Compared to the wild west, the situation in the east is very clear. Basically, the teams that entered the playoffs last season are still more likely to make the playoffs in the new season.
The Bucks signed a lot of role players in the offseason, but with the two main players, Mirotic and Brogdon, the overall strength of the team has declined slightly from last season. However, they are still strong contenders for the Eastern Conference championship. Of course, this road will be more difficult than last season. Although with Leonard’s departure, the Raptors’ strength has dropped and the Eastern Conference will lose a strong opponent, but the rise of the Nets will be better than last season. The Raptors have given them a headache. If Antetokounmpo wants to be crowned as the new “King of the East”, he needs to prove himself with better personal performance and team leadership in the new season. If it is half-hearted like last season, people’s evaluation of him will be greatly reduced.
The 76ers lost two key players, Butler and Redick in the offseason. However, they subsequently signed Horford and Richardson, which can be considered as an optimization and upgrade to their lineup. Judging from the players on the 76ers roster, they are very likely to come up with a super large starting lineup next season. However, for the faster and farther modern basketball, whether such a lineup can exert its due combat effectiveness needs to be tested by the game. But there is no doubt that even if the star players of the 76ers play completely on their own ability, they can also enter the playoffs. But if you want to make further breakthroughs, the performance of the two emperors is naturally the key, and other role players can also not be ignored. This 76ers can barely be regarded as a 4-star team, how to make these All-Star players twist together is a question worth pondering. After all, last season, they did not do well.
The Celtics, who lost Irving and Horford, quickly made up for the flaws in their lineup. They used Rozier as the main bargaining chip to bring Walker to Boston from Joe’s hands. This is definitely a trade that makes a profit without losing money. From the perspective of personal data or ability to lead, Walker is no worse than Irving. In the few seasons before James has returned to Cleveland, the Cavaliers led by Irving have always been the belly of the league. This is not much worse than the Hornets in recent years. However, Kemba Walker is a better person than Irving. The Celtics’ locker room had conflicts more than once last season. The dispute between the young people on the team and Irving has largely affected their performance throughout the season. I believe Walker will handle this better than Irving. With the growth of young players in the team, the Celtics will surely be able to occupy a playoff spot in the new season. But whether it can get a higher ranking depends on the performance of Walker and Shuang Tanhua.
The Raptors should have lost the capital to hit the championship in the new season. With the departure of Leonard and Danny Green, the overall strength of the Raptors has dropped a lot. Judging from their actions in the offseason, Siakam will be used as the core of the team in the new season. Of course, the playoff seats in the new season are still guaranteed. After all, in the games where Leonard was absent last season, the Raptors had a pretty good record. Kyle Lowry, Gasol Jr., Ibaka, Van Fleet, Powell, these players are all Titans. With them, the Raptors will not sink down due to changes in personnel, they are still the “King of the North”.
As the top four teams in the Eastern Conference last season, these four teams will be challenged by some teams from the second half and even outside the playoffs in the new season. Among them, the most threatening is the Brooklyn Nets.
As one of the extremely successful teams in the offseason, the Nets are now very strong. First of all, the team has been replenished as a whole, with excellent players in the league in all positions. On the guard line, successfully won Irving, which is a qualitative leap for the team’s point guard line. In today’s most important front in the league, the Nets signed, almost the best small forward in the league-“Reaper” Durant. And with Durant’s physical fitness, he can play the third and fourth positions. On the inside line, he got the little Jordan, who was the original “airport city”, and retained Allen, who performed well last season, and created a perfect “no-fly zone” inside. The depth of the bench is equally exciting, retaining Dindewei and Levere who played well last season, with Harris outside the three-point line. The overall team structure and depth are incomparable with last season.
Of course, basketball games are never simple addition and subtraction. The chemical reaction between each player takes time to accumulate. Last season, Russell led the Nets and played a very successful season. In the new season, whether Durant, Irving and Jordan, the three “outsiders” from different teams, can be perfectly integrated into the Atkinson coaching system~www.mtlnovel.com~ still needs to be tested by competition. You know, the Nets have built a super lineup several times, but they all have no good results.
Getting the heat of Butler may be a dark horse. At least, there are not many people who are optimistic about them making the playoffs. Butler, a player, is very capable. Although his career scoring average is not many, 17 points, but at the critical moment, he is always the most trusted person in the team. The overall strength of the Heat is not too bad. They need a leader in the true sense, a leader who can play a leading role in spirit and strength, and lead the group of low picks and even lose the draft to win.
Butler is undoubtedly the most suitable for this team. Riley’s double-edged sword called “Crazy Training” has always been criticized, but this has never been a problem in Butler’s eyes. The belief in Butler’s mind is training, training, and retraining. Not enough talent, try hard to get together. This is the fundamental reason why Butler has grown from an ordinary low draft pick to an All-Star team.
In addition to these teams, the Indiana Pacers and Orlando Magic should be the teams most likely to advance to the playoffs. As for the remaining teams in the East, unless they burst out with more fighting power than the team itself, it will be difficult to compete with the previous teams.
In general, the situation in the east looks relatively clear. But all this is everyone’s guess before the start of the season. People often only see what is on the surface, not the waves that are surging in the dark. Every season, there are a few teams that have achieved results when people are not optimistic. After all, there are not many teams that want to be bad at the beginning. For the pursuit of the playoffs and even the championship, all The teams are the same.
