My favorite teams
So assuming that Chicago gets the shaft once again (supposedly that's the case on Twitter), what are the chances that they can still come out of the East?
The teams likely to be in the playoffs imo are Cleveland, Indiana, Chicago, Miami, Washington, Toronto I guess, Brooklyn, and one of NY, Atlanta, and Charlotte. Maybe I missed a team...who cares the East sucks and Cleveland, Indiana, and Chicago are the only relevant teams anyway.
Do we actually have a shot at topping the Cavs? Vegas has them as the favorites to come out of the East I believe. They have Kyrie, Wiggins, and Lebron which is very good and that's not even considering the possibility of getting Kevin Love. Meanwhile, we're still banking on the health of Derrick Rose and the likelihood that Doug McDermott and Nikola Mirotic pan out. Indiana possibly gets weaker losing Lance Stephenson and not getting anyone really to replace what he brings.
East would appear to be wide open as matching up with the Cavs is a bit easier than matching up with the old Heat team. They're still at a disadvantage down low, but it's a deadly set of talent on the wings. Given the glaring weakness we have at SG, how do we fare?
We may still be doomed for mediocrity, but I think we have a better chance than before.
