The whole Central division is over .500 and there are only 2 other teams that are over .500 in the whole conference. I think any of the Central teams would win the Atlantic if they played in that division. What do you think the chances are for the whole Central division to finish over .500? Make the playoffs?

Huh, I didn't realize the NBA season had started.

I think there is a really good chance that whole central could make the playoffs. Obviously the Heat are going to make the playoffs and one team from the East, and then 5 from the central still is only 7 teams.

I see New Jersey finding a way to get in. I think Philly will win the east and Boston doesnt have enough to compete with teams in the central.

The only thing holding the central back is they have to play each other 4 times. The other avg. teams in other conferences get to beat up on the not so good cellar teams like, Toronto, Orlando, Charolette, Atlanta, New York.

I think if anyone from the Central misses out it will be the Bucks, but they are playing good right now so we will see.

I think the Bucks make it over the Bulls this season. It seems like all the moves they made this past off season worked out for them. The Bulls lost a lot from last years team.

Well it could go either way, but I just thought experience from making the playoff run last year would help and the Bucks have been playing a little over their head IMO. We shall see.
