1. Cavs
2. Magic
3. Knicks
4. Hawks

These are clearly the top four for me
Kids played football, drove cars, went to school, celebrated life; while soldiers, heroes, their brothers struggled to find their way home from war; and young boys watched and grew wiser in their dreams.

1. Knicks: just made the ECF
2. Hawks: swap in Risacher as a starter
3. Cavs: good regular season team
4. Magic: hole at 5 but 1-4 are solid
5. Bucks: Giannis factor
6. Pistons: jb is a try-hard
7. Heat: i guess
8. Pacers: maybe, idk
9. Celtics: White and Brown are good
10. Raptors

I am not ranking Philly until we get a better idea on the health of their team. That starting 5 has tons of talent in it, just gotta see if that will actually be the guys playing the games. If healthy, a top 4 team in the East.

Some starting lineups i would change:

Atlanta: swap okongwu for Risarcher.
Celtics: swap Simons and Garza for Pritchard and Queta.
Indiana: swap Bradley for Jacson.

I also think mitchell can beat Norman for the starting guard spot and Holland can beat Ivey.

Porzingis is not starting over Risacher. That dude is a bench player now. And Zacc is poised to have a big 2nd year.
