I think the last couple of years, people have, they've had great regular seasons and people have been disappointed on them in the playoffs.
I think they might flip that this year, but if I had to pick, I'd take Boston.
A lot of teams are doing that.
Yeah.
New York did that some the other day too.
I wouldn't pick them either.
They would be my fourth or fifth choice because I agree with you that
that Atlanta could beat them in the first round.
Atlanta's good.
I mean, Atlanta has continually gotten better.
They're good.
Jalen Johnson, you know, to me is an all NBA guy.
I have him on my second team, does a little bit of everything.
Yeah.
Nikhil Alexander-Walker's had an unbelievable year.
And Okonwu is an interesting guy because he's a great offensive rebounder who's now added the three to his game.
Big time.
He's a little small, but...
Yeah, they're an interesting team.
And what shocked me is, not really shocked me, but their defense is legit.
