Miami and Philly scare me the most in the East.

I kind of disagree. I think MIA was lucky more than anything to get as far as they did last year. They're a good team don't get me wrong but BOS is a stronger all around team if they can get it together. They need to cash in that $28M TPE though but who is there to get right now thats available? Personally i think they're gonna hold it until next offseason.
The Hayward loss doesn't really bother me but Walker's knee problems and missing so many games is a real issue. Tatum and Brown and some of the younger guys are gonna have to step up. They've got about 6 first round picks over the last 3 years that don't even play much. Im hoping at least 1 or 2 of those guys can produce. Trade them for something if you dont have faith in them. Get some value. I still believe they'll get it together by the end of the season though. Tatum and Brown are both going to average about 25+ PPG each this season. And they both play pretty good defense. Any team that's got 2 players like that usually does pretty good. And if they can get a healthy Walker averaging 20+ for a post season run they'll be fine. Don't discount Smart either. He's not a great offensive player but he's one of the best at his position on defense.
