OKC Thunder
Clippers
Spurs
Grizzlies
Knicks
The obvious omission is the Rockets who have been playing well, but I just don't think have enough talent...

Oh, and didn't include Miami since they're the obvious favorites...
OKC because they'll be playing 8 on 5 regardless of what team they play.
if not for VDN, I really like that Clippers roster... Jamal can win you or lose you any game...
Thunder: Don't have a ball distributor, won't get past Miami any time soon. Also won't receive any favorable calls against the Heat
Spurs: Aging but are still good in every field of the game
Clippers: Lack half court offense; have to depend on CP3 to be Kobe
Grizzlies: Size but lacking a legitimate #1 option
Knicks: #1 option present, good balance of vets and kids, good balance of D and O
I'll go with the Knicks.

ks and Erik Sp
elstra were "coaching" in the Finals last year....
Another ful take from irishock? What a surprise...![]()
It's a truth bomb. Your Clippers will fold in the playoffs when it comes to grind it out style basketball.
Neither of which really got in the way of the team and talent. Not sold yet VDN wouldn't manage to screw it up.
You mean like last year when the Clippers beat the "grind-it-out" Grizzlies in 7?
CP3 actually likes to slow it down and meticulously set up the offense, tbh...
Grizzlies don't ing count. OKC, SA, and MIA do.
Wait maybe 2-3 more years when Griffin gets a jumper and becomes unstoppable.
The 2004 pistons were the last team to have no legitimate go-to-guy and win the le.
In the West it's gonna come down to Oklahoma City and L.A.C. Anyone saying otherwise is delusional.
West is winnable 1 thru 5 imo. Still, no one is taking the crown away from the Heat.
Warriors, tbh
The way some of you people just pick with a blind-eye for Miami to win it all again is ing insane.
What they need:
Spurs: Healthy/fair called games
Clippers: Monkeyballers have to step up in the playoffs.
Grizzlies: Rudy Gay career ending injury
Knicks: Be better on the defensive end
Clippers could give the Heat some problems, but LeBron will continue to take a wet on the Blunder....
I hate the Heat with a passion but come on they have only 1 challenger in the East. Going to be sweep-sweep-6 game series win- NBA Finals for them. Any team in the West will play at least 6-6-6 to get to the NBA Finals, while the Heat are all rested.
It's a wonder how the Thunder continue to stay healthy.
Champ gets the benefit of the doubt. Not to mention that even with Ali Al Harden, your team could barely win a single game in the last Finals. After the Mavs debacle, Heatles have come together. They're not unbeatable, but certainly the favored team.
Son I bet Clay Bennett sold his soul to ElNono to keep Durant and co healthy.
tbh, I got a good deal on det one. Was cheaper than Malone joining the Lakers.
Irishock is the worst poster in the world. Bar none.
I mean what kind of got take is
"I hate the Heat with a passion but come on they have only 1 challenger in the East. Going to be sweep-sweep-6 game series win- NBA Finals for them. Any team in the West will play at least 6-6-6 to get to the NBA Finals, while the Heat are all rested."
the heat went thru the East 5-6-7 last year, the Thunder 4-5-6, and yet the Heat won the le anyways, dumb .
