I'm not sure you understand what "favorite" means, Boom.

You're making arguments for why Houston CAN win it, but they are very clearly not the favorite.

The favourite is the team that is expected to win. I don’t expect anyone else to be holding that trophy at seasons end bunch.

I would say the Bucks are the favorites. Considering they are literally the favorites in betting lines last time I looked.

Regardless, to me they are the most well constructed team, with the best player. And the lack of fans takes away any pressure that lack of experience in big games may have brought.

65 year old Alvin Gentry has been cleared to enter the bubble. Not sure if that is good or bad

Pelicans leave for Orlando today.

Giannis is the best regular season player. He has not answered the bell in the postseason like harden has when he outplayed both steph and KD and then was better against GSW than kawhi was.

Poor argument. You're conclusion is that he never will answer the bell in the postseason based on a very small sample size. That he will never improve as a player, never improve in the postseason, and that experience won't better prepare him for it mentally.

He certainly can, as many players have with more postseason experience. Jordan failed multiple times in the playoffs before succeeding.

This model also benefits him, it could be argued. No fans, no travel, less pressure.

Gentry and D’Antoni could both potentially be in Orlando

he can’t shoot. He will need to improve his outside shot to win his title. Teams will force him to take that shot. At this point in his career, pa bon. Not good enough.

That reminds me of when the bum shooter iggy made the most threes in a game of his career to help advance GSW Past CC. Utter fluke.

I would say it is inaccurate to say they have "no chance".

They are a better team than the Lakers.

this is why i like boston in the east. the energy that teams like philly need wont be there. more focus will be on execution and coaching than ever before. boston's set pieces will be tough to beat in a closed arena in a scrimmage. i feel like boston can probably out practice most teams.

they are the best team in the league on paper. but thats just what it is. paper. probably for the reason you noted that the roster int very good. a lot of role players and we dont know if giannas is ready to be the alpha dog of the league.

i bought in last year, thought they could have given a healthy GSW a real run if they got the chance. but i wont make that mistake again.

Javale played close to zero meaningful minute. And I’d say that GOAT was maybe a little more loaded than this lake show team. just a little

And green literally had to be benched in order for Toronto to get past Milwaukee last year. And is defiantly in the down side of his career.
