No team scares me in the east. Denver does in the west.

1. Celtics.
2. Nuggets.
3. Heat

close 4th is the bucks. might be delusional but i’m not as worried about the clippers or suns than most

Explain to me how current harden and current Westbrook are all stars

The Clippers are less of a playoff threat now than they were when the weak started.

The real answer is that you always take the field over any one team. Regardless of how good you think the team is, the chances are that some other team will win it pretty much every year.

Healthy dubs team in the playoffs.

Hospital Celtics

Tier 1: Nuggets (Can beat us even if we play good)

Tier 2: Bucks, Warriors, Suns, Clippers (Can beat us)

Tier 3: Heat (Zombies)

I don’t think any team is better than us, but any team has a chance of winning any given series. Some just have better odds than others. That being said, the one team that’s flying under the radar the most that shouldn’t is Cleveland. They’ve been banged up to start the year, but they aren’t long term injuries, and they are a really good young team where every guy should be expected to get better this year. And they gave us fits in last year in the regular season too.

Tier 1: Bucks, Nuggets

Tier 2: Memphis, Dubs, Kings, Suns

Tier 3: Knicks, Mavericks

Knicks are just a team I don’t want to face early rounds because they’re physical and underrated. They’re not title contenders.
