In my opinion...
West
1. Lakers
2. Okc
3. Clippers
East
1. Heat
2. Bulls
3. Pacers
Something tells me that our evil stepbrother will do well this Season... especially with a healthy Billups, rejuvenated Odom, and veteran leadership in Grant Hill. They even picked up a team support player/mascot in Turiaf. Not a bad offseason at all.

Bulls #2 with Rose out until march? Didn't they get beat by an 8 seed without Rose?

Playoffs came around and all bets were off at that point though. Didn't know Rose was out until March though. Last report I read claimed that he was "ahead of schedule". I was thinking Late December or January return. |

Last report I saw was less than a week ago and it had him 2-3 weeks ahead of schedule which put his return as soon as March 2013

I'd probably drop them down to #3 if that's the case. Was thinking it would be close if D-Rose could give them a boost earlier in the season... but March is pretty late. Also won't be in "elite" nba game shape at that point either, while most other players will be. |

I just can't respect Brooklyn yet... Frontline of Brook Lopez / Humphries ugh. They've got a few decent pieces. As for Boston, I don't know. I think they will cruise through the season at #4 and then try to turn it up in the playoffs. Seems like those green cockroaches never die though. |

I think they will cruise through the season at #4 and then try to turn it up in the playoffs. Seems like those green coachroaches never die though. Oh East is weak, but I don't believe in Indiana. Brooklyn has an all star team though I'd rank Lopez 5th. They are very solid 1-3. Humphries is a douche but a double/double guy. Lopez is extremely soft but the Eastern conference has no bigs and little competition. East 2 and 3 were more by default. Chicago should be ok with Hinrich back but I think they'll struggle knowing Rose is gone and no backcourt with a injury likely to occur to their frontline 50 wins could get 3rd seed |
