It's hard to picture who out of this top 8 (now including Portland) is going to drop off. There will likely be at least one team due to injury but the only team I can think of right now would be OKC if they decide to make major moves and/or blow it up.
GSW will be coming back very strong and likely be a top 4 team.
Suns, Grizzlies, Pels are all pretty good young teams. I like the Suns and Pels more than the Grizz. I don't believe in the Kings, Spurs or Timberwolves really. I feel like Mavs really need an upgrade. Luka + KP + decent role players I am not sure is enough.
I've said it over and over and over again since before the 2019 offseason - the Mavs are one of the weakest teams in the entire league in the ranking of their 3rd and 4th best players versus those of other teams, and must upgrade in order to be fielding a deserving playoff team.
