but it is obvious that this years dark horse race includes Jazz now, along with Heat who was a shock last year and also Nuggets obviously.
Yeah, the Heat had a great performance in the previous season, especially in the final games. However, it looks they aren't going to repeat it, considering that they probably won't have a chance to reach the playoff this season due to competition from other teams.
Well that's literally hard considering how many teams have been performing at a high level this season. The Heat just lost too much fire power without Jimmy and even Herro. However, even If these two best pieces of the Heat came to play, I doubt, It would still be very hard to repeat what they have done last post season.
On the other hand, 76ers will be the best match up for the ECF this year, I don't trust the Bucks again this time, I'd rather take the Celtics If the 76ers lost to play against the Nets.
Trade alert : Who ever team that gets Bradley Beal will have a higher percentage to make the playoffs.
