Yea I would say conference finals is their realistic ceiling this year and that's if they get a Pelicans, Dallas, or Houston first round with like Sacramento in the 2nd round with a loss to a nuggets, twolves, or clippers in the conference finals. I could also see a first round loss to a Lakers, warriors, or Suns not because I don't think those teams are better but are just way more experienced at playoff basketball.

Not true imo. That applies to teams like the Knicks who don’t have many offensive options or superstars. This team is loaded with offensive talent with Shai, Chet, and JW as ur big trio and then Giddey and Lu. They are big and have clear talent both offensively and defensively. They getting past 1st round. After tho gets tough but I can see wc appearance.
