NBA.com Poll Question - How Far will the East-Leading Raps go this Year?

lol. the poll says that we either lose in the first round or make it all the way to the east finals. Theres no inbetween

Maybe that's why so many predict the East Finals, because they think early exit = 1st round, whereas I think NBA.com interprets early playoff exit as 1st or 2nd round.

I'm optimistic about East Finals, as the only team that I'm confident is better than the Raps is the Bulls, but Hawks, Wizards and Cavs are all tough teams as well. It'll be tough.

I put a tenner on Raps to win NBA at 50/1 back in October, so I'm going with "NBA Champs" lol.

In all seriousness... I think we're good enough to reach East Finals.. what happens next, no one knows.

I'd be super happy with an ECF appearance. Going from a first-round exit, first playoff appearance in five years, straight to the ECF would be fantastic and it looks like it's within reach.

Honestly though, if Cleveland keeps struggling anything is possible in this year's East, isn't it? The Raps could win a series against any of top East teams if they played really well - Chicago would be the toughest, but the 2nd and 3rd rounds should provide some good match-ups.
