The current chances of Boston posting a 72-10 record or better are 0.2%.The only good thing about this NBA season is that my beloved 1996 Bulls record looks to be safe. That being said here is the current playoff seeds projections by Hollinger:
Junior Varsity - 1.Celtics 2. Pistons 3. Magic 4. Raptors 5. Lebron James 6. Wizards 7. Hawks 8. 76ers
Varsity - 1. Hornets 2. Lakers 3. Suns 4. Jazz 5. Mavericks 6. Spurs 7. Rockets 8. Warriors
The only worthwhile match-up in the LEast is Celtics/Lebron vs.Pistons
On the other hand the West could have serious drama. I like the Hornets but they may be a year away, the Lakers need to be healthy and synchronized, it's wide open.
Current Finals Projection: Celtics vs. Mavericks

The Western Conference playoffs could be the best we have ever seen, considering that the conference has 10 teams well over .500. All four first round match-ups are very watchable. Also, watching Chris Paul in the playoffs will be exciting. Consider the possibility of a first round series between New Orleans and Utah. Williams vs. Paul will be must-see TV. With regard to the East, Celtics-Pistons could be a good series. LeBron against either the Celtics or Pistons could be good, but I get the feeling that the Cavs will not be around as long this year. I am sticking with my preseason prediction-Celtics vs. Spurs.
