I’d have to go with the Magic being 11-5 and on a 6 game win streak.
Watched the Celtics game and they played great individual and team defense while taking high IQ shots. Which is a rarity now because usually teams with young rosters keep chucking it with no disregard with what is happening on the court (Grizzlies). This Magic squad is very well coached.
Legit if they can get a couple of 3 and D players, or resurrect prime Klay Thompson, this team can be extremely scary.
Maybe not the most surprising thing but nobody has said it, I didn’t think the Wolves would be this good. The double big lineup looks good, Ant is dominating, they’re a great squad.
Before the season someone pointed out there are 11 teams in the West who seem to have playoff aspirations this year, one will miss the Play-ins. Popular answer was the Wolves.
The play in champs finally living up to the hype
