The Chicago Bulls added a boat load of talent in the free agency but Rose taking the next step is what they need to challenge for a title
This could be the year of the bull. Or maybe you could say the year of the Chicago Bulls (41-41). Last season, the Bulls made it into the playoffs after finishing third in the Central and eighth in the Eastern Conference. But this was a team that over the years has been defined by inconsistency. That should be the Bulls’ goal this season—consistent play. They have a sound nucleus that is speedy, and new coach Tom Thibodeau has arrived with a reputation for creativity and an effective management style.

We are not expecting the Bobcats to make it back to the postseason in a improved Eastern Conference
The Charlotte Bobcats (44-38), under the direction of coach Larry Brown, finished fourth in the Southeast and seventh in the East last season. It was their first time in the postseason. The Cats met the Orlando Magic in the initial round of the playoffs and lost to them in four straight. That was a stellar season for a team that was overall mediocre. Can master coach Larry Brown get this year’s Bobcats back to the postseason? One thing is for sure—doing so won’t be easy.

Expect the Magic to be right up there with the Heat and Celtics as the top teams in the East
In 2009-2010, the Orlando Magic (59-23) once again went to the playoffs after finishing first in the Southeast division and second to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference. They have been and look to continue to be one of the top three teams in the East.  But somehow the Magic have to work some magic and transform themselves into the best club in that conference. That will be difficult for them to do with the upgrades Miami has added.

The Hawks overpaid for Joe Johnson in the offseason but he will keep Atlanta towards the top of the Eastern conference
In 2009-2010, the Atlanta Hawks (53-29) posted the third best record in the East and second to Orlando in the Southeast Division. They did it mainly with offense and were helped by the fact that they were one of the few teams that simply did not have to deal with any major adversity from the injury bug. An exact repeat of last least will not be in order, but this is certainly a team that has playoff potential.

John Wall Wizards Guard
The Washington Wizards are hoping John Wall can turn around thier franchise
The Washington Wizards (26-56) will have to be Harry Potter like in order to get a playoff slot. Rebuilding is the name of the game for Washington. The good news is that they won the draft lottery and got Kentucky point guard and potential NBA star John Wall. That was a great initial step. They also made a smart move by getting rid of high payroll players such as Brendan Heywood, Antwan Jamison and Caron Butler.

In the Eastern Conference, the second seed Boston Celtics (62-20) take on the seventh seed Chicago Bulls (41-41). In their three-game regular-season series, the Celtics were victorious twice. There is concern as Boston lost to Chicago in the final match-up by a score of 121-127. But Boston has been on a roll, winning eight of their last 10, while Chicago has gone 7-3 over the last 10 games.

As the 2009 MLB season opens, you can’t help but give the futures market one more look. This 162-game, 30-team, seven-month drama is just about impossible to predict. That would explain the fact that although the Yanks have been the favorites to win it all every year in this century, they have finished out of the running each time. Here’s how it looks as far as futures wagering goes.
