The Eastern Conference...
1. Detroit
2. Cleveland
3. Washington
4. Toronto
5. Chicago
6. Miami
7. Indiana
8. Orlando
The Western Conference
1. Dallas
2. Phoenix
3. San Antonio
4. Utah
5. Houston
6. LA Lakers
7. Denver
8. LA Clippers
Which would mean matchups in the first round of:
East...
Detroit vs Orlando
Cleveland vs Indiana
Washington vs Miami
Toronto vs Chicago
All four series would be real ripsnorters! No clear cut winners for any, but I'd select Detroit, Cleveland, Miami (if Wade's back & playing well), & Toronto.
West...
Dallas vs LA Clippers
Phoenix vs Denver
San Antonio vs LA Lakers
Utah vs Houston
Dallas & Phoenix would win those matchups in 4, but could be interesting in the other two series. I pick Dallas/Phoenix/LA/Houston (assuming Yao's good).
