotation
5.hawks-another year together they are a good team but not great and have chemistry issues
6.raptors- this team can surprise people this year but they need time to gel
7.pistons-alot of solid players no superstars just like the 03-04 team but there is no chauncey billups on this team
8.heat- for crying out loud get dwade some help in miami!

there is my predictions and i think the celtics are going to go all the way!

1abc) Celts, Cavs, Magic- I'm too lazy to decide, but I'd like to think the C's will get the job done.

4)Atlanta- they've had a quiet and very good offseason. They're not elite, but would defiantly cause a scare for one of the big three.

5)Miami- Wade is the best in the league, so there's no way his team finishes lower than 5 with Beasley/Chalmers/JO helping him out.

6)Philly- With a healthy Brand, a much improved Thaddeus Young and improved floor spacing, the Sixers are a pretty good team.

7)Washington- Even with a healthy Haywood, they're still a crappy defensive team. They do have tons of fire power ala Phoenix of a few years ago, which will let them win games.

8)Indiana- If Dunleavy comes back early, lie they're saying, I think Indy will break their drought. Granger is a legit #1 option and the continued growth of Hibbert + Rush will be good for them.

I really wanna see Charlotte make the playoffs because I love Gerald Wallace, but I just don't see that happening after the Okafor trade.
