not as record would show, but rank how you think the East stacks up Power wise this season.

1. Boston
2. Cleveland
3. Atlanta
4. Orlando
5. Miami
6. Detroit
7. Toronto
8. New York
9. Milwaukee
10.Philadelphia
11.New Jersey
12.Charlotte
13.Washington
14.Chicago
15.Indiana

and i have Atlanta as my 3 becuase if you have a big man that can atleast hold back dwight howard (as the big teams in the NBA do) then you can destroy their whole offense becuase its based on Dwight getting doubled then making the pass to the open shooter.

15 .Washington

Is a rough list off the top of my head. I'm not sure Toronto should even be that high though.

Atlanta does not play with consistent effort and they are too reliant on Bibby playing well to balance out their team to be ahead of Orlando.

This is dead on...we're talking about this year, not who won last years championship, and this year the cavs are better than us as of right now... pretty clear to see, good to see someone else can admit it

As for the OP, how is Indiana 15, have you seen them play? and Atlanta better than Orlando? what big man do they have to keep Dwight in check again? The Magic would sweep the hawks as far as im concerned, the hawks give us problems, thats about it

Youre not champ unless you beat the champ when it counts.

Dear Edgar... oops wrong thread.

It's not who I think is going to win, it's who I think is playing the best. The Cavs are 20-0 at home and have the best player. But come playoff time I don't think the Delonte's and the Mo Williams' will be able to play at that high a level. And even if they do, I think the Celts win in 7.

do you guys know that the tiebreaker after head to head record is conference record?
We have what has to be considered a big edge on cle on that one: they are 20-6 and we are 27-4. there is time for them to overcome that but i don't think they will if we stay about as healthy as we've been. (meanwhile, LA has had a supersoft schedule which is about to become much harder then our's). we are the best team in our conference and i don't care how anyone ranks it after Bos, Cle, orl.

i still want a longer big and a shooter added to the roster.

Michael Redd being done for the season will take Milwaukee pretty far down that list unfortunately.
