1. Milwaukee - Best overall team imo. A defense anchored by Jrue, Giannis and Lopez is the best in the NBA
2. Boston - Just so many shooters and now they're experienced.
3. Golden State - Healthy, this team may be 1 or 2. Steph, Klay, Wiggins, Green and Poole are as good a 5 as anyone has.
4. Phoenix - Either Paul, Booker or Durant will get hurt at some point in the playoffs.
5. Denver - Jokic is probably the best player in the league but I'm not sure I trust Murray and Porter as being good enough second fiddles.
6. Memphis - The sum is better than the parts. They're well constructed. Will depend on how they're officiated imo. If Ja gets every bullshite touch foul and they allow Brooks to play dirty, they will be a threat.
7. Lakers - I wouldn't want to see them in a seven game series. Fortunately, I think James or AD will go down at some point.
8. Philly - Playoff Harden lol
9. Cavs - Kind of flying under the radar. Just don't see their defensive backcourt D holding up.
10. Pels - Only if fully healthy. We could scare anyone.
11. Kings - Not a believer at all. Fox in a slower halfcourt game is meh. Lots of good but not great players.
12. Minnesota - Another fragile headcase team that I cant see going far.

That's it. The others aren't even worth mentioning, including the Clippers.

If both teams can be fully healthy, I’d love to see Bucks vs Warriors personally. I’d give the edge to Giannis and crew

The Clippers should try and get Lilliard, then they would be worth mentioning. Lol

We are winning it all.

Zion will be back, we’ll sneak into the play in by half a game and then make history…

if they get involved in Wiggins life they can win it all. they seem to be accepting his life mess but need to intervene.

1) Phoenix - Durant + Booker + Ayton + Paul is better than any other team's top four.

Giannis > Durant
Booker > Jrue
Lopez > Ayton
Middleton > Paul

I disagree.

I also think that the Warriors are close if not better.

Steph > Durant
Booker > Klay
Wiggins = Ayton
Green = Paul

Def wouldn’t have Milwaukee #1. They won a a title when they had tons of injuries luck, but besides that season have made little to no noise in the postseason.

Middleton is not back to himself, and holiday is one of the absolute worse playoff performers offensively in the league. His playoff TS% over 2 playoffs in MIL is .474 That is unimaginable levels of inefficiency.

For comparison sake there are 201 players who have played enough games this season to qualify on bball ref, that holiday TS would rank 200th only beating out killian Hayes.

Mil has some serious half court offense issues.

I believe the champ comes from the East this year--and will be either Bucks, Celtics, or 76ers

By a mile.

Harden playoff BPM is 13th all time.

A lot of the harden stuff is equal to those saying

Kobe is clutch
Lebron isn’t clutch
Etc

A quick glance at the actual stats tells you how off the narrative is.
