2007-2008 NBA Picks

So the NBA is getting underway, I figured I would put up my predictions here so we could all have a laugh in about a month or so. One note, looking at espn and almost everywhere else, I feel like people have forgotten that the wizards would have been serious contenders to get to the finals were their two best players not injured. They are being completely ignored, and in some cases not even picked to make the playoffs. Well, better that then being the favorites I guess.

The East

1. Boston
2. Toronto
3. Washington
4. Chicago
5. Orlando
6. Detroit
7. New Jersey
8. Miami
9. Cleveland
10. Milwaukee
    
11. Charlotte
12. Atlanta
13. Indiana
14. New York
15. Philadelphia

The West

1. Phoenix
2. San Antonio
3. Denver
4. Houston
5. Dallas

11. New Orleans
12. L.A. Lakers
13. L.A. Clippers

2007-2008 Award Tour

I'm curious what you think, put your picks in the comments if you'd like.
