It’s basically the Bucks Miami is the second obstacle but the Heat love Small Ball a lot and they think it can work against certain teams but definitely not teams that have height and size like Denver

Embiid got a sympathy MVP but never compare him to Joker again
Bucks dont match up well vs The Jays…I think its the Cavs
I really miss the days you talked to us here in the comment section. I was here when you had no comments and i loved that part. Btw the song still slaps.
With Porzingus the Celtics should have a heavy advantage againt Milwakee. 5 spread out 3pt shooting will drag Brook lopez and Giannis to the perimeter. Its not unlosable but id say is heavily favored.
The Heat lost many very important players in the offseason and got very little to make up for that loss. The only way is if Damian Lillard is trade to Miami, but even then they will be trading even more depth for Lillard
The Celtics own Philly. Next
The Cavs and Knicks are probably the biggest competitors to the Celtics just stylistically. They have the size and shooting to at least compete and can bring equal levels of intensity. They are more likely to take eachother out in the playoffs though.
We all know the celtics are the biggest challenge to the celtics..bucks a close 2nd
16:11 ayoooo 😂
Cavs
I don't know if its because I am so excited for the season to start. Maybe all the time waiting for Jaylen to resign… Idk but this off season flew by.
The heat is a mental thing. The toughest opponent for the Celtics are the Celtics and injuries.
