    Bucks wont make playoffs - they have no center and 3 powerforwards with limited offensive games and 2 point guards who score and hog the ball
    The Bucks got Samuel Dalembert for free.

        Why does everyone think the bulls will make the playoffs - even if they have their coach - they lost Asik, they lost rose, their bench has been gutted (only taj remains) - who will score for them - they will be the raptors from last year - good defence but absolutely no Offense
        I have them in the playoffs for the following reasons:
        1. Great coach that gets them to play not just good defense, but elite defense
        2. Veteran team
        3. Deng and Boozer will get more touches and both are capable of being 20 point scorers
        4. Everyone else at the bottom of the playoff race is just that bad.

          -1 - very wrong assessment (Boozer is done, Deng cannot get his own shot, heinreich is a SG - bulls are out of playoffs)

                Where do you have them? I think 7th is reasonable. I don't think they're that good by any means nor do I think they can get past the first round of the playoffs, but they have enough talent to make it in.

                    I think we can all agree that at best we'll be a 7 or 8 spot team.

                          1: Miami Heat
                          2: Boston Celtics
                          3: Brooklyn Nets
                          4: Indiana Pacers
                          5: New York Knicks

                          7: Toronto Raptors
                          8: Washington Wizards

                          10: Milwaukee
                          11: Atlanta
                          12: Orlando (assuming Dwight Howard is gone)
                          13: Detroit
                          14: Charlotte

                          Jason Kidd will really turn the Knicks around in my opinion, him and Felton will be a really nice back-court.
                          Washington is being run by an inconsistent talent, whatever happens with him and Beal will be the story of next season.
                          Chicago's former MVP and his injury will be a step-back, but that doesn't take away anything that this team was very good without him.
                          Indiana, with the addition of DJ Augustin, retaining of Hibbert and George, and after a nice playoff run and match-up against Miami, I see the team growing and improving.
                          Brooklyn is still an 'iffy' for me, whether Humphries really is what he is (good stats on bad teams), the injury problems for Lopez, and the overall chemistry. Team looks good on paper, so I'll give them a top 3.
                          Boston with the additions of Jason Terry, and Courtney Lee, they've added youth and very good production in the back-court. Added young bigs Fab Melo and Jared Sullinger (possibly a draft steal), this is a re-tooled team, IMO, better than last season.
                          Miami. Well, LeBron James, say anything more? Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis to the fold?

                            I agree with RaptorReuben's comments, except for two things:

                            I think Kidd is done. I don't think he brings anything positive to the table at this point. I guess one plus is that the Knicks dont need a penetrating point guard (although Lin showed that one helps. And Felton is a below average guard. I think that the knicks backcourt is going to be a disaster. I'm actually leaning more and more to thinking they will miss the playoffs unless Stoudemire really steps up his play.

                            Also, I think the bulls will really miss asik, Korver, etc.

                              Yeah really starting to think, New York will be an interesting watch.

                              For Chicago, additions of Marquis Teague, and Kirk Hinrich should hold good ground for them. Even though they lose size, and shooting, they add a good point guard and a good shooter. Plus this thread is pre-mature, Chicago may not be done making moves.
