Absolutely.

At this time, your biggest challengers are probably in the east, though NE might have something to say about that. I would have still had a ton of work to be considered among those challengers if I retained SGA though. Hoffa's right there now.


My team isn’t sexy on paper but I think it has potential to matchup very well with the Spurs. I think last season I matched up very well with them and had a close season series battle if I remember correctly. Could have given them a tough battle in the playoffs if not for injuries. Not sure if the changes I made this year made us better but will see

But I still think Detroit has a good chance. Nobody has given the Spurs a challenge like Detroit has and now they look very similar to how they looked last season so that will be interesting. Chet and AD front court defensively is a problem. Luka is Luka. And he still has quality depth


The East is wild. Detroit, Toronto, and Charlotte all appear to be challengers and they all hate one another :lol:

Technically, I didn't extinguish the possibility that there could be other challengers. Simply that they don't all hate you yet :D

I actually tuned in for a bit and it was like 30-21 and then Curry and Jokic pressed the gas pedal.

Decent showing for the Celtics in game 1. Defense looked solid. I think Vukcevic had 15/9 with a couple of blocks.
