At this point in the summer I am going to break down who I think is going to land in the playoffs after the nine.ten. This is based on what has happened so far around the league.
Western Conference Playoffs:
1. Los Angeles Lakers
2. San Antonio Spurs
3. Portland Trailblazers
4. Dallas Mavericks
5. Denver Nuggets
6. Utah Jazz
7. Phoenix Suns
8. New Orleans Hornets
Easter Conference Playoffs:
1. Cleveland Cavaliers
2. Boston Celtics
3. Miami Heat
4. Orlando Magic
5. Chicago Bulls
6. Atlanta Hawks
7. Toronto Raptors
8. Indiana Pacers
The turnover from last year is small with the Suns replacing the Rockets in the Western Conference and the Raptors and Pacers replacing the Sixers and Pistons in the Eastern Conference. There is however, some movement in the standings, except at the top.
