eastern conference:prediction of final standings:
1. heat
2. nets
3. bulls
4. pacers
5. team
6. knicks
7. team
8. team
team specific analysis:
nets - got 2 hof, if they keep them fresh look for nets to pose the only serious threat to heat, deron and these guys can drop buckets, then you add the old wise veterans, perfect mix
knicks - i don't know, turmoil in front office can threaten squad stability, coach woody is on hot seat all year, could win 50 but can just as easily lose 50
heat - balling, lebron should be in the hall of fame already, first guy to be hof without retiring,
bulls - big '?'; can drose drop buckets? is he the best player in the world after sitting a season?
pacers - hibbert george got the other guy coming back, should play good ball all year
bucks - don't know
