Absolutely

East should be a breeze if we stay healthy. Giannis and the refs are probably the only 2 things I’m worried about. Honestly I’m more worried about Hornets and Hawks than pretty much any other team in the east.

Post all star Tatum starting to fire just as I predicted all season long. Y’all should have listened.

Suns and Warriors are a different question doe

They have the 8th best odds so if you want to call them a long shot dark horse..maybe?

But realistically they have no chance

According to 538 they had the strongest full strength team in the league last week with a 24% chance of making the Finals

This week again the Celtics are considered the best team at full strength with a 30% chance of making the Finals according again to 538

I'd seen 8th best on Draftkings and Fanduel to win it all but..dark horse status would be better than nothing

True title contenders and making the finals are a little different though

A team that makes the Finals is a contender by definition man

I dont believe that the Celtics are contenders personally but if they (or any other team) makes it to the Finals they would 100% have to be viewed afterwards as a contender for that season

Just like the 76ers were “title contenders” last year and the quadruple doink year, looking back they are rightfully viewed as failures to satisfy that criteria by non homers
