Everyone else is saying it already but I don’t understand the rationale about questioning the Mavs hitting 48 wins and being ranked so low. They won 50 games last year despite being one of the most injured teams in the league, and that doesn’t even break down how well they played after the PJ/Gafford trades.

I just don’t see how the Nuggs are a lock and the Wolves/Mavs are flirts. Murray’s looking less athletic and durable, Porter Jr isn’t improving, and they’ve lost every good veteran role player they’ve had. The Wolves might be better with Donte shooting the lights out and Raz taking a step. And Naji Marshall can supplement the defence while Klay massively improves their shooting (one of the reasons the Finals were so lopsided)

Yes, Finns were still listening 😃 (Though few days later) Lauri might not be as good statistically this year because they are using the year to make him learn some iso stuff. So he might be playing and they still might be in to the race to Capture the Flagg. But if he can get better on that this year, then years to come when the team tries more he might be scary when he uses again more of his strengths and added to that the iso stuff he learns. One thing though that might make them too good is Will Hardy.

Maybe this is just a personal preference thing, but given how the play-in works I would prefer only 12 total teams as title contenders, final four flirts, and playoff locks. Nobody should be considered a playoff lock if they are in the play-in since they can lose 1 or 2 games and be out of the playoffs altogether. I would push the Suns down to playoff lock and push Miami, GS, Pacers, and SAC down to play-in hopefuls. I would also push down Toronto and Charlotte to Flagg Seekers. Atlanta's pick is unprotected so they will try to win games this season, but the other 2 teams need more talent and should tank this year. Appreciate you guys putting this list together!

For future years you guys should just keep the tiers unnamed. I feel like there's way more than a single tier difference between a playoff LOCK and a play-in hopeful. Would also balance out the strength of the conferences since you wouldn't have to have obligatory East 10/11th seeds who are technically play-in teams but are nowhere near the play-in teams from the West (Charlotte and Toronto being in the same tier as Memphis and LA is crazy to me lol).

Pacers are being undervalued I think. Their record against above 500 teams last season was among the best in the league and they dropped a bunch of games to bottom dwellers which I would argue should improve with experience and a full season of Siakam. I would not be surprised if the had the second best record in the East this season. I’d say final four flirt would be more accurate especially since they just got there

So, the suspension plus the single shoulder injury really caused most of the time off. Feels like more with the time span of all the incidents he had being in the season he was still actively playing/then played in the playoffs without either one of his centers healthy against the Lakers.
