Final Eastern Conference predictions

  1. Philadelphia 76ers
  2. Brooklyn Nets
  3. Milwaukee Bucks
  4. Miami Heat (I refuse to believe they will remain bad)
  5. Atlanta Hawks (slip one due to Miami surge + Collins injury)
  6. Boston Celtics (Tatum wills them up one more slot + BOS looooves playing MKE in the playoffs lol iykyk)
  7. Charlotte Hornets (slip due to injuries but stay out of 8 because of schedule)
  8. Indiana Pacers (better team than NYK and a wayyyyy easier schedule)

I promise I do not hate the New York Knicks. I know y’all love to claim media bias against them. This is purely based on their vs Indiana’s strength of remaining schedule and Indiana’s players being more playoff suited.

Those are the predictions. If I get it exactly right every single one of you has to Venmo me a $1. If any of them are wrong, I will remain poor.
