In my previous post, I described how I analyze teams. The chart below shows what happens when I apply my method of analysis to the teams in the East.
Using that as a starting point, I predict the following seeds for the Eastern Conference playoff teams:
1. Orlando
2. Boston
3. Cleveland
4. Atlanta
5. Miami
6. Chicago
7. Charlotte
8. Washington
