Pacers are no doubt better than the Blazers without Nurkic

Raptors and Jazz is close, I'd give the edge to Utah slightly.

Boston is no doubt better than a Kawhi-less Spurs team (unless you're James Harden, but if you're James Harden you're gonna lose when it matters most no matter who you play)

Cavs and Warriors are both beating teams they should beat and are superior than. But just keep this in mind when Lebron makes finals number 7 and the retort is that he couldn't do this in the West. Warriors playing the Thunder in WCF last year is really the only series that was a lot more difficult than anything Cavs have done the last three years.

He wouldn't make 7 straight Finals in the West. This year notwithstanding. Saying so doesn't make you a James hater.

Meh. They both have incredibly easy roads to the finals so it really doesn't matter. Many people have said since the day after the finals last year these two teams would meet again. Probably the most obvious statement in sports history.

This is a midget fight but I'd say Utah is easily the best team either has faced.

The Celts would have been the 5 seed in the West. Hell, I'd take the Blazers over the Celts even without Nurkic. Dame is a better version of Isiah and CJ is a scorer himself.

Warriors only title was the most gift wrapped title I've seen in recent memory. Every team they played had a top two or three player out/injured/restricted minutes for the series. And they still needed six (almost seven) games to beat Lebron, who had Mozgov as his second best player.
