Bullish
Timberwolves-people are talking like they are not sure they make he playoffs. If healthy they are in easy as long as Butler can defend and get the two young guys to play both ends.
Also like what OKC did best two players rival any two in the league Carmelo is a great third option and only starter who can’t defend. Played amazing in the olympics in that role. It is really his ideal role.
I predict at one point in the playoffs they will make Golden States cheeks pucker. But KD will be the difference.
Bearish
Celtics–are they better on offense? Possibly, but they will miss Crowther and Bradley as super high level role players on both ends. Are they better on defense? Nope. Their only big is on the downside of his career. They are not deep at all. Brown and Tatum could be real good. Not this year though. I say they win fewer games than last year and perform similarly in the playoffs.
Rockets-Harden is exposed in the playoffs They will win a lot in the regular season though.
