Curry only had Draymond Green for company among the championship winning lot in his team the past two years when the Warriors missed the playoffs — they even finished last in the 2019-2020 NBA season. The Warriors went through a barren period for two years to refurbish their young core, get Thompson back after an arduous rehabilitation programme, even as Curry and Green were back to their marauding best. The Celtics’ strong run to the finals, extending their league best record in the year 2022 on both defence and offence, in fact, made some analysts label them the favourites against the veteran Warriors. The Celtics could With Leonard’s impending return, the further growth of the young and ferocious Memphis Grizzlies team, the expected improvement of MVP Nikola Jokic’s Denver Nuggets due to two important players’ expected returns from injury, and the NBA off-season promising some interesting changes and additions to squads that miss one or two key pieces, 2022-23 should be even more competitive.
