it's funny because it's true. head to head the Clippers have taken out the Lakers and they have arguably the leagues most prime-time player in Leonard. But regular season results have to be accounted for and the Lakers have been more consistent. Clippers have played like dogs some games.

Nets are better than half of the teams in third tier.

Just saying...

yeah it's arguable but Nets haven't been consistent enough to labeled as a title fave. Nets on a good day can beat any of those teams, not sure if in a 7 game series, tho

Pacers and Mavs have not earned a mention to be even in the 3rd tier. Celtics are up there with the Lakers (spanked that ass)

hmm, Mavs spanked the Lakers too. Should they be first tier or should Celtics not even be mentioned? Tricky. Nah, I'll keep it as is.

you have the 3rd tier lopsided and the clippers are obviously 1st tier.

the nuggets aren't in a TIER above the celtics, rockets, raptors, lol. they got their shit pushed in by houston most of the time

If everyone is healthy I think the Clippers have the best shot because of the experience. If the Lakers or Clippers or hampered in any way with their stars I think the Bucks have it because of depth.

Does better record make them a better team?

Tier 1 - Lakers, Bucks, Clippers
Tier 2 - Rockets, Sixers, Celtics, Nuggets, Raptors, Jazz
Tier 3 - Heat, Pacers, Mavs

Tier 1 - actual title contenders
Tier 2 - teams with an outside shot at making the Finals
Tier 3 - teams with a shot at making the Conference Finals with the right match-ups

Clippers are only third in the West. Putting them in the second tier is doing them a favor.

"Your moms bullshit for giving birth to you." DoctorPussy Proceeds by laughing at his own stupid statement. Am I supposed to be hurt or something? :confusedshrug:

Nobodys taking your opinion seriously bro. And you can make as many lists as you want. Nobody gives a shit about your opinion.

You obviously have a some screws loose because the obvious is obvious:

1. YOU CARED enough to not only read MY LIST but reply NOT ONCE but TWICE, meaning that even after your lame reply you came back in the thread to read my reply because you CARED to.

2. Obviously your mental state is not a well one. You are displaying a level of anger not dissimilar to athletes suffering from multiple concussions and you may need medicinal marijuana. You, in fact, take me way too seriously.

You're obviously not the sharpest tool in the box so I'll let ya go easy. Maybe you're old and going senile, maybe you are bedridden and piss on yourself. I don't know your situation.

May I call you retarded?

Houston is now tier 2. In just taking them over Denver pretty comfortably. Covington is back to his philly lvl of play and Westbrook’s really surprised me, playing like a top 5 guy. Gordon has a good shooting series and they have a chance vs anyone

Giannis, Kawhi, Bran, AD, Jokic, Tatum, Lillard, CP3 have been much better the past few months if u want to narrow it down like that. Hes had some of the best boxscores like usual but when it comes to impact (including defense which he dont play) hes still nowhere close to a top 10 player. solid bottom 20 player overall
