I actually think the East will be as deep or deeper than the West this Season. BOS, NJ, PHI, TOR, MIL, MIA should all be legit. ATL got better too. LAL, LAC, DEN, DAL, & maybe POR, PHO & GS in the West..?
I have been hearing this line for 20 years. The East sucks, has sucked and seems to always suck every year. And it will likely suck again this year. Even the teams that have won in the last 20 years were either one hit wonders who had the perfect amount of luck or Lebron was on the team. The ONLY dominate team in the East that won in the 20 years was the 2012 Miami Heat.
Zion hype machine in full force. Covid gave him a chance to lose 25-30 pounds, let's see if he took "advantage" of it. If not, he'll be a 40-50 games a season type of player and not a real threat in the PO.
Yep. And we’re going to find out similarly from Snake where he’s really at physically, with Lue now under pressure from Ballmer after taking his money and that long contract .... not allowing the same s*** he did last year with the excessive load managing and lightening.
Kevin Pelton broke down the strength of schedule for ESPN. The first half of the season and only the Bucks and Magic have an easier first half of the season. That's going to mean the bag leg is going to be rough, BUT with so many new faces I'd rather have it that way. Let us build chemistry and get in a groove and let's Bron pace himself. (If you were wondering, OKC has the toughest which they're ok with. Helps them tank)
Clippers will just say that Kawhi has a real medical condition since his knees are made from Rice Krispies.
Let's try to not make go off topic, but this is just an informative heads up. There might be another pause in play. If you're unsure of why, turn on the news. Political and social justice or thereof reasons. That got resolved. For now.
