long season and extra games forces vets reconsider their effort put into games. load management no longer a secret, everybody follows suit, the beard, cp3, giannis, luka, you name it. contenders compete for 'scientific' coasting, lower down regular season injuries, all eyes on playoff run.
Boston would make a statement run for the best overall record. Got Tatum and Brown. Brogdon off the pine.
yup i dun't even look into the profiles of Celtics roaster, but i bet they are the youngest serious contender overall to say in this league, look at their core: tatum 24, brown 26, smart 28, (if ya even incl. brogdon...29) super young, they got 3-4yrs of time window for championship run.
Competition level is so high in the west and it's gonna be a dog fight among teams competing for the last 3-4 playoff seats. And in the playoffs I think there will be at least 5-6 teams contending for the championship with almost equal possibilities.
