Central division

[joma]

Its going to be a really powerful division. Rank the five teams without trying to be a homer

mine are listed as follows

Indiana
Detroit
cleveland
miluakee
Chicago




the last two i just cant figure out what i want... i think it will be close between the bulls and milwuake. I keep chaning my mind on who i want. But ok.

I think theres a good chance all five teams can make the playoffs

 

[aggressivestyle]

Indiana and detroit are the set 1/2 as of now.

Cavs and the Bulls should follow(bulls ahead of cavs is possible) and Bucks should have a winning record as well and be right behind the bulls and us.

All 5 might make it to the playoffs. The central was the 2cd best division last yr. now i believe it's the toughest division.

Detroit
Indiana
Bulls
Cavs
Bucks

Indiana ( Took the Pistons to Game 6 without their 2nd best player Artest, they woulda won.)
Detroit ( My most hated team in the Division, I hope Larry Brown leaves these clowns)
Cleveland ( Yep, Sarunas Hughes James Haslem Z/Curry We are going to beat the above 2 teams once or twice this year.)
Chicago ( We bumped the baby bulls down a notch with hughes and sarunas, and Curry's future remains in question.)
Milwaukee (Hope you enjoy it down here Redd glad you stayed to get paid....150 million on Redd and Bobby Simmon? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA cough ha...)

Actually if we get Sarunas Haslem even Drew and Z or Curry we can take Detroit and Indiana to the breaking point. And trounce Chicago and bounce the Bucks with ease.

I think we are a little better than Chicago next season. We werent too much worse than them last season. We are improving our team greatly and I dont think the Bulls have done anything to improve. Of course they'll naturally improve from all their young players developing though.

I do think we may have the least depth in the central. I see all five teams making it.

i'm not a bulls believer.. i like their "d" but you don't know what your getting in curry-- and once team figure out gordon, i think he will not be as much a factor.

the wizards did a decent job on him in the playoffs..

They have had some noice drafts..Hinrich Gordon Deng Duhon Curry and Chandler look to be working out and Hinrich will be an all-star soon kinda a Steve Nash type player yes I said it he can shoot pass and run a team all at such a young age. Gordon is a beast, they questioned his shooting early on even compared him to Jamal Crawford he found his stroke and won the 6th man award. If he doesn't start next year then Skiles will be raising some eyebrows. However this team will be a force for a while. Indiana and Detroit will be there Detroit is on the decline imo Sheed and Ben are getting up there and they really have no young guys besides lol dare I say it...Darko. Indiana will be back as long as Artest can keep himself below the boiling point, should be fun to watch. And sorry but the Bucks won't be a playoff team. 150 mill on Redd and Simmons lol sorry thats just funny really just funny to me. Ford is coming back off a broken neck people are acting like he is going to be Magic Johnson or something and sorry but I'm not a Bogut beleiver sorry don't think he is the real deal. Like I said Indiana and Detroit will battle to win the division we will pull in 3rd followed by Chi-Town and Milwaukee. This is truly blossoming into the best division in basketball.

Indiana
Cavaliers
Detroit
Chicago
Milwaukee

Is what I think is gonna happen with the Central next season.

I'm placing this in the too hard basket for now. This divivsion is hot, but with Chicago and Cleveland yet to finalise rosters, I wont make my judgement. Let me say this, whoever has Eddy Curry at center finishes 5th.

 

[cdt]

What if we signed Z and Eddy Curry lol.... ahh I love loopholes..

1) Detroit - They stay here till something bad happens
2) Indy - They lose Miller, Artest is just a suspension waiting to happen, but their team play is just so good, hopefully Mike Brown can instill some of that on his new team
3) Cavs/Bulls - I cant call this one until the potential signings actually happen. The Bulls will be cash strapped for a while resigning all their guys, but they have a NICE set of young players and depth. Funny how all their picks from the last 3 years finally got it going last year. This is the rivalry of the central division for a while to come after the Wallaces get old and Artest is suspended for life. LeBron and Hughes are going to put the Cavs into Sportcenter's top 10 plays so many times its going to be sick.
5) Bucks - If T.J. Ford comes back to form, Simmons isn't a contract year phenomenon, and Bogut is half decent there is a very good team here, but those are big ifs. But if so, the whole top 5 is going to be pretty darn close.

I have a feeling Detroit is going to crumble. At the helm, Larry Brown is doing nothing for stability. It seems that he might even get fired. Even if he does come back, I think it'll just be a repeat and worse of last season's slow start. Meaning no #1 in the central for Detroit. I just don't see them improving their roster that much this season.

 

[Slim Sheedy]

i think it's premature to rank em yet.. because who knows what can happen.. but going from last season it would be this..

Detroit
Indiana
Bulls
Cavs
Bucks

 

[King]

I think the Bucks could potentially be a very good team. But there are too many question marks ssurrounding them for me. Ford's health, how good Bogut will be, how simmons will play after getting his big contract, etc.

I don't think the Bucks are for real but seriously where are they getting all this money...150 on redd and simmons and shareef just turned down 50 mill from them. Weren't they not able to pay Redd that much midway through the seaosn? Well I don't know whats going on with them if they found some hidden money or something but wtf..
