Eastern Conference Reports - 2.19.08

We know how crazy it's been with the New Jersey Nets, so let's move on. How about them Sixers? Could they actually be making a playoff run? Well, it is the Eastern Conference... anything is possible. Read what Brendan has to say about the Sixers recent play, as well as the other teams in the Atlantic Division Report.
With the strong bench play from the youngsters, would it be wise for the Detroit Pistons to make some moves in preparation for the playoffs? Well, they do have a ten-game winning streak, maybe they shouldn't, right? See what Tom has to say in the Central Division Report.
Hey, Jason Kidd wasn't the only point guard that got moved to another team recently. Mike Bibby, formerly of the Sacramento Kings is now with the Atlanta Hawks. This could be just the remedy for Bibby as he will be looked upon as a leader with the young Hawks. But, don't take my word for it... Kinnon Yee from HoopsAddict.com fills in for Austin this week and the guy obviously knows what he's talking about! Check out the Southeast Division Report!

The Hawks will be the surprise team coming out of the east. Bibby adds a whole new level to there team along with the other starters superb shooting so far this year. The Celtics are a little rusty coming off the break and so is Garnett but I bet by the end of this next upcoming week, they will be back to the old form they were in at the start of the year. There definitely the favorite and the team to beat. Something just tells me the Cavilers won’t be playing great basketball up into the playoffs. I just can’t see that new team coming together. GO SIXERS!!!
