The Cavs are stacked.. A starting 5 of Garland, Mitchell, Levert, Mobley and Allen is very impressive. They still have Love and Rubio on the bench. The East is loaded right now..

Okoro at the 3, LaVert off the bench imo

Koby altman has done an outstanding job post LeBron era 2.0. Built the team the right way through the draft and smart trades that have allowed us to improve each year. Being able to add Mitchell is the cream on the top. Beasts in the east are back baby!

Why do i follow the Knicks…

Man I thought the knicks had him I really did, that's a tough pill to swallow bro.

That's probably what they'll do.. But it doesn't look as sexy. Haha

Unbelievable. Can’t wait to watch Julius Randle break down the team again this year.

Jazz were asking way too much from the Knicks tbf, hopefully we make a play for the next superstar that is available or we could just officially rebuild with the young guys we have and our insane amount of draft picks.

Interesting to see if they even finish top 4. Nets, Bucks, Heat, Celtics & 76ers are all good teams.

It'll be tough but they'll go close. They were top 6 in the East all of last season and only struggled once Rubio and Garland were hurt.

I love their roster. They've drafted well. Traded well.. And I think Bickerstaff is a good coach. They're hard to score against and have two great scoring guards.. Mobley will be a top 5 big in a few years. Allen is a great defender and lob threat. Levert can win 6th man of the year if he stays healthy. I reckon they'll lose 2nd round this year but in a year or two if they keep that team together and get some veterans, they can be a title contender.

Either way, the East is loaded because as well as those teams you listed, there's still Cleveland, Chicago, Atlanta, Charlotte etc who are all solid and tough to beat.

Mitchell needs to prove that he can do it in the playoffs. He wasn't able to lift his game for Utah.

He had a big playoffs in the bubble but went missing last year. To be fair, he had very little help around him so it made teams easy to double and triple him. In Cleveland, they have other scorers so he'll get easier looks.

One thing he needs to improve is his D though. But with Mobley and Allen there, they can cover for him well.

He had good shooters around him in Utah.

Also the bubble was weird and I don't really count it. Way less pressure when there are no fans.

Really looking forward to watching the Wizards this year, bit odd but idc.

I agree about the bubble for sure. The Lakers title should have an asterisk. The games were like scrimmages

Why would you put yourself through and go to Magic games?

Conceding 20 points a game is very fun.

if they concede 20 points a game i think they'll be fine, but hey you're a knicks supporter so you're in no place to throw rocks
