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.

3 - Nuggets, Bucks, Celtics.

Suns can get in there if they can prove they can ever be healthy. But we are 3 days into the season and they already have 3 games missed by their top guys. Doesn't bode well.

The suns have both the players injury histories & the Arizona Sports Curse ๐Ÿ’€
