      I don't get how we are worse than Indiana, Detroit, Nets, or Cavs.

        New York Knicks 8th seed?? why?

        New York Knicks 8th seed?? why? Because of Amare and Felton...give me a break!!
        Ahh... this is because the biased American media wishing New York actually had a good team.

        The top 6 teams in the ranking make sense.
        The only other thing that makes sense is that there will be very few
        wins of difference between 7th and 15th spot;

        In my opinion the bottom 4 are Nets, Raptors , Knicks and Cavs;
        and I think the Raps will better than all these teams, so that' d make them the 11th seed;

          The Jays were predicted to lose 100 games this season and finish near the bottom with Baltimore.
          Definitely no reason to overreact, especially to ESPN's drivel.

            It's a toss up but I think the Raptors will compete for worst team in the conference. Does anyone know where Arsenalist's Colangelo's 10 Biggest Mistakes article went? I read it this morning and it wasnt on the site when I got to work.

                Ok I hate to be the partybreaker here but all of you guys are overrating this team TOO much. Did you forget where they had the Raptors last season?? ninth in the standings with a 39-43 record, that pretty much exactly what we had the previous season.

                http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/s...-EastStandings

                I'm don't think the Raptors will be as bad as they have us on their standings this season, but lets not overate this team.

                What Im saying is lets not expect too much from this team.

                  They also added Azubuike, Turiaf and Anthony Randolph... They're better than the Raptors and have a far better coach. I think 8th seed is a legit prediction for them.

                      As a consultant. He'll probably offer prospect advice/analysis, something he's always been very good as doing. His problems stemmed around managing money, not evaluating young talent.

                        Have a far better coach?

                        Triano was 40-42 in his first season as an NBA coach

                        D'Antoni baloney was 35 - 76 in his first two seasons. He was lucky that his first season was a short one

                          Triano has a GM making moves to try and win games. D'Antoni had a GM trying to cut cap with no concern about winning games. Why don't you be fair and compare their records when both had a GM who was trying to win games? Better yet, why don't you compare their records when they have the same boss?

                            Yeah, i look at the lineups of the Knicks, Pacers, Nets, Cavs, and Wizards, and I do not see anything very impressive.

                            I guess the thing with the Raptors is that there are a lot of question marks. Can Amir be a legit starter? Will DeRozan have improved his game significantly? Is Weems a legit 20+minute a game player? Can Bargs step up? Is the 3 going to be an open bleeding sore? Will Calderon still be here, and if he is will he be able to play to his full abilities?

                            I am optimistic about the answers to all those questions, and if everything goes as it could we could be the 8th or 9th team in the conference. But I can understand people who don't follow the team not really getting what's up with it.

                                Heck. Why not blame it George Bush, even if he wasn't POTUS at the time.
