2010-11 NBA Predictions: The Post-Miami Apocalypse in the East

October 4th, 2010 by Dan Meadows Leave a reply »
So after free agency and more than a few trades, the NBA landscape has been reshaped dramatically.  In this piece, I'll run down how I see the new-look Eastern Conference playing out, and later, it's a look at the West. 

There's been much talk about the "improved" and "deeper" Eastern Conference since all of the transactions began.  Really?  Where, exactly, do you see that much improvement? 

Sure Miami and Chicago will be better and Milwaukee might be better, but Orlando, Boston and Atlanta will stay about the same (or regress), with Cleveland totally falling apart and Charlotte likely following. 

None of the non-playoff teams from last year improved significantly, either, with the possible exception of Indiana and maybe New York. 

There are possibly 12 or 13 teams in the West who could be legitimate playoff-caliber clubs.  The East has 6, maybe 7.  That's some improvement, all right.
