Embiid is the most beloved Philly athlete since Iverson. Only way he’s ever making it out of town is if HE wants out or at the end of his career if he’s asking for too much money.

And who are the teams in the West that folks need to be worried about outside of GSW?

Maybe, but I don’t think it’s by as wide a margin as you do. In a playoffs series, assuming full health for each team, I think it would be a toss-up between the East teams you mentioned and Denver and OKC.
But If what you mean is the team that comes out of the East to go to to the Finals is going to have a harder path than GSW probably will, then yes, I agree.

Remember how LeBron ran thru the east with tyronn Lue as his second best player? Now those teams are better than his new team? Lol

People high on Denver huh. I’m still of the mindset you need at least one superstar to win a round in the playoffs.

The Celtics went to the ECF without a superstar last year

Thanks for pinging me here.
There are a few franchises in the sports world where anything less than a championship is a failure, the likes of which we have never seen before. The Lakers are that franchise in the NBA. They do not rebuild, they reload. 2nd round exits are embarrassing to them. WCF appearances are moral victories. Losing in the finals is worse than finishing with the worst record in the NBA. Everyone wants to sign with them, as evidenced by the signing of LeBron. If they do not win it all this year they will be better off blowing it up

I don't know why but I'm not surprised to see Detroit up that high.

Palace was Garbage for the past 10 years.
The new arena is not like that I am pretty sure.

Can't remember last time I ate food at an arena that wasn't served to me in an actual package like peanuts or something. Usually hit up Qdoba on Causeway and grab maybe one beer at TD. Everything is dumb expensive.

Oracle, the arena that had staph infections running wild, is #1? Sounds about right.

Man the playoffs are different style of game. You better be able to have a killer iso player when the game slows down in June.
Bron beat the Boston, Indiana, and Toronto basically by himself.
OKC is meshing well
Houston going to figure it out
Lakers are better than last years Cavs
Portland can wash any team in the East on any given night.
Utah ain’t no slouch either
Man season won’t even start until the all star break. Way too much overreacting in this thread

Dis man brought up the Rockets and Utah.
Saying "on any given night" is a blanket statement. Portland ain't better than the top 3 teams in the east in the East.

We ain’t even half way through the season and people think this is what these teams will look likeDis man brought up the Rockets and Utah.

Just keep watching and the same story that’s played out for the last 10 years will play out again. Only a hand full of teams have ever won the chip in the history of the nba. Milwaukee, Toronto, and Philadelphia will end up in the same place they always do watching the finals at home.
