I think there are 4 real title contenders this year. Bucks and Celtics from the east and Nuggets and Suns from the west. Every other team is at least a tier lower.

Heat - Had a nice Cinderella story last year but with the upgrades that the bucks and celtics made, they wont be close this year.

Sixers - Can God even get them out of the 2nd round?

Lakers- still no where near the nuggets and barely beat a hobbled Suns. They have 0 chance

Clippers - always a threat IF they can stay healthy which is basically no chance.

warriors - too old and small

Mavs- Kyrie will mess things up somehow

Pelicans - always looks good on paper but never works out

Kings - Probably make some noise but not really a threat

4 real title contenders (2 from each conference) is great parity. I think we will see a bucks vs nuggets finals.

The Bucks, Celtics and Suns all have superteams and if any of them lose in the playoffs to anyone except the other superteams they should be embarrassed. Nuggets are obviously a contender too because Jokic is incredible but he doesn't have anywhere close to as much help as the 3 superteams.
