It does seem strange just b/c who ever would have thought the Wiz, but they are an up and coming team, should be better next year as their young guys are now a year older and they have an upgrade at SF, and as of now have as much of a chance as anyone to come out of the East (at least until we see how well Rose plays and if the Cavs make any serious upgrades). I'll probably root for them now that they have Pierce as long as the Cs are out of the picture.
