    Now to find a team that's left that i actually want to win

    Bring back the Providence Steamrollers.

    Providence Steamrollers - Wikipedia

    random. But better them than the lakers.

    I'm all Lakers this year. My man Alex Caruso is going to lead them home.

    If not them, I'd be happy to see Giannis get a ring. Not the Clippers, not Houston , and certainly not Philly

    Can't see anyone challenging the Lakers , Clips or Bucks really.

    If the Clippers get up, does that mean Kawhi is really the best player in the league?

    He will be the only man to win the title with 3 different teams I believe (LBJ is on two teams as well). If he isn't the first the club must be pretty damn small. I can't think of any other centre piece player in their prime that has done it

    he'll get finals MVP if they win too. 3 rings at 3 teams with 3 MVPs? that's unreal.

    And lets not forget, one of those teams is in fucking Canada!

    BUT, like every stat, we need to add context. He shouldn't have been MVP in San Antonio, Tony Parker was way more valuable. It's not as bad as Iggy's one, but it's up there.

    Then he goes to Canada and everything falls into place. Siakim makes a ludicrous leap, FvF starts playing like a man possessed, and the Warriors lose both KD and Klay for the finals!

    There is always luck somewhere in a title run, I don't begrudge him any of his success (even the game winning 7 bounce shot against Philly). But you cant just say 3x finals MVP's elevates him over others on their own.

    Ha, yeah I'm a bit excited about the season resuming. Even the reg season play-in will have plenty of juice. Eveyone should be rested, and we get to see Zion play again finally!

    look, fuck Kawhi. He's weird and he left my team in the lurch and we have never recovered

    I'm just chucking out arguments that upset LBJ stans (like yourself ๐Ÿ˜€ )

    It is going to be an interesting post-season with no home court advantage, unless you believe the Magic will make a deep run. The best teams should rise to the top but no team has any momentum and even the Lakers, Clips and Bucks need to start again.

    @mariner4life Bah! I think I've said this before, but I don't love the guy, I just don't get the level of hate thrown at him (that's not pointed at you, I know you're just stirring), especially from our generation of fans. Guess its annoying having the young kids call him GOAT, but it doesn't make me dislike the guy, its hardly his fault. At the end of the day he is a bit of a douche and a try-hard, way too brand focused - but if that's the worst thing we can say about him, then he's going alright. He does so much awesome stuff for kids, seems like a happily married dude who gets off on seeing his kids be happy and succeed.

    Reasonable explanation of how the 22 teams into 16 play off spots thing will work.

    The latest LowePost pod with Pelton is also good for an analysis

    Watching NBA classics on ESPN right now. 99-2000 season and itโ€™s Raptors v Suns after the 2000 All-Star game and Vince goes for 50.

    That Suns team though were very good. Plenty of talent - Penny, JKidd, Cliff Robinson, Tom Gugliota, Longley, Marion, Rodney Rogers. Unfortunately for them they came up against a rampant Lakers in the 2nd round.

    Clippers

    Head says Clippers, Heart says Lakers

    Hope Giannis makes the leap and gives either a cracking series.
