Bucks and Giannis, Celtics, Heat Rematch, or Embiid/Harden Sixers?

Lakers - Celtics for history purposes but I'll pick the Bucks because of the superstar match-ups and because I don't want to see the Celtics in the Finals again, they're a boring team and would get demolished on the boards and in the paint. Lakers - Bucks would go 7 games.

Lakers might win this series but I don’t see them making the finals if LeBron doesn’t heal up.

Why would I root for Boston to make the Finals? I'd rather see them get bounced early than endure any more threads about Tatum being a superstar when he's not. Lebron/AD vs. Giannis would be more epic, I've always loved the Lakers - Bucks RS match-ups when all 3 have played.

Denying Tatum is a superstar is pretty dumb at this point.

He's not that dude.. idk what your definition of a superstar is but he's a 2nd tier star.

It's like if Paul Pierce played on a loaded squad his whole career (Pierce was a better offensive player IMO).

sixers lakers has the most starpower imo so I guess i'll go with them. Giannis is best in the league but harden still has more of a star rep than holiday/middleton and unlike some other people, i dont think it's completely undeserved. Also embiid/ad is just a good matchup

Lakers Sixers, both teams talented af with star power houses.

Celtics are pretenders and Bucks don’t have Giannas

Provided health:

- Celtics and Bucks would be the hardest but it's not very epic since I think they'll win in less than 7 games.

- Heat is too weak, Lakers would just win 4-0

- Philly is the one that has the best chance to go 7 games in an epic battle.

Prob this but for some reason I can't see this happening :lol

The 2 biggest cities with the 2 most popular franchises would be it. As much as the Knicks have been a shitshow, they are still the most valuable NBA franchise.

When the Lakers beat the Celtics in the Finals, it should count as two championship wins.

Looks like Sixers-Lakers right now. Although I think Celtics win game 6.

A Sixers-Heat ECF seems far more interesting than Celtics-Heat though, that just seems stale. Give us something else.

Sixers-Lakers would be fun, Embiid typically dominates AD hard when they face each other.

I dont really trust Embiid yet in that stage. I feel like he could choke game 6 also.

Embiid in that pick and pop from the FT line is automatic. I want to see how the Celtics adjust and attempt to take that away. If they don't he easily scores 30 on us again.

we're down to the Celtics and Heat, once more :pimp:
