Have to disagree

Celtics running away with division, followed by:
Nets (41 wins), then Sixers, Knicks (35 wins), Raptors.
Knicks, especially are over-rated.

Bobcats and Cavs should fall out of the playoffs with Nets and probably Wizards taking their places.

Every year there are 1 or 2 surprises and 1 or 2 disappointments in each conference.

I see the Cats in the playoffs

And the knicks as well… with 35 wins. then the nets with thirty. Sixers with 25, raps with 20.

East did better with draft picks (may take a while to show itself) and in free agency (Boozer, Amare) as well as trades (Murphy to Nets, Collison to Pacers)

No way 35 wins gets into the playoffs. East will match or exceed West for top 5 teams, but will definitely need 40-41 for playoffs. Charlotte took steps backwards at Center and PG, besides they have a washed up Najera now.

Celtics 57-25
Nets 37-45
Knicks 37-45
Sixers 33-49
Toronto 19-63

Consequences will never be the same.

STIFF LIST (as of 4/26 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. METTA WORLD PEACE

Metta resorted back to Ron Ron last Sunday by clubbing James Hardenwith an "inadvertent celebratory elbow", landing him a 7-game suspension. Apparently, changing his name didn't prevent NBA commissioner David Stern from overlooking Metta's past behavior problems.

2. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS

The 'Cats are on the verge of securing the worst winning percentage in NBA history. Given that the guy who runs the team - Michael Jordan - had previously drafted Kwame Brown and Adam Morrison, should this really be a shock?

3. OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
The team that was supposedly built to overcome the lockout-shortened season managed to lose 7 of its last 14 games, ceding the Western Conference's 1-seed to the Spurs in the process. Their reward might be a first round matchup with defending champion Dallas.

4. BILLY HUNTER AND DEREK FISHER

With report after report coming out about NBPA union head Hunter's shady, nepotistic dealings and questions arising about Fisher's own role in dealing with NBA owners behind Hunter's back during the lockout, this off-the-court scandal could prove to be more exciting than the playoffs themselves!

5. STEVE NASH AND THE PHOENIX SUNS
The Suns are on this list for squandering the last few great seasons from Nash. Nash is on this list for his stupidly stubborn loyalty to a franchise as awful as the Suns.
