    How is this a false narrative? How would you have gotten Westbrook without trading cp3?

    That’s why the bubble championship is a sham ring. LeBron and AD got an extended mini break in season instead of having to go through a grueling season and then face though WC opponent after opponent. AD is notoriously injury prone and LBJ is up there in age. It’s of course rocket luck to get screwed by facing them I. The year of the bubble

    No the fake MVP Giannis will head home early once again.

    Who would’ve guessed that Lakers would bounce in the first round.

    Don't get fooled, the Lakers will still win. How? Dunno. Looks bleak. I'm thinking Davis will return in G6, Chris Paul will reaggravate his shoulder, and/or Devin Booker will get baited into doing something real dumb. That's more likely than LeBron playing 40 epic minutes at this point in his career.

    I think the Lakers will take this to 7
    At that point I just don't know . . .. I would bet on LeBron

    I have little to no faith in any of the other series to be competitive.
    I think Utah will take out Memphis in 5
    Denver and Trailblazers may go 7 . . . but I don't expect either to get out the next round
    Which is rough cause I don't expect much from the Clippers or Mavs either

    Who ever wins out of the Lakers Suns . . .is my pick to be in the Championship

    it's pretty much guaranteed that ayton, paul, or booker will pick up two cheap fouls ~2 minutes into the game.

    Lakers are 5 point underdogs. I'd bet them covering, maybe not winning, a low scoring game.

    I do think that whoever wins Nets-Bucks will win the chip.

    Harden wanting CP3 traded is not the same as Harden forcing CP3 out.

    Injuries will play an important role here
    AD at 80% might be enough to get by the Suns
    but
    I dunno
