Until proven otherwise, Denver has to be regarded as the front runner. Jokic is clearly the best player in the world and their chemistry is phenomenal.
I do think the biggest nightmare for defenses will be Giannis and Dame, though. There's no way to pick Dame up at halfcourt and build a wall against Giannis in the paint.
  1. Denver
  2. Milwaukee
  3. Lakers
  4. Miami (I still think they have a move to make)
  5. Boston
  6. Phoenix
  7. Golden State
I don't think anyone else has a real shot.

Didn't expect to see the Lakers at 3.

Because they aren't, no way they jump Phoenix, Boston, or GSW.

They beat GSW last year. I'll believe in Phoenix and Boston when I see it: KP and KD are always hurt for the playoffs.
Obviously, I'm expecting similar health as last year for the Lakers (and everyone else). They could easily be terrible.

Gsw will be a different animal with CP3 coming off of the bench, immediate upgrade on JP. KD is frail though, I do agree with that.

I hope you're right, but the CP3 move is reminiscent of many failed attempts to bring in aging superstars who don't fit the team's style.
cough...Gary Payton on the Lakers...cough.
