Haha I am still debating on the 1-2 I just keep thinking of that stretch when Miami lost only like 2 games in 24 or some shit like that ... And the fact that teams will be gunning for us more vs last year, but our depth is a lot better for the season... I also want to see how quick Rip gets into the mix of things and if he starts

Hmm I might have to flip New York and Boston after this

A series of minor injuries wreaked havoc on the end of forward Amar'e Stoudemire's season. And a back injury in the playoffs pretty much sunk the chances of the New York Knicks to advance.
So Stoudemire isn't planning to play all 66 games next season in order to preserve himself for the postseason, the New York Post reports.
"Depending on how the games feel and add up, it may be smart to take a recovery day depending on how we are playing and what kind of approach we're taking toward that game," Stoudemire said, the Post reports. "It may be smart to take some recovery days."
Stoudemire averaged 25.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game last year.

Good order. That would be how I'd see it. Do the Bucks as a possible 8th seed?

Honestly to me its a crapshoot after 4th seed. Any one of those teams can be switched around.

Dunno, but the Hawks definitely didn't get that much, if any, better.

Ya they lost JCraw and I heard Bogut is healthy now :shrug: so you could be right!!

New Jersey is absolutely terrible. They may have D-Will and Lopez but they absolutely blow at SG, SF, and PF (especially if they do not get Humphries back). I do not imagine them having a better record than Boston or Milwaukee. Hell, Cleveland healthy is a better team than the Nets in all likelihood.

Boston will be hanging on for dear life with this condensed schedule (having KG and JO as their 5's). You might be right about them missing the playoffs. But I they are probably going to unless one of their all-stars gets an extended injury.
