Miami playing like it's 2010

[Jeremiah Hill]

Probably the most competitive season yet.

I know its early but it seems like the Celtics, Magic, Nets, and Grizzlies have finally emerged as solid playoff teams.


I think there is still some room for shakeup, particularly in the West. There are some highly talented teams (Sacramento, LAL, San Antonio) that are currently on the outside looking in. Combine those with the 8 current playoff teams, and I think you have 11 teams in the West with a legitimate hope for a playoff position.

The East, IMO, is a little bit more cut and dry. The top 8 teams are about who you would expect to be the top 8 (although my soothsayer predictions had Cleveland as the 8 and Brooklyn as the 9). I wouldn't be surprised if the current top 8 went on the make the playoffs, barring any trading of talent around of course.
