9th place for New Jersey? WoW. You do realize they just lost Lopez for atleast a month & will be relying on newly acquired Mehmet Okur to shoulder the load at Center, right? I think that's an even bolder pick then me picking the Bulls to win it all.

I've seen stranger things happen with teams weathering storms like that. To me, with Lopez they are a playoff team. The East is a crap shoot after the top 4 four though.

Diddy1122 · 12-22-2011, 11:54 PM

Interesting, BNB. Warriors & Nuggets in playoffs. I got Warriors just missing it. I think they will be in the hunt til the end but will come up short. Nuggets, without Smith & Chandler, I don't see anyway how they would make the post-season.

The East is really nothing but Chicago, Miami, & New York now. Pacers I feel will be the over achievers this season because there isn't 1 lazy body on that team. It is a 10-deep team of hustle players. Even though they are in our division, and can play rather dirty, I can't help but find myself rooting for them because of their tremendous work ethic.

I really think the acquisition of Rip Hamilton will be enough to put the Bulls over the Heat, and Bulls/Thunder really isn't too much of a struggle in my opinion.
