celtics, pacers, and sixers are all question marks
assuming no injuries, I'll take the sixers on paper but obviously we don't know how they'll mesh
pacers always do more with less so I can see them being back to full strength if Hali is
celtics just don't inspire me, needs a generational season from Tatum and for PG to look like a competent 2nd option
Celtics with Tatum and who? The Knicks sure. The Pacers will still have to reorganize themselves after having one year without Tyrese. So I put Philly in Top 2 right now.
i got the pacers over the sixters, joel is always hurts and doesnt play over 50 games. Lebron can't guard the wing in long series anymore and the pacer bench is just better with what they did in the off season
with scoring load off him and being able to focus on big man things with lebron coming in, I think Embiid will have more durability this season. And you're not gonna tell me that a lineup of Maxey, Edgecombe, Brown, Bron, and a back-up center won't be good. I get the Pacers but the Sixers also traded for the perfect spark plug off the bench in Anfernee Simons. That is why my top 3 is solid but the order of the 2 and 3 can change. I'm a LeBron fan, but I'm not delusional to say that Philly is above the defending champs.
every year people say embiid is back but it never happens, every year for the last 5 years people been saying that.
And every year people say Bron is gonna be washed too. LeBron can guard the wing and it was evident against Houston.
when LeBron had no Luka and Austin was playing at 60 percent. Are we suddenly forgetting that? Losing your #1 option and have your #2 option be rusty is always more damaging than losing your #2 option.
we saw what happened when the lakers faced okc at full power at the end of the season and they got blown out
That's when Luka got injured? So what if they got blown out in that regular season game? The Hornets also blew out OKC in January, does that mean anything? No. The playoffs are totally different. If all players were healthy in both sides of that series, I think it would have gone to 6 or 7.
its like chronicle on what would be his final year, joins c9 which now has OXY, meteor, sayonara, kaajak
except if meteor is always injuried and plays half the vct games, oxy if he is playing on intiator and kaajak who is slumped right now
Allat to lose against Knicks in 5
Also itβs not spurs/OKC from west, itβs our time now! Bron has gone.
All good, Maxey, Brown, Edgecombe, Bron, and a back up center is still a great team. If Embiid can just be healthy enough to give them a Top 4 seed, and be healthy enough come playoffs, there's no problem.
bro i dont think bron is going to be bron next season. Brown Edgecomb Maxey all guards. Maybe im salty as a celts fan
People always say that LeBron will not be LeBron next season and he goes on to carry the Lakers to 1 playoff round win without Luka and Austin Reaves. I've seen enough. Also JB played SF since 2021-2022 according to Basketball Reference since JT was usually slotted into the PF.
you are right about bron tbf, but, sixers are the 100t of NBA. their celtics win is pretty much 100t's ewc. Both are trust the process guys i would not believe in them for now.
That's why Bron wants to give them that mentality and experience. They were able to beat the Celtics last year and still was able to bring in JB and LeBron with a good scorer in Anfernee Simons off the bench. This is a contender and their biggest challenge this upcoming season are the Knicks.
bro dont remind me of anfernee simons. dude was a baller. idk why celts traded his ass. celts always trade pocket rocket kinda guys like anfernee simons, carsen edwards, romeo langford oml. But yeah on paper sixers look fucking stacked, but its just this aura of teams like sixers and wizards, that just makes them look washed as fuck π
Yeah, I get it. History will always affect our judgement. That's why I'm being cautious too as a LeBron fan.
what are your thoughts on Paul George tho? I see many Celtics fans malding over that trade.
breaking : bronny james traded to the sixers for an half eaten cheesteak and a bag of lays.
