My hot take for the year? The East is finally better than the West. Maybe I'll be proven wrong but...The Bucks, Celtics, and Raptors look infinitely better than any other Western team not named the Warriors. Yes, the Nuggets, I know but...I just don't believe they are as good as their record. Definitely a playoff team. I don't think they'll finish 2nd or 3rd though. While the bottom of the East is really bad still, the teams below the East top 3...Pacers, 6ers, Detroit, are formidable teams.
