Eastern Conference Showdown: Which Unexpected Team Will Rise to Dominate the NBA?

Eastern Conference Showdown: Which Unexpected Team Will Rise to Dominate the NBA?

Miami Heat – 37-45 – 8th

There were rumors the Heat were going to get Kevin Durant. That didn’t happen. There were rumors forever that they would get Damian Lillard. The Heat, for the first time in a while, seem like they have no idea what they are doing. Tyler Herro is hurt to start the year, but this is a franchise that is best at “Next Man Up.” I don’t love the win total, but I do think they make the play-in tournament. 

Atlanta Hawks – 40-42 – 9th

For the first time in a while, the Hawks actually seem to have a logically constructed roster. Trae Young will still be the focal point, but they have a defensive-minded shooting guard. Kristaps Porzingis is a good rim protector and good offensive weapon. Jalen Johnson is super talented. Their bench got deeper with Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Luke Kennard. The biggest question is if Zaccharie Risarcher will take a step forward this year. They should get to over 48 wins, but it will be a sweat.
