    lol houston from 2018 didnt win... does it mean they weren't championship contender?...

    obviously you need to have luck or the refs on your side...but it doesnt mean top picks are more talented than lesser picks

    the point is you can absolutely compete with no top picks...cant control the luck factor or injuries for the opponent...luck is always most important whether youre good or not

    yanis won despite not being able to shoot and with no top picks...
    what more confirmation you need


    but even if he didnt our brains tell us you can win it all and where you drafted at has nothing to do with if you gonna win in nba or not...and that topickitis is just an opinion, an idea, a crutch for the feeble minded ignoramuses....its only circumstantial and very subjective because gms are human and they err and they dont even pick according to their opinion but according to what they are pressured towards by public opinion

    yanis pick no 15
    middleton pick no 39
    holiday pick no 17
    bobby portis 22
    nwora 45
    serge ibaka 24
    brook lopez 10
    wess mathews - undrafted
    connaughton 41
    thanasis ante 51
    grayson alen 21
    bembrey 21
    jevon carter 32
    george hill 26

    bro brook lopez , pick no 10(ten), was highest picked player on the current and probably this years champs roster

    good buy toppick theory, you trash, always been...

    they have more chance than harden, they went to the finals 2 years ago and lost just because of injuries...

    btw so what if they signed butler or lowry? does it make lowry or butler top picks?

    the point is you can absolutely contend and even straight dominate with undrafted players, teen and even second round picks

    and they only confirmed what bucks already proved
    , dominating 3 years in a row with the highest drafted player on their team being Brook Lopez at 10...

    they are "contending" (not actually contending as they have no shot) because they are in miami and free agents want to go there

    Too many reviews of basic fouls as tokens to teams crying for flagrants left and right to start the playoffs

    3 minutes review over nothing, league should do something about it. Need more Secaucus digital reviews

    Meh... not impressed with the heat. Butler used his one big scoring game per playoffs early. The depth and defense is good for the regular season but without a top ten player I just cant see them making it out of the east.

    The guys calling the game just said if Jimmy Butler played more than just...57 regular season games like he did this year - he's in the running for DPOY.

    That would be really something, because he got the same number of votes I did this year.

    ATL was up by 10 at one point. I look at the box score again, and the Heat are up by 15.

    Welp.
