Question to NBA fans, if your team is not one of the top in the league, do you actually think there is a hope in hell they can win the NBA championship? Not on the short term? But with the right moves and luck in the long term yes. Take GSW, they were an average playoff team not even considered one of the best, that Lebron didn’t even considered a possibility to face in the finals. Money Made has alluded that his second stint in Cleveland was constructed to specifically defeat the Spurs. Then right steps were taken. They got Steve Kerr because cheap ass James Dolan didn’t wanted to pay him more, David Lee got injured and Draymond took his spot, then Kerr convinced an all star in Iguadola to come off the bench and lead the second unit. Good management made an average team win a ring. They got rid of the psychotic Mark Jackson and the rest is history. And the man behind it? Jerry West. Jerry West also was a driving force in convincing Durant to join GSW by saying that he regretted always getting killed in the finals by Boston and that KD would regret not getting a ring. Please come back home Jerry, I don’t care that you’re older than Mickie James. Yea, LeBron went to the Cavs because he wasn't beating the Spurs with Miami
However, GS turned the league on its head and everyone has been playing catch up with their style over the last 5 years. LeBron didn't realize the good management he had with Miami and Cavs (2nd time) so with this turmoil in L.A., I think an older LeBron is a tough sell as seen with them not getting Paul George and others

Dame is not even one of my favorite players because he always talk that underrated shit when he's number 5 in top 5 PGs but yeah him and CJ is balling right now
Looking like another failed year in OKC with potentially their best all around team in years

Jerry, you’re getting up there in age, you want to end up a Clipper or return home? Cause if you stay a clipper you’ll never make it past the second round. Stay with the Clippers, Jerry. Look where they're at now, you can easily build a championship contender with the Clippers. You could get AD or Kawhi, maybe even both. Stay with the Clip Show. The Lakers are Umaga. The Clippers are Manu. The Lakers are the Transformers. The Clippers are Gobots We have banners and numbers retired, they have selfies. Return to the greatest franchise in sports or stay with the b team.

Whoever wins Golden St/Houston is going to the finals
Portland may have a chance to make the WCF but that's a tall task against either Denver or S.A

I still believe that if Bron helps Pat Riley convince Melo to replace Bosh and with a young Hassan Whiteside, the Heat win a couple more, but that’s the problem, LBJ thought he was smarter than f***ing Pat Riley, he isn’t.

LeBron doesn't like young players tho. Kyrie was the outlier because he is a f***ing animal and LeBron needs a closer
LeBron came to L.A. hoping they trade all their young players like what happened in Cleveland and it didn't happen

Westbrook had 1 point in the 2nd half and shot 5/21
Unacceptable

Unfortunately I can’t blame them after watching how Love and Kyrie were scapegoated at times. The only names coming I see are the guys who grew up idolizing LBJ like Davis. And if Kawhi really joins the Clippers I think I’ll have an aneurysm.

CP3 is going have to be as healthy as possible
Draymond right now is playing his best basketball in like 1.5 seasons and I think he decides the series

Call me crazy but Bogut can tip the scale on their favor. His rebounds and getting them second shots is something they didn’t have with Cousins.

Lakers I think overpay for someone like Middleton who is a good piece but not to be the 2nd best player on a L.A. team looking for a title
They don't want to make the mistakes they made with Russell and Randle but with LeBron you have to embrace you are good now and f***ed 4-5 years after he leaves

Westbrook will soon have that moment where he will reach out to KD and apologize, I predict that in three years, Westbrook takes a lesser deal to beg Durant back just to get a whiff at a finals.
Practice the shots and stop with the stupid triple doubles and turnovers Brodie. Point Guards weren’t created for rebounding just stop it dude.

Man, OKC is going to make for an interesting 30 for 30 one day. Westbrook will soon have that moment where he will reach out to KD and apologize, I predict that in three years, Westbrook takes a lesser deal to beg Durant back just to get a whiff at a finals. I don't think Westbrook's ego will ever allow that. Honest truth is I think his stranglehold on the franchise is reminding me a lot of Kobe's in his latter years post-injury. The FO is going to keep rewarding him for being their loyal star. If he and PG13 eventually end up having a breakdown on the team spinning on it's wheels I see the FO trading Paul George before they would Westbrook.

Call me crazy but Bogut can tip the scale on their favor. His rebounds and getting them second shots is something they didn’t have with Cousins. The best thing Warriors can hope for is Bogut cancels out Capela which would be great
Cousins would have been a decoy and stretched Capela from the circle which means KD would have been in the paint all the time cause no one stopping him
Harden is going have to be great and the bench is going have to make 3's consistently in order to keep up with G.S.
Don't allow Klay to have one of his legendary games where he gets 30 in a quarter because that's what he does in the clutch

Broussard and VC said that living in Toronto was tough from a psychological standpoint, because something as stupid as the food as the channel can throw someone off. Leonard would also be the first superstar that would want to stay, something VC, McGrady, and Bosh didn’t want to do. Masai Ujiri gambled his career by doing this trade. We’re on unknown territory here. Also does Kawhi really wants to be stuck with a declining Kyle Lowry during Leonard’s prime years?

Man, OKC is going to make for an interesting 30 for 30 one day. Reading about their creation and watching the documentary about the death of the SuperSonics. OKC was built on cursed ground, they essentially tanked so the city of Seattle wouldn’t give them a new stadium so they could bounce to Oklahoma. It’s like the Clippers, they drafted Moses Malone and had Bob Mcadoo, but they traded them away so they could tank and leave buffalo.

Iguadola is also an important piece, he’s slowing down but is still a brilliant defender.
