The 3 NBA teams to watch after the All-Star break
What’s one team we’re excited to watch after the All-Star break I’m going to go with the Cavaliers there’s something about this team right now that just really intrigues me they’re the number two seed in the East right right now I think they’re 36 and and 19 so they’re
Not really in a position to catch the the Celtics at this point but I honestly didn’t expect them to be this good anyway so the fact that they’re here right now is pretty crazy especially considering the fact that Evan Moy missed a lot of time Darius Garland
Missed a lot of time but you know Donovan Mitchell is like a Darkhorse MVP candidate and Jared Allen I feel like he he maybe should have been an Allstar to be completely honest with you I probably would have put him in over Scotty bonds but I I just think this team is is
Really good and I do think that they have a legitimate shot at making the NBA Finals potentially if the Celtics trip up at all keeping an eye on the Pelicans because they finally finally made it to an Allstar break with a health Zion Williamson fingers crossed that they
Keep this uh Health relative good health they do have some smaller injuries but I want to see if they can keep that going into the second half they’ve climbed into the top six of the Western Conference standings um and so we’ve been waiting for this to see it come
Together in New Orleans and see what it looks like with Zion and the playoff push and we it looks like we’re headed for that but we got to see how it goes in the second half of the season but for me it’s not necessarily A team but more
Also a player on the team and that’s the Spurs with Vic because I feel like we’re now starting to see Vic kind of play into that like this is my team role he’s becoming a little more selfish that we’re playing on national TV Spurs don’t
Get a chance to ruin the moment for him I mean we just look at some of his recent games triple doubles he’s taking shots that we didn’t really see from him he’s really showing that he has that outside touch so I just want to see like
How he’ll play in the second half of the year a lot of rookies are hitting that like midseason slump he’s continuing to play at a high level he’s pretty much wrapped up rookie of the year so far so I I want to see like how he’ll play in
The second half now that a lot of the attention is on him a lot of people want to see him just continue to grow within this first year basketball I mean he has a chance to really show that in year two he’s coming for the best player in the
League and just all depends on how this first season ends because the Spurs on national TV aren’t really the the the backups taking over it’s like hey he’s leading the charge now that’s actually a good point that you make about the national TV thing cuz we ain’t seen them
That much on TNT and ESPN lately and he’s playing a lot better so I I think it really does show that like yeah some of his teammates they they thought they was was trying out for some some other teams out there I feel like also too like this could show other players next
Year like hey we play with Vic you know we help him out and we also going to play on some big games was on national TV so like if you was a guy who was on the trade deadline you know did Jon Murray hey you got a guy six 11 I mean
71 out there back where you used to play at like hey it might be worth touching back on your old roots that’s all I’m saying is like if I got a chance to play with Vic I’m taking advantage of that keep going Vic help out the Wizard’s draft position that’s all I’m saying
Keep us down there at the bottom
