Yes. Embiid going to sit his normal 20. Heat probably banged and old but still there. Atlanta isn’t getting HC.
Like others have said they were top 5 last year until guys got hurt.

Pretty much where I am. Already a top offense and you add a guy that dragged those Utah teams to a top 10 defense with zero wing help. They're going to rack up wins in the regular season but yeah I think they max out in the 2nd round until Ant man is ready to ascend

I'm not there on Dallas yet. Too much weirdness I gotta see them play.
The Suns are frauds the Timberwolves would smack them around.

He went from zero to TWO, and got a huge upgrade from Conley.
They have options all over the floor, and one of the best 4-5 defensive tandems in basketball

The suns are out in R1 barring something drastic so I'm with you there. They need an actual #2 scoring option badly.
I can go either way on Dallas. The lack of scoring juice outside of Luka is concerning.

I just can't get Mitchell's defense out of my head. Even with Mobley and Allen behind him.

And they kept kevin loveDarius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen is a spooky lineupVery happy with this trade although they lost Sexton. Hope he has big success in Utah and anywhere else he ends up playing
Cavs going to be solid

The Bucks led by Giannis and Dallas led Luka are the two teams who knocked off Phoenix but we have…... KAT & Edwards smacking them around? Based on what?

They’ll need Okoro to step up. Agbaji was supposedly a better version of him but now he’s gone and Lauri too so they just need to fill in the 3 position

Bad guard defense can be hidden pretty easily and they have two good bigs. I'm not worried there. I think the Cavs will be better off depending on how much alone time with the ball Mitchell gets

Houston should be better, but between Houston, Utah, and San Antonio, that's like 12 potential wins for WC teams depending on how many times you play them.
I'd bet the over on quite a few of these west teams' totals.

I hope they thrive cuz I’m trae gang but their defense was so so bad. If Murray is a cure all then i guess. Their offense suffered at times too that been harped on here

They were top 3 in the East for most of the season before getting hit by injuries, and then they just upgraded one of the injured guys.

Can we cancel the All Star Game in Utah. What’s the point if you have nobody to even represent your state. They gonna have to bring out Stockton, Malone and Ostertag. Sad times we living in.

There's no secondary scorer over there, Chris Paul is another year older, the Suns had a road to the Finals littered with injuries to key players on the other end and still looked shaky.
I'm just not there man. They walked around with their chest out for an entire year and folded in the biggest game of their season. Not seeing it. They are Fools Gold to me.
