Wouldn't surprise me. Spurs are still the favorites imo. As usual I think a lot of just comes down to match ups in the West.

I worry about OKC if KD's injury forces them out of the top 4 this year.

I disagree. They were so motivated last year because of what happened against Miami the year before.

They'll be very good. They might even finish with the best record. But I don't think they make the conference finals this year.

The Clippers might be the favorite to me.

It's so ironic - Is ironic the right word? - to hear Jeff Van Gundy talk about how we should be "more sophisticated" when evaluating players. He says (paraphrasing) that just because a player doesn't win a championship doesn't mean that player isn't a champion. Not surprising, coming from a man who never won one. Year after year, Van Gundy finds a way to excuse or justify his own and other players' losing.

When considering Premier league clubs Tottenham crossed my mind, but the Grizzlies side of me just would not allow me to cheer for a team called the Spurs.

Van Gundy is right though. The championships argument is stupid. LeBron is a Top 2 player of all-time. He has one championship if Ray Allen doesn't hit that three.
