A top 10:

Cleveland
Boston
Orlando
Milwaukee
Detroit
Atlanta
Miami
Philly
Toronto
Indiana

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

That's true, unfortunately.

Solid list. I agree down the line.

John Paxon, you should be ashamed. You had a good coach, talent, draft picks, and trade chips and you blew it. You should be contending for a title but instead your about to lose your job.

Oh sure, certainly. I was assuming decent health to anyone. Unlike Detroit and Atlanta, the Bucks are not well equipped to deal with injuries on their best players. Redd is not even their most valuable player, Bogut is (they are one of the top defending teams after the BOS/CLE/ORL troika and a top3 rebounding team with Bogut), but he's important, as now, to put points on the board, they'll have to play CV and Sessions, two defensive sieves, a lot more, even when they're being inconsistent offensively. But Bogut is also out and has missed lots of games with a back injury; Bell, their best defensive guard, has been injured for most of the season as well; so, at this point, the ranking I attributed to them is mostly theoretical.

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.


I agree with your list the most. The Hawks are an odd group though, usually they only turn into a team of all Kobe's when we go against them, otherwise they seem pretty bad. Behind Cleveland, Atlanta would take my pick for 3rd best.
