Rockets for West. That's explainable. With Yao back, they're definitely gonna be a play-off team. Wizards for East. They made a huge load of moves this off-season. Or maybe even Knicks.
Regular Top 8 Top 10 actually always competing for a play-off spot in the West. Those teams are too good for the Knicks. The West is to tight. They won't do it this year.
No, they can't make the play-oggs but can win more than 40 games. The West is always tight. I don't see any Regular Top 8 teams going lower than the 8th spot so it's gonna be tough for the Knicks.
