Before Boston, they were the Big three. Agent 0, Butler and Jamison all averaged over 18 points a game last year. Thats the only 3 that did that. Agent 0 averaged 28 for gods sakes. They also led in steals I think. Besides Boston, can they win the East if Healthy? Last year they lost all three for the year at the end.

I would pick orlando over them. Gotta remember... Gilbert and Antawn sometimes struggle and shoot 24%... it is so ugly on paper.

Nope there is no way they can win the East. Not with the team they have now anyway. Detroit is still the B-Ball savvy team of the East, Lebron may have dismantled them but their still to be reckoned with. The Cav's would beat the Wiz's in the playoffs as well. I'm also pretty sure Boston could take them as well. Outside of those three teams they have a shot to beat any of the other teams in the East in the playoffs.

They can but they have to play more consistenly. Consistency is the key and Jamison and Butler can carry the team as we've seen against Dallas a couple weeks ago. Andray Blatche is looking great too and i think he could emerge as a great center. I don't know if they'll be able to keep up with Orlando though, they're looking like a great team.

its the East so they can probably make the 7 or 8 spot but I'm almost certain they won't get out of the first round healthy or not..they're better this year without Gilbert Arenas if you ask me

No, wrong chemistry...you can't win with a PG that doesn't distribute and you can't win without an interior defender that can defend the rim.

They would have a good shot, but you have the Magic and Pistons. If healthy I think they would finish 4th or 5th.
