The Sixers are a huge injury risk, but that roster is very talented. Giannis is probably going to have a monster year. Cavs are loaded. Knicks are good too.

Pretty nuts to see the start the Pistons are having. I knew they were underrated, deep, and full of potential. I did not expect them to be this good in 2025-2026. I gave Cade a hard time about the SGA comparisons due to the trade rumors, but he has earned my full respect. I love how the Pistons and on a lesser note the Bulls basically just keep building in the shadows with little fanfare.

It's odd because on my 2K franchise, the Pistons were constantly in the finals led by Cade from 2025-2030+. I guess the simulator knows how good the team can be. Not to say they will be #1 all year but damn they have been dangerous.

They can only play who is in front of them but honestly they probably have some more difficult schedule stretches ahead, than behind them.

Also, jb bickerstaff has lead a team to 51 wins before, so the potential to win shouldn't be shocking. The true test starts in April for jb, Cade, and the team up North.
