The Atlantic Division used to be a cakewalk for the Celtics... I don't see that being the case again for a long time coming. Just look at the teams and what they have done/attempting to do so far this offseason.

Celtics- Buffing up the roster, looking deeper, great coach, great chemistry, and poised to make a big playoff run if everything works out. Not much else to say

Knicks- Pretty sure this team was 18-6 or something like that under Wooden. Now hes coaching the whole year. Ton of talent on this team, I think they're gonna have a big year and be a tough team to beat

Nets- Biggest story of the offseason so far. Williams is staying, Wallace is staying, got Joe Johnson, and D12 is doing everything in his power to make his way over to them. The scary part: their billionaire owner can afford to buy his team. They're definitely up and coming in their new Brooklyn market

Sixers- Well coached, balanced, deep team and was on track to winning the division last year before their meltdown. Could argue they were a superstar away from seriously contending (though they knocked off the Bulls and took us to game 7 in the semis). Looking to get that star, but either way this team is poised to have a winning season.

Raptors- Still a question mark but they look to be making strides. Might be getting Nash, good front court between Bargnani and Valuanciunas, and well coached. Will probably do better than last season.


To sum up, every team in the Atlantic is getting tougher. This is gonna be a scary conference come next season. Lets see how well our Celtics hold up
