I think they have a lot of top end talent, a lot of depth and a lot of different ways they can play with Schroeder and Ellis.

And they, Kenny Atkinson has made, I think a smart decision that Schroeder is like attached to Donovan Mitchell and Ellis is attached to James Harden because the heart and Schroeder fit is a little more awkward.

They just have a lot of Merrill has made himself quite a good little all around player.

Like, I think they can absolutely win the East.

If I had to do like a pie, like an East finals representative pie, I think it would be like 30 to 33% Boston, 30 to 33% Knicks, 20 to 22% Cavs and like 20 to 22% Pistons.

Like, I think that that's like how jumbled it is.

But I do think for me, the Knicks and the Celtics have ascended to their own mini, mini tier.

Yeah.

It's a great segue.

We're going to take a break and we're going to get into the second half of the East playoff picture.
