Shut your damn mouth you inconceivable idiot. Don't you dare disrespect the Hawks like that!

[AnaheimLakers24]

Cavs

no one else comes close to that stacked ass roster. If they fail than it will be the biggest embarrassment for the city, team, and fans. The fans will literally kill themselves. I feel bad their lives depend on a guy

The asterisk is for if Durant comes back healthy.

What's so funny? :confusedshrug:

[Genaro]

I would be shocked if someone other than the following win:
Hawks
Cavs
Warriors
Grizzlies
Spurs
Thunder

[24-Inch_Chrome]

Warriors
Grizzlies
Cavs

Atlanta has had a great year but I don't think they'll be able to get past Cleveland.

[fiddy]

GSW
Hawks
Memphis

Why the hell do people think the Spurs are contenders? Tony Parker has been absolute shit this year. Their offense is just not that great since his decline.

:biggums:

Spurs have won their last 6, and COMFORTABLY...

Parker is averaging 25 ppg on 59% the last 4 games, as he himself said he's getting healty.. you can see an obvious change in their play as to the start of the season, Splitter is healthy, everyone is... 4 lockdown defenders, and Parker is back into shape. If you doubt the Spurs, you're foolish and will be reminded of that come post-season.

[dubeta]

Cavs are not contenders, not yet. Still some chemistry issues to fix, and some playoff experience to gain before we thrown around that label

[keep-itreal]

Cavs.

No excuses

Clearly has not seen the spurs recently.

The Warriors, Hawks, and Cavs are the top three contenders this year. The Warriors have incredible depth, an MVP candidate in Curry, a top 3 shooting guard in Thompson, and dominated teams at home (27-2). Hawks have a deep roster, balanced offense and defense that doesn't rely on one player, and have shown they can beat any team in the league. Cavs have a deep roster with a tandem of a top 5 player, a top 5 point guard, and a top 5 power forward, that have found how to play well together.

[AT9]

Cavs/Hawks/Warriors/Grizz/Spurs

Can't pick 3.

[T_L_P]

GSW
Spurs
Cavs

[Milbuck]

GS
Houston
Cleveland

Gonna have to see KD come back strong before I put them back up there. If he's 100% they're definitely top 3.

[el gringos]

The asterisk is for if Durant comes back healthy.

What's so funny? :confusedshrug:
Exactly. Lot of people like living off numbers from the past. Durant comes back healthy they are the most talented team in the league.


Cleveland, okc, and toss up for 3rd but I'll go w GS

[NumberSix]

No excuses.

[JT123]

Why are so many people picking Memphis? :facepalm
They don't have enough offense to win 4 series. Classic case of a team built for the regular season.
