Tier 1 teams that can win the chip - Boston, Clippers and Denver
Rest of the league can't touch these 3 teams.
if these teams had any weakness
boston need size and length at the guard spot off the bench - can see them having trouble against Knicks now with OG, Miami and Bucks however i still think Boston will get thru east with eyes closed
clippers need more size up front - could become an issue if PG/Kawhi/Harden not clicking and/or injuries against big teams like denver, Lakers (if they make it), wolves
Denver defence is below par. they were mid-tier last year but had number 1 offence. won't be as easy this year
i am watching knicks a lot more closely now. they going to punch some teams in the mouth in the playoffs.
