Miami, who had the worst record in the league, will win their division. Orlando, who had a great season, got a legit starter at SG this season, their biggest weakness. Cleveland actually has a legit scoring option who can create his own shot now that they have Mo Williams. Washington will have a healthy Gilbert this season. Toronto added a former All-Star big man and improved their D and rebounding a lot, plus Calderon is gonna be running the show.

The last four spots are gonna be competitive as hell, and the eighth seed is gonna be well over .500. The East won't be quite good as the West this season, but they'll be pretty damn close.
