Who will rule the NBA’s Eastern Conference at the end of the 2022-23 season?

In the offseason, every player of every NBA team (with a few notable exceptions) is in the best shape of their lives. Every team is in the running to win the NBA championship.

Once the regular season starts, however, the rose-colored glasses come off and reality sets in. Each passing game inches us closer to what the league will look like at season’s end.

In the NBA’s Eastern Conference, the Boston Celtics are, by most accounts, expected to dominate in the 2022-23 campaign. But how will they stack up against their peers in the East, and how will their peers stack up against each other to set the table for the 2022 NBA playoffs?

The hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast got together with guest Zak Noble of the “Noble and Roosh” Ball Is Life podcast to suss out the order of the East for next season.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to see what they came up with.
