    What are you even asking? Are we the favorites? Is it possible? Is it a guarantee? We are obviously not the favorites, but there's definitely a chance. I don't know what I'm supposed to vote if that's what I think.

    Who knows? It’s not the most unlikely thing to happen.

    Would have to assume that this year’s top teams are verrrry far off from last years warriors though.

    We had the talent to hang in with the warriors last 2 years but we are getting older and worse each year since 2018.

    Also keep in mind that team was designed to beat warriors specifically in a time the rest of league was weak. Not the case anymore- our lack of size and no real C may do us in.

    In the end luck and timing may prevent us from ever winning. Fielded our best team at the time a historically great team existed.

    Went all in on 2018 and 2019 when it may have made sense just to contend and set ourselves up for this year. Having harden already locked in is a huge advantage no other team has, but in hindsight it makes more sense to keep rest of roster flexible for past 2 years vs going all in.

    Nope. As it stands right now...Don’t have the star power. Don’t have the depth. Don’t have the athleticism.

    I think 5 teams have a real chance. Not all equal, but I think these 5 are clearly ahead of the rest probability wise.

    Lakers, Clippers, Bucks, 76ers and Rockets

    4 teams might surprise

    Warriors, Jazz, Blazers and Nuggets

    Mostly agree with this except I would put the Clippers above in a tier of their own.

    Judging by this game and being able to dodge the warriors this year, i put my vote yes. Lets see how good the clippers are, but i went on a limb and voted yes. Its nice to have this team and best player in the world.
