re: The Ringer post deadline Championship Power Rankings - Pels at #14

I didn’t say the toughest, I said as tough as any.

There are a good 4-5 teams right now that in my mind can push for a chip if healthy and hitting at the right time: Denver, Memphis, LAC, NO, PHO, Dal, and I believe LAL has put themselves in that mix. Their biggest hurdle is climbing out the hole they dug.

One that requires health that AD/Lebron have not shown the last couple seasons. But if they pull it off like the Pels did, I would not want to play them.

My hope though is street clothes reverts to his natural state, in street clothes, and Lebron starts piling on the lingering issues again.
