And the winner is!!??

I have decided to make my predictions for the upcoming 2008-2009 NBA Season.  Of course I want the Raptors to go all the way, but the league has had so many different changes and there are some really good teams.  I still think the Raptors could go to the finals if the season plays out as follows.  

East Standings:

1. Boston

2. Cleveland 

3. Orlando

4. Philadelphia

5. Toronto

6. Detroit

7. Milwaukee

8. Atlanta

9. Charlotte

10. New York

11. Indiana

12. Chicago

13. Washington

14. New Jersey

15. Miami

West Standings:

1. New Orleans

2. Los Angeles Lakers

3. Utah

4. Los Angeles Clippers

5. Phoenix

6. Houston

7. San Antonio

8. Denver

9. Dallas

10. Golden State

11. Portland

12. Minnesota 

13. Oklahoma 

14. Memphis

15. Sacramento 

If you are wondering why some of these teams are so high on the rankings, click here.  Many have picked up some new players and made some great trades.... For example the clippers starting line up is:

Baron Davis

Cuttino Mobley

Al Thornton

Chris Kaman

Marcus Camby

Now thats hot.  

Here are my predictions on the playoffs:

First Round East:

Atlanta Def Boston

Cleveland Def Milwaukee

Orlando Def Detroit

Toronto Def Philadelphia

First Round West:

New Orleans Def Denver

Lakers Def San Antonio

Utah Def Houston

Phoenix Def Clippers

Second Round East:

Toronto Def Atlanta

Cleveland Def Orlando

Second Round West:

East Conference:

Toronto Def Cleveland

West Conference:
