Who has the best chance to win the NBA title this season? Could it be the analysts’ preseason favorite, the Philadelphia 76ers? Might the Brooklyn Nets finally put things together with their star-studded roster? The Miami Heat are a perennial threat to be in the mix for a title, and the Toronto Raptors and Cleveland Cavaliers are no longer the middling teams they have been in the recent past.
What about the Golden State Warriors repeating? Or maybe some new blood in the form of the Memphis Grizzlies? And then, of course, the Boston Celtics have at times looked like world-beaters early in the 2022-23 season. Could it finally be time to hang the elusive Banner 18 in Boston?
This question was the topic du jour of the hosts of the ESPN “NBA Crosscourt” show, and host Kevin Pelton offered his rationale for why each will or will not win it all.
