I dont agree with your assesment of the eat because I think the Bulls willl be very tough. If Rose is 75% the player he was before the injury they should win the east this year. Noah, Gasol and Gibson are a great group of bigs who compliment each other very well. On the wings the bulls have alot of depth with Dunleavy, Butler, Snell and the Rookies Mcdermott and Mirotic. I think this group is going to come together to give the bulls a very versatile SG/SF rotation with great size.
As for the Wiz vs Cavs I think that matchup comes down to Wall vs Lebron. Irving cant guard Wall or Beal and Pierce at this stage is really up against it with Lebron. If Wall absolutly dominates the Wiz win. If he is matches Irvings production the James is to much for them to overcome. I think a dark horse in this debate is also Washingtons depth in the front court Gortat, Nene, Humph, Blair and Seraphine are all big bodys and alot of fouls with may help to keep Lebron from running all over them.
i agree in some of your explanations but i don't think bulls trio of noah gibson gasol are better than humphries blair nene gortat gooden, maybe bulls bench are better but the reason the bulls are winning is because of noah 40minutes a game and augustin from last season, yes gasol is an upgrade over boozer, but most offense of the bulls come from the inside so wizards clogging the paint wouldn't be a problem
and yes the hawks almost beat the pacers, and pacers lose stephenson but still hawks are not winning on wizards nor cleveland
i pick cleveland because lebron will dominate the playoffs, he carried the heat to the finals many times and last playoffs, most players of the heat relied on lebron so much, what did chalmers wade bosh did to help win, even at least 2 wins?, and yes charlotte are easy opponents and in nets game, its lebron who dominated the game
wizards are a team for me that people think are not contenders but might surprised us, even without pierce they will still make the playoffs so facing the pacers again, loosing stephenson but replacing him with stuckey,
bigs vs bigs, scola west vs. gooden humphries pierce and gortat nene vs. hibbert and mahinmi should be enough
and again charlotte having lance is not a threat come playoffs, if they just rely on lance and jefferson, its not enough to advance 2nd round
lock down lowry and outrebound valencuinas, any team can win, never-mind ross and drozen
