The Piston coming out of the east!

they're still missing playoff experience + 1 go-to scorer besides Cade to become unbeatable but they've been dominating all year so will be a tough out regardless

Not being in Top 3 MVP votes, despite the Laker's team situation and Jokic sitting out a whole month... Blud is never winning MVP at this point, tuff.

Seeding is gonna matter a lot this year but
The NBA Finals in 2026
Will Be the Timberwolves Vs Boston Celtics
They have the Best Combination of Coaching Experience and Player Depth.
Pathway wont be Easy tho, It’s Projected that Only 1 Playoff Series This Year will Be less than 6 Games, Almost Every series will be competitive.

Boston is good ngl but the lack of JT will still hurt them.
Plus as a michigander, Detroiitt Basketball!

Imho Spurs or the Thunder are better than the Timberwolves.

Teams will figure out quickly how reliant Pistons are on Cade very quickly, also the 678 seed in the east is 76ers, Magic, Heat, 3 Dark Hourses.

OKC Thunder lacks talent, they’re very good in the regular season because they play harder than everyone else and have guys that are young and bought into the system. If you match their energy you can beat them in a series, Pacers and Nuggets figured this out in the playoffs they were just injured. Spurs play hard, have depth and Talent but lack of coaching and playoff experience which could be be their downfall. 80% of their losses were comebacks and they don’t guard the 3 particularly well. Nuggets, Wolves ,Rockets, Clippers, and Suns, could give could give them Hell in a playoff series.I suspect OKC and Spurs will be out in the 2nd Round tho.
