Health/injuries will decide NBA championship

[Nike D'Antoni]

Clippers are the most reliable team with HEALTH.

The Lakers won't make out of round 1, and Nets I doubt Durant can be healthy for the semis/conference final/NBA final. He'll miss at least one series.

I have Clippers as my new favorite, I had Nets pre-Durant injury today.

It doesn't matter who's healthy right now. What matters more is who's healthy 4-5-6 weeks from now.

The Lakers should be at peak health with fresh legs when the playoffs start. LeBron doesn't lose in round 1.

The Clippers suck and will become the Seattle Supersonics eventually.

Lakers do have upset potential in 1st round if they face Nuggets. Drummond\Trez are the type of guys that get destroyed by Jokic.

Durant will not make it through the playoffs without bruising his skinny chicken legs

I got clippers winning it this year

The Nuggets can't beat the Lakers.

How are they going to stop LeBron and Anthony Davis? They can't.

Flippers have a coach who suck balls. He will be their ultimate downfall later when postseason comes.

[tanibanana]

Somehow it always does... like 80% of the Champions have face one depleted team in their playoffs run, be it first round or Finals.

[Tobio-Star]

The Clippers have been affected by injuries too. Idk when was the last time we saw Ibaka playing + PG and Berveley are very injury prone

[tpols]

Happens almost every year.

KD has played in the vast majority of available playoff games.

Don't let recency bias cloud your judgement.

[Jasper]

healthy team vs best record is an interesting take.
Bucks learned from it ,, and they may even drop to 4th place , just to make sure everyone is healthy for the big push.

In playoff's you want everyone as healthy as possible.

OP with the captain obvious thread of the year.

Don't let recency bias cloud your judgement.

The chance of KD playing this entire postseason is less than 50% if I had to put a number on it. Recency bias when it comes to serious injuries is ok to have. Since the 2019 playoffs, KD has never been healthy longer than a few weeks. I think there is valid reason to be concerned.

[ralph_i_el]

Sadly, yes.

Honestly, the Suns could take it if CP3 stays healthy
