Once the Sixers move Ben they will not be top 3 in the East. The unknown team I think is the Heat.

I am thinking about where Boston ranks. If Boston can play strong on a consistent basis they could be one of the top teams in the East. The Nets if healthy are the top dog but after that several teams including Boston are in the mix.

Hawks will be good, they have studs at 1 and 5 and plethora of young wings now.

Agree this whole episode weakens Sixers with Embid in his prime.

It really is hard to put a mark on the Celtics and this upcoming season.

Media basically calling for a repeat of last season. We're cautiously optimistic here but it will come down to the timeliness/untimeliness of injuries. The last few seasons haven't been very favorable in that category for us. Will that continue or will this shift and fall more drastically on other teams in the league? That's the $1,000,000 question.
