The Southeast Division, Is The Best Division In The Nba

Not only is the Southeast division home to the best athletes and also has potentially four playoff teams in it, do the math thats half of the 8 seeds in the East and the wizards are still dangerous.

We all had the Heat,Magic,and Hawks coming out the Southeast into the playoffs but who would have thought the Bobcats.

Also the Southeast division could have about eight all stars going to Arlington,Texas. Dwyane Wade,Dwight Howard,Vince Carter,Joe Johnson,Josh Smith,Al Horford,Jamal Crawford, and Gerald Wallace. Needless to say its a ton of superstars in this division.

Another thing that makes this division so special is the athletic players it contains.

The most athletic player award for this division and maybe league wide would have to be Josh Smith. He has springs in his legs and has a nack for going up and bringing the round ball back down to the court.

The most proven scorer is unanimous and the winner is Dwyane wade. He can score from anywhere on the court and on any given night he can get you about 30-50 points not to mention how clutch he is.

The best big man award is Dwight Howard. He is a beast on the boards and has an arsenal that contains rim rocking dunks and an occasional jump hook. He also play's pretty good defense.

The most underrated award doesnt go to Joe Johnson for once, that belongs to Gerald Wallace. He scores 16 points per game and pulls down 11.8 rebounds undoubtedly the best rebounding numbers for a Small Forward in the league.

The sixth man award goes to Jamal Crawford. He can come off the bench and get 20 points and score some timely points for your offense.

The hardest worker award for me goes to Al Horford. He is playing out of position at Center and goes out every night bangs with biggest centers and manages to get a double double. As the old saying goes " Its not the size of the dog in the fight, its the size of the fight in the dog" and he truly embodies that timeless quote.

If i had to diagnose one weakness for the Southeast it would have to be the point guard play.

Raymond Felton is probably the only ideal point guard. The pass first mentality and set my teammates up first mindset, i expect him to get better as he grows older and wiser.

Next up is Mike Bibby he is a decent point guard but his body type causes problems against the more athletic point guards Rondo,Jennings, and Rose.

Jameer Nelson is more of the same as Bibby besides his body type. He actually is a shooting guard in a point guards body. He is a scorer at heart.

Gilbert Arenas is another guard playing out of position he loves to score also and he hurts his team more at point guard then he helps. he has bad decision making skills and commits a lot of turnovers.

Mario Chalmers is still learning a lot. In 1-2 years he should emerge into a great point guard he also is a great shooter.

Now i will give you my projections for where the teams will end up at the end of the regular season.

The Orlando Magic will be on top of the Southeast and the number 3 seed in the East with 56 wins and 26 losses.

The Atlanta Hawks are next up with the number 4 seed with 54 wins and 28 losses.

The Miami Heat are next on deck with 50 wins and 32 losses.

The Charlotte Bobcats are projected to go 46 wins and 36 losses.

Last but not least the Washington Wizards with 42 wins and 40 losses winning the 8th and final playoff spot.

Numbers dont lie and the stats for these teams put them over the top as the best division is basketball. Long Live the West!
