A team everybody has to watch out for in the East are the Toronto Raptors. They have the talent to sneak up and win the Eastern Conference.

Miami is toast now, looks like they might be heading towards a rebuild, they cannot rely on Wade and Bosh for very long, and South Beach aint looking too attrative for free agents anymore.

You also put Graham on the Raps squad...he barely played. Garbajosa played.

The Raps definitely had more balance and depth...but Wade is a better player than anyone on that Raps team, except that's only when healthy, which he's barely been for the last year or two. A lot for Miami rides on Wade regaining some kind of form close to his pre-LeBron days....and that seems very unlikely. And if he misses 20+ games again, they don't have the depth or talent to make things work.

I mean, if Wade goes down, who's their primary ballhandler? Chalmers? He's terrible in that role. Cole is fully a backup. Granger is effectively John Salmons out there at this point. Basically Deng has to step up big time, and he's a guy who's been struggling a little bit to maintain his performance, and has never averaged more than 3 asts.

I think Miami is a 40-45 win team at best, and put their likely record in the 35-45 win range.

Shit i knew i was forgetting someone

I guess they are really banking on napier to be that secondary ballhandler. If he cant then they would have to find someone to fill that hole. Their current roster is not a championship level and they are only getting older from now on.

[white men can't jump]

I was like 9 haha. I've always been a diehard though, I remember watching every game and talking shit afterwards with everyone else.

I'd give the raptors the pg and maybe the cb4 advantage. Other than that, that Miami team is better

I still say the Miami team is worse.. Bosh like he said isn't CB4 anymore as well. Calderon and Bargnani off the bench isn't too bad either, pretty sure Morris Peterson could put in more production than Wade and Granger. But at the same time I wouldn't know cos I'm too young

Lots of East teams will be fighting for contention, unless Spo is a great great couch I see them slipping to 7/8

Compare that to

Ford
Parker
Peterson
Bosh
Nestarovic

Bargnani
Calderon
Graham

That team won the third seed

Miami is overrated

Chalmers
Wade
Deng
Bosh
McRoberts

With a bench of

Napier/Cole
Granger
Birdman

Will at max get them a 7 seed, too many teams will be competing for seeds 3-6 this year

Indiana, Toronto, Washington, Charlotte, Atlanta, Nets will all be competing for those seeds, I find it hard to believe Miami will do well with a unhealthy Wade, and sucky bench.

alot of people are forgetting how good bosh is when he is the focal point on offence, i think he will surprise alot of people this year. everyone seems to forget he took a role that would require alot less of him but for the greater good of them team. with that being said i think the order will be like this.

1) Toronto Raptors 53 wins ( this is a raptors fan page i dont need to explain this )
2) cleveland 53 wins
3) miami 52 wins ( they are quietly putting together some real peaces to surround bosh with )
4) chicago 48 wins (i don't know why everyone keeps talking about rose, this is broy all over again. kids done)(this has more to do with the existing talent)
5) indiana 47 wins (i'm still amazed at how bad this team played to end the season )
6) atl 44 wins
7) washington 44 wins
8) broklyn 39 wins

ITS OUR TIME, OUR TIME IS NOW..............GET EM BOYS, WE GOT YOUR BACKS AS LONG AS YOU KEEP REPPIN THE RAPS

Yeah but how do we know he can be that guy again? There's a difference between a 26 year old banging bodies in the post and running the offence through him and a 30 year old shooter who doesn't play inside. We really don't have any idea what he'll look like this season

For everyone harping on the division leader thing. The question is mostly about how many wins teams will get. So if someone ranks a division winner outside the top 4, they think they will win less games than 4 other teams. You can shuffle the leaders into the top 4 yourself - presenting them as they are tells you a lot more about what the poster thinks about the quality of the teams.

That's true, we can get the fourth seed but still have a worse record than the team that's fifth.

As long as we win our division, it's all good.

I know its very early but how many games do you think the raptors will win and where they will stack up in the 2014/2015 season
I say 50 wins with the 4th spot
Keep in mind the east is going to be stronger
Cavs- Lebron, Bulls- Gasol&Rose, Hawks- Al Hoford is back, Wizards- The Truth, Pacers a bit drop off, and moreeeeee

1.Cavs- 60~22
2.Bulls- 56-26
3.Pacers- 51~31
4.Raptors- 50~32
5.Heat- 50~32
6.Wizards- 48~34
7.Hawks- 47~35
8.Bobcats- 44~38

My wildcard is the NYK's, i think they can win as anywhere between 35-50 games

1. Bulls
2. Cavs
3. Raptors
4. Pacers
5. Wizards
6. Hornets
7. Heat
8. Hawks

Everyone is sleeping on Pistons :s
I am telling you guys, SVG is a hell of a coach

My assumption
1. Pacers (assuming, they got their mindset straight)
2. Cavs (Blatt looks like a great coach)
3. Bulls (might be #2 if rose is back)
4. Raptors
5. Pistons
6. Heat
7. Hawks
8. Wizards

Yo, I think u r all forgetting that 3 teams from the same division CAN NOT finish in the top 4... U guys need to put in a southeast team in the top 4 just saying...
