NBA Atlantic Division Predictions

[Kiddlovesnets]

This is a pretty good assessment, although I see the Knicks being better then the nets. Dantonis going to have them humming up and down the court.
I also see the Raps putting pressure on the C's for first. Might not be popular for me to say this, but I also see Philly just above .500.

Lol you should change your username to RAPSCANWINONLYINREGULARSEASON and it will become more realistic.

I'm sorry but the Knicks are going to suck as they were last season and honestly, the Raps can't win in postseason and no way they're going to challenge the Celtics...

Yeah Yeah ...good one, you got me that time.

And your right, we havent won a playoff series since beating the Knicks several post seasons ago. However the 2008/2009 Raps should be the best we've had years. I do think we'll challenge the C's this year, why you ask? because we've gotten better and they have not.

The Raptors should be better than last year but how come they're able to challenge the Celtics when even teams like the Lakers/Rockets arent.

1. Celtics
2. Sixers
3. Raptors
4. Knicks
5. Nets

[Nets fan 93]

1. Boston Celtics - I think they'll win 60+ games again this season and win the Eastern Conference as well.
Predicted Record - 64 -18

2. Philadelphia 76'ers - I see them gelling quickly and winning 50 games this season. They won't make it far in the playoffs though. I think it'll take them another year to qualify as true contenders for a championship.
Predicted Record - 50 -32

3. Toronto Raptors - They'll be barely edged out in the regular season by Philly, though I see them making more noise in the play-offs.
Predicted Record - 48 - 34

4. NY Knicks - I think they'll come close to 40 wins this season in a new rejuvenated system.
Predicted record - 37 - 45

5. NJ Nets - I don't see the Nets winning 40 games this season. I see them neck and neck with the Knicks as the seller dwellers of the Eastern conference.
Predicted Record - 34 - 48

Switch the Nets record and Knicks record and I'll be happy.

How are knicks rejuvinated?
Did they get rid of Randolph? No
Did they get rid of Marbury? No
Did they draft a player that is playing the same position as Ewing, Chandler, Rich? Yes

Did they trade Balkman for nothing? Yes

Yeah they are really rejuvinated.

Nets have more talent imo

Harris
Carter
Simmons(isnt as bad as you think) he will be a starter again.
Yi
Boone/Lopez not sure but are both good.

Dooling is better than Duhon
CDR is better than... umm.. you guys still have jones?
Hayes is imo better than Gallo
Swat<Lee but Swat is still good
Brook>>>>>>James

im seeing a much better season than the Knicks.

Can someone explain to me how some people have the Knicks over the Nets? The Knicks are not winning more than 30 games until Chumpbury and Z-Burger are gone.

matchups. The Lakers had Pau (who is a softie) on KG but the Raps are gonna put JO (bigger and stronger than Pau) on KG + you add the fact that both the Raps' big men can score so if KG is guarding Bosh then JO will score over Perk and vice-versa for Bosh.

Interesting, but I'd make an avatar bet with anyone on this board that there's simply no way for the Raptors to upset Celtics in a best of seven series.

Yeah cuz firing Isaiah, replacing him with Walsh, and D'Antoni, getting a high draft pick, and the emergence of Chandler mean noting. @ some of you.

Boston: (62-20)
Philly: (52-30)
Toronto: (47-35)
New York: (30-52)
New Jersey: (24-58)

This was never about winning in a 7 game series. Its about challenging them for the Atlantic division. And by the way, challenging doesnt mean the Raps are going to win the division, it simply means they will put alot more pressure then last year. Why? cause the Raps got better and the C's didnt.

[danumber88]

1. Boston (lock) 55+ wins

2. Raptors 42 wins + / Philly 42 wins +

3/4 NJ or Knicks, i trust the Knicks will add saoem more wins now that Gallinari is added to the roster, sitll no signs of changes. NJ lost some players, w'ell see how they hang on

28 wins top. or lower.

[Real Men Wear Green]

This Knicks/Nets argument is a laugh. "No, you won't win 30 games, we will! The fifth spot in the lottery is ours!" I'm so glad the Cs stopped sucking like that.
