Do you think Raptors and Sixers will be better than Detroit and Cleveland?

Question

I think so. What are your thoughts?

Answer 1

If LeBron stays healthy, no

If Detroit dosen't trade away any of it's starts (other then Maxiell), no

Answer 2

depends...just wait and see

Answer 3

Well, nothing can be said yet.  The Sixers and Raptors may not end up having good team chemistry.  Plus, the Sixers and Raptors could be plagued by injuries.  Who knows what's going to happen?  I say Sixers get the #3 seed and the Raptors gets the #4 seed.

Answer 4

Detroit needs an identity.

If they keep the same peices, I think they have another year or two at being 1 behind Boston. So, no on that.

But Cleveland? Pst, the Cavs. I was never a fan and am not. LeBron will take his first chance out of there. ('10 prob. to NY or NJ/Brooklyn)

Delonte West is solid, but when I look at the roster. Szcerbiak - overpaid

Ben Wallace- overpaid

Big Z - Overpaid

They need to start fresh, becuase their roster is not very good, even in the east. Their Finals run was because LeBron is a freak of nature. lol.

The 76ers and Raptors have the same problem. Keeping their big man healthy. O'Neal and Brand.

If they are both healthy, I see both teams being worse than the Pistons, but BETTER than the (sorry) Cavs.

Answer 5

raptors? depends. jermaine o'neal is good and then with bosh they'll be really good. sixers? heck no. just cuz they pick up brand will not make them better than pistons or cavs. although we are going to have to watch what detroit will do with their roster.

Answer 6

no they are not better and wont be better cleveland was just getting in rhythm with their new team at the end of the year and detroit is just too experienced...

Answer 7

No the pistons are the same team! they didnt get rid of no one! they were 2 wins from the NBA championship and the other two teams are no where close. Maybe when the pistons start unloading these guys, but until then they are the second best team in the east

Answer 8

Better than Cleveland yes!!

Answer 9

No

Answer 10

I think the both Raptors and 76ers are already better than the Cavs, but Pistons have the experience, and they are not too old yet, so I would think Pistons will still be the 2nd best team in the East.
