And Utah in the west probably improved as much as anyone out there. New power rankings https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba-power-rankings-kawhi-leonards-new-look-clippers-vault-to-no-1-lebron-james-lakers-3rd-raptors-warriors-plummet/

The Bucks are terrible though. 😁 i’ve been a team fan as opposed to an individual player fan for the most part in watching the NBA but today’s game has made that more of a challenge at times. A fair criticism. However, going into this season the “parity” is back and both conferences will have great competition and story lines. In the West, the Clippers are now a title contender, and snagging Kawhi and PG, both Laker targets, they prevented the super team that would’ve killed competition. Whatever you think of what the Clippers, Kawhi and PG did, that’s a good thing. Then you have Denver and Portland, both smaller markets and both realistic title contenders, along with Houston (big market) and maybe GS at least fighting it out in a competitive West. The East is less competitive top to bottom but that’s changing and not with the big market teams. Bucks will be fighting it out with Philly, but the Pacers could be in the hunt if Vic gets back healthy, that team is now built very well and its young guys are maturing, Toronto will still be good, Celtics should be better imo and are still not a finished product, Miami will be interesting with Butler, and after next season the Nets will have Durant joining Kyrie, to a team that played well and made the playoffs last year. Very interested to see how the Bucks return and how Philly returns, both are a little different now but could be title contenders. Would bet on seeing improved shooting from Giannis, he is one of the hardest working players in the League

After a week having let's just say holiday fun I'll be looking to dry out this week. Just reserved Central Park Five and Prohibition from the library. Will give them a watch this week.
