Reviewing the Forecast: Part Two, The Eastern Conference
Hi Bucks fans! Every year, I project how I think teams in the NBA are going to do in the regular season, and I give myself a grade at the end to evaluate my foreshadowing capabilities. Sometimes, it goes really well, and other times, not so much. So, here is what I said regarding the Eastern Conference, with nothing held back.
To start, I’m going to rank the teams based on my (not Vegas’) preseason odds to beat the Bucks in a hypothetical playoff series. This way, we can see where I had them, and where they wound up in the standings. The final standings are in parentheses
Indiana Pacers: 10,000 to 1 (11)
Orlando Magic: 1,000 to 1 (13)
Detroit Pistons: 997 to 1 (15)
New York Knicks: 100 to 1 (5)
