  • I mean I’m looking at the top 10 teams in the East right now and basically the Pacers and Magic have swapped places with the Nets and the Bulls.

    But even beyond that look at the top 10 teams in the East.

    Celtics,Magic*,Bucks,Heat,Sixers,Knicks,Pacers*,Cavs,Hawks and Raptors.

    The Nets lost KD,Kyrie and Harden so their spot makes sense,the Bulls are having chemistry issues or something.

    But also these past few seasons it’s been the Bucks,Heat and Celtics winning the East or getting to the ECF.

    Also theres a weird dynamic going on with the Heat,Bucks and Celtics. They usually only lose to each other in the playoffs. Also the Sixers have made top 4 these past few seasons and have lost to the Heat and Celtics as well.

    That being said i do think the Magic have potential to either make it to the top 4 in the playoffs or even an ECF appearance.

    Basically i think the Magic are a potential dark horse followed by the Knicks,Pacers and Cavs.

    That being said unless something drastic happens i can see the Celtics,Magic*, Bucks,Heat,Sixers and Knicks being the top 6 teams in the East. I think Knicks stay at 6 but the top 5 could honestly flip flop in any order.

    All that to say i feel like the East has established a new stable order(Bucks,Heat,Celtics and Sixers) seem to be the top 4 teams. Any other first round opponent besides the Heat last year and i think the Bucks get to the 2nd round or hell even the ECF. I think they beat the Knicks in a playoff series.

    Celtics swept the Nets two seasons in a row, and the Sixers have only lost to the Heat and Celtics these past two seasons.

    The West is definitely interesting though.

    I think the Wolves could possibly get revenge on the Nuggets or push them to 7 games. The Suns and Lakers are also pretty interesting.
