Almost one third of the season gone and not one team is above 500. What is wrong, with the teams...it is the softest division.

Injuires are the reason
Toronto: Chris Bosh and Pape Sow
New Jersey: Nenad Krstic and Clifford Robinson
New York: Quentin Richardson and Steve Francis
Boston: Paul Pierce, Kendrick Perkins, Michael Olowokandi, and Theo Ratliff
Philadelphia: Chris Webberand Shavlik Randolph

OMG...it's pathetic! I'm a Blazer fan and I only wish we could be in the Atlantic. People talk like NJ are so great, but...come on! look at their record! The dominance in the NBA has switched again to the West. Miami? Detroit? nope. the finals will be won by a team from the west this year.
And injuries aren't the reason...Kristic went down yesterday. Toronto sucked before Bosh went down. Knicks were healthy and were still awful. In Boston, Al Jefferson is playing WAY better than perkins ever did, Theo will never be healthy again, and wasn't healthy coming into the season and is a nonfactor. Philly was sucking with a healthy webber and with ai...it's just that these teams are really awful...I mean, the Knicks were horrible last year...it's no surprise that they are still awful.

Dubme is retarded.
Obviously fails to recognize that portland is a terrible team and would probably fair the exact same in any division.
The Raptors had a bad start with the road trip, and have been without Bosh for a while now, and after the road trip they've mainted a record above .500.
New Jersey is an unconsistent team, you watch and see them go for a huge winning streak and easily make it in the playoffs.
Philadelphia just sucks.
New York needs a roster adjustment.
Expect to see a turnaround very soon.

Really, really bad. With those teams making the playoff, I bet they would pass the first round.
