Post trade deadline, how do you rank the top 4 East teams?

[El Guapo]

Bucks
Raptors
Sixers
Celtics

 

[No Homo]

Bucks or Raps

 

[mastermind]

Giannis is the best player in the east

But that Gasol trade may have tilted things.

Boston has the best squad but the inconsistent.

Philly intriguing but Simmons is a problem in April and May.

I can’t wait until round two of the eastern conference playoffs.

Boston sort of gets a benefit of the doubt given how far they went last year without Kyrie and Hayward... because otherwise i dunno if they're the best squad. Probably the most mentally tough of the bunch last year, but not quite sure what's going on this year with them.

Before the trades Toronto vs Boston seemed to be a wash that comes down to last second heroics. Bucks have had Toronto's number, Philly seemed to have been a step behind both Boston and Toronto.

LOL @ people over hyping Celtics. Sorry, they are not beating the Bucks, Raptors and Sixers in seven games.

 

[Rigby.]

Bucks, Sixers, Raps, Cs.

As long as the Sixers can master the art of staggering like GSW and TJ McConnell can continue being serviceable, they could pass the Raps up. Mainly because Kawhi is gonna have to defend Harris instead of Ben.

Edit: I forgot Toronto got Marc...IDK man that could be a problem for Philly

What rut are the Celtics in?

Since the end of November they have the most wins in NBA, are top 3 in net rating, and their starting lineup has been the 2nd best performing in the league behind only GS. Guys who got off to slow starts like Horford & Brown have since returned to form. Kyrie, Morris & Smart are having career years.

They are fine.

They ain't fine bruh

Celtics get booed off the court in Boston...Losston fans hold these L's

 

[Shorty K]

The East finally back yall

Raps gonna get it with Gasol.

 

[NoHalfWay]

Giannis is the best player in the east.

Nah Kawhi is still better than Giannis.

Cool. Keep that same energy in May.

That’s your opinion but Giannis either one or two in the mvp convo

Philly didn’t match up well with Toronto even before marc. Embiid is awful against him

Right now Giannis is better all around. Kawhi is not the lockdown defender he was in SA. He may be saving himself but Giannis is the better defender, better rebounder, better playmaker, equal scorer, better shot blocker, etc...

If the sixers had a better coach this would be a no brainer

I don't know what people see in Milwaukee. Once people start loading up on Giannis, they're in trouble... Who's actually worried about Kris Middleton scorching them in a 7 game series?

 

[B1G_controversy]

I'm surprised nobody looked at this in terms of strictly matchups. Sixers don't want to see Toronto until ECF. Toronto doesn't want to see Bucks until ECF. Bucks don't want to see Sixers until ECF.

Truth be told, they can all beat each other.

Sixers have the most talent but Brett Brown will hold them back.

Toronto >>> Sixers
Sixers >>> Celtics
Bucks >>> Toronto
