NBA: 3 Eastern Conference teams that will regress in 2021-22
Three teams that could regress in the Eastern Conference heading into the 2021-22 NBA season.
The start of NBA training camps are on the horizon and preseason games will follow shortly after. The 2021-22 NBA season is nearly here and after a chaotic offseason that featured big moves at the NBA Draft and via free agency, there are several interesting storylines that will unfold over the next few weeks.
But moving away from the transaction, the on-the-court product is expected to be quite good as well. From the defending champions to year two (technically) of the Brooklyn Nets experiment to the Ben Simmons saga, there are plenty of interesting Eastern Conference storylines developing.
Heading into the new season, how will the conference stack up against the defending champs? Which teams will inevitably take a bit of a tumble this season? A few weeks out from the official start, we predict three teams in the East that will regress this season.
