TerrenceClarke wrote:I won’t reveal anything pass 3. But these was my top 3.
1 Clippers.
A lot of defense with scoring to match.
2 Hornets
A schit load of buckets and a lot killer instinct.
3 Spurs
The best balanced team needs some more defense tho.
I thought Spurs and Hornets were 1a and 1b and Clips were the clear cut 3 and after that lot of parity

How did Ben Simmons get a 62 FG3 rating?
How did Ben Simmons not get docked for not playing for a year and seeing a dip in his early season stats this year?

Looks like depth will be key this year though, not a lot of 3-star players so far

4 of my top 6 teams (not including me) were in my top 6
In no praticular order I had Hornets and Cavs in the top for the east and Denver/Portland/Warriors/Clippers in my top 6
If I remember off the top of my head OKC, Indy, Chi, Dal, Orl, and Utah in my next tier.

That's what they felt about me too. And, in my case, they aren't wrong. That gif looks like me in the middle of the Nurkic bidding war looking for a way out but every time I thought I was out, my bid was upped again and every time I was about to pivot, the guy I was going to pivot to went off the board. Really threw my offseason into disarray.
However, I think with AD/Dejounte duo and some underrated contributors in Tate and Burks, I will still be in the mix for one of the home court seeds.
I had you 3rd in the east. Could up to 2nd with some moves. I love your top duo.
