Blake Griffin just signed a one year deal with the Celtics. Seems like the Celtics are the team for veterans to try and win a chip with now. I’m not so sure they’re the team to beat in the east. I think the 76ers, Bucks, & Nets all have better teams, but with Nash being strict on the old guys maybe the Celtics are the only place willing to take the old ring chasers. Hope Blake has a good season. Last year was a bit embarrassing.
Young and talented players plus a player who isn't in his post-prime years yet (he is only 33 years old) and with Gallinari getting injured, I guess the Celtics found a replacement in Griffin.With Coach Udoka out this season, many have doubts with the Celtics already. Will they repeat their previous run? Will they repeat what they did last season, but now with a different head coach. Questions that will be answered during the Regular season.
Right now, I think the 76ers are the better team to win right now in the East. I believe that Harden, Embiid and Maxey will be a good trio and add Tucker who is a great role player and defender. I also have doubts with the Nets as well. Will the chemistry as a team there after the drama that Kyrie and KD did? Will Simmons play the whole season and is there any changes in his playstyle? Let's just see during the regular season but I'm predicting the 76ers to win the East. Too early
.In the end it still depends on the health of the team, 76ers is a legitimate championship contender, but if Embiid will get injured in the playoffs, that will kill their hope of winning the championship. I know Harden is a superstar, however, he has not proven himself yet in 76ers uniform, I mean, his performance during the last playoffs was way below his average when he was still playing with the Houston Rockets.
Do you think it's the chemistry is the problem? or Harden had really depreciate already?
