Just move Boston and NY west and fold the rest of the east at this point

Lmao NY has one good season (still a second round exit) and their fans be acting like theyre a top tier team ahead of Bucks, Heat, Sixers etc

Magic and Sixers also are expected to make big moves this summer. If the Bucks can get some perimeter defense they can be a very strong team as well

Pacers seem like fools gold come playoff time. They went back and forth with a Bucks team without Giannis and a gimpy Dame. And it took them 7 games to beat a Knicks team on life support. They seemed like they could steal a game or two from Boston but choked. Maybe it's cause Siakam was only there after the trade

Fools gold? Celtics would tell you they are the toughest team they've played the whole year. Besides, many teams would copy that brand of offense for sure

hali wasn’t the same after his injury, he probably rushed back to get his 65 games for all nba to get that bag. as much as the knicks were injured, they battled HARD and pacers getting past them is no joke. and of everybody we face, pacers gave us the most trouble (and were the most fun teams). give hali an offseason to recover, siakam another season to really fit in, and the young core some valuable playoff experience, i think they’re gonna be a solid team

They have a solid core and a lot of certified bucket getters. I think if they can retool their defense, or just get a little better at winning the shootout style baseball they love to play, that they can be a serious contender in a couple years. One great player would make a massive difference

All they need is debilitating injuries to their opponents and they’re set

They at least understand that having 5 shooters on the floor to give space on the drive is a must in the playoffs
