---of their respective "Batman & Robin" combo...compared to other contenders.

1. Celtics...3 (But #1 for overall roster, WHAT A CREW !)
2. Bucks.....4
3. Nuggets...1 (Joker & Murray, by a mile)
4. Suns......2
5. 76ers.....6
6. Clippers..7
7. Lakers....5
8. Minn......9
9. GS........11 (GREAT Batman, lousy Robin)
10 Mavs......8 (GREAT Batman, suspect Robin)
11 Heat......12
12 Kings.....10
15 Pels......somewhere from 12-15

Obviously...I'm not real fond...of our Batman & Robin...compared to other Batman & Robin "combos" of contending teams. Actually kinda like our 3-8 group, compared to other 3-8 groups.

Based just on top 2?

1. Suns (Booker and KD are amazing, they just have a shitty supporting cast)
2. Bucks (Giannis and Dame will figure it out)
3. Nuggets
4. 76ers
5. Celtics
6. Lakers
7. Clippers
8. Mavs
9. Minn
10. Heat
11. Kings
12. Pelicans
13. Warriors

You’re right that Ingram and Zion in their current forms are not an amazing top 2.

Zion from last year? That’s a different story. That plus our depth would be a very good team. Instead we’re just kinda good

Yea I think Book and KD and Giannis and Dame are a better duo than Joker and Murray personally

yall think and Vegas thinking the Suns are a top 5 title contender is a head scratcher for me.

That team looks like it has problems. KD’s body language is not good right now and that supporting cast is pretty rough.

I know we haven’t really seen Beal, so I guess that could change my perspective, but I’m not seeing it.

I could see somebody thinking that...but...I just think Joker makes everybody on his team SO much better. Barring injury...and if he doesn't decide to just quit & retire early and go home to his horses...I could easily see Joker being considered as a top 5 player of all-time.

The Celtics are a MUCH better team...and it just depends on whether or not Joker can play at a level to get the Nuggets past the Celtics. He'll have his work cut out for him...dealing with those loaded Celtics.
