I wouldn't be surprised if Charlotte or Minnesota finish higher then my pre-season ranking. It depends on much rookies Randy Foye and Adam Morrison can contribute as rookies. I think the loss of Ben Wallace will cause the Pistons to totally change their style of play, which should cause them to drop. I think some Piston fans are in a state of denial as to how valuable Big Ben really was to the team. It's time for a reality check in Motown. Also, I think it's going to take Chicago a while to develop some chemistry. I think they might be a season away from really contending in the east, but we'll see.

no way you can put phoenix above dallas nor should you have miami up top every single one of their players are one year older and when your team age average is close to 40 you start to go downhill. Detroit should be top3 at least all they lost was an aging undersized center and added the same center that helped san antonio stay in contention.
