I don't think there'll be 9 teams with a .500+ record...maybe 5 or 6 teams. Also, I don't see the Heat making it.

[IceMan23and3]

With Boston winning the Atlantic, Cleveland with its better record would be the higher seed over Toronto. Miami and Washington don't play 84 games either.

However, I project Cleveland finishes 2nd in the East with 55 wins. Then Detroit, Orlando, and then Toronto, Miami, Atlanta, and NJN.

1) Boston 67-15
2) Cleveland 55-27
3) Detroit 53-29
4) Orlando 51-31
5) Toronto 46-36
6) Miami 45-37
7) Atlanta 43-39
8) NJN 41-41

1. Boston
2. Cleveland
3. Detroit
4. Orlando
5. Toronto
6. Chicago
7. Miami
8. New Jersey

Boston-Jersey--tough matchup for the C's in the first round, but they will probably win it in 5.
Cleveland-Miami--FINALLY Wade vs. Lebron. But in the first round...ugh. Series goes 7. Cleveland wins.
Detroit-Chicago--poor bulls their strong second half is rewared by running into the Pistons again, who they can't beat. Pistons in 6.
Toronto-Orlando--Bosh vs. Howard! Unfortunately for T-dot, defense and inside play are what pays in the playoffs. Magic in 5.

Celtics-Orlando-Tough tough series. Black eyes abound. But experience wins out, because Howard isn't quiiiite ready, and Rashard Lewis caves under the pressure. Celtics in 5.
Pistons-Cavs--Cavs have figured the Pistons out. They get the sweep they should have gotten last year. Cavs in 4.

Cavs-Celtics--Can one man beat five? He can if he's one of the best ever. Cavs in 7.

Cavs get to the finals by beating Miami, Detroit, Boston....and they will still get beaten by the Spurs easily, and people will still not give them respect.

Of course it's early :P

Too early to tell. I believe Boston, Orlando and Detroit will be at the top, while Cleveland and Toronto will be 4 and 5. The rest of the east is a crab shoot.

I can't decide whether that sounds delicious or gross.
