Assuming everyone is healthy, shouldn't the finals basically be boiled down to these three teams?
The Thunder should be even better next year because they have championship experience/confidence (similar to the Warriors ump from 2015 to 2016).
Pacers/Celtics are off the table due to Achilles tears and subsequent roster moves.
East is locked unless significant movement happens. West is a bit more open. I could realistically see the Nuggets or Rockets in place of the Thunder. Should be one of those 3.
Not too familiar with mitchell i take it? East wide open. Bucks, 76ers, pistons, magic, heat
Cavs are in good shape to make the Finals, Mitchell probably would've led them there this year if not for all the injuries they sustained. I think the team that drops off the most next year is Minny, unless they make certain changes in their frontcourt they'll always be at a disadvantage playing 4 on 5 offensively. With any hope, after that big deal they just gave him, Reid gets more playing time at the 5.

Zero chance for the Wolves unless massive injuries hit.
Conley will be like 38 or 39 and Gobert is aging like milk. They lost NAW, and are a 2nd apron team that cannot sign buyout players.
I think it's pretty damn wide open in both Conferences. OKC obviously are the big favorites right now but I didn't think their title run was that convincing that I'd just pencil them in for the Finals right now. Bunch of West teams upgraded.
i'm hoping jokic puts together a run cuz i can't watch another shai finals.
Atl is now a threat
Pistons are a threat
Giannis is always a threat
We are a threat
But cavs and knicks are the big homies of the east
craptors are a darkhorse i guess
nets are a lock for dead last in the conference. Thats the only lock in the east forsure

who is we?
I think magic make conference finals. Paolo and Franz just such a hard duo to stop if they develop as expected. Their defense is gonna be top 5 too not a weak spot there
I wouldn't jump to anointing the Thunder for the finals already. They're a great team, but the West is still a shark tank. Denver took them to 7 games, and they very well may be even better this year. Don't count out the Lakers or Rockets either.
