I wouldn’t be surprised, but I still don’t think they’re close to the Celtics if they are healthy, hell that was the consensus last offseason. And even though I don’t think its crazy to think they could go all the way, there’s a big difference between that and saying they’re the favorites. Like as a Celtics homer I think its possible that Baylor Scheierman could wind up being an all-star someday. but even I wouldn’t be crazy to suggest its likely, much less call him a favorite to do so.

Hard to say how much other people are or aren’t sleeping on them. I think I’ve seen more hype for the Knicks and 76ers on media sources, which I don’t agree with, but I don’t know what people’s actual opinions are. The Cavs are probably the team, if I had to pick one, that I’m most worried about beating my Celtics in the East, though its a small difference for me between like 5 teams. According to ESPN right now the over/under on them is 47.5, which seems low considering there could be 7 teams in the East that are tanking.

First of all, lebron’s legacy involves colluding with other players and manipulating free agency to force their wwsy onto the same team at the cost of other players salary in a way that is historically unprecedented.

Secondly, and morr importantly, what the hell is a GOWT?
