The Finals … call your shot
I’ll be rooting for the Lakers vs Boston as a west coast guy since we didn’t have professional teams in Seattle while a few of us here were young. LA vs Boston will definitely draw me in and I believe they are on a collision course. Still can’t believe the Lakers swindled Luka from Dallas especially with the Buss family running the team since daddy died. If you believe in conspiracy theories with Cuban selling his team and Adam shifty shift Silver needing LA to have a star since Bron is 40 and on his last run.
Boston has the better team on paper but LA has the 2 stars, LA in 7 on the road

Based on what I've read, the regular season is pretty meaningless as a forecast of what will happen in the playoffs. ATBS, the Lakers are not winning it all. No luxury of resting guys or spaced out schedules once the second round starts. OKC and Boston are both younger and better teams.
I don't buy into the LA star conspiracy only because one would think the league would also be doing the same with the Knicks given the NYC market.

Cavs have been poor lately, Denver is now a certified dysfunctional mess.
Probably OKC barely beating LA and then losing to Boston.
-
I’m not buying OKC this year, they are 116 win M’s imo or Minnesota last year. LA in 7 over Boston is more wishful thinking, heart rather than head tbh. The playoffs will be the first time watching an nba game this year.

Sonics always lose to the Lakers when it counts
I like LA but I haven't watched anyone
I think Luca and James are a good playoff combo
-
Cleveland is also potentially a regular season team only, although their fans are pretty bullish since they have the size and length you need to play championship defense. It's possible that they ran Garland too hard all year so they have the #1 seed but a burned out PG.

The early 80s were tough as Sonic fans, more like heart breaking actually. Outside the early 80s, I still had a soft spot for the Lakers as a big Jerry West young fan once Seattle was out especially vs Boston! Hated seeing DJ play for the Celtics.
-
The worst loss in the playoffs was 95. Sonics were a much higher seed
-
I totally forgot the mid 90s Denver loss and the Jordan hiatus Sonic years, seems like a lifetime ago

How the fuck is Houston #2 in the West?
OKC vs Boston in Finals Toss up. Let’s say Boston in 7 if Porzingas stays healthy.
Feel bad for Joker. Not sure what his contract looks like but he needs to GTFO of Denver. Nuggets are on the verge of becoming Portland.

Wizards over Blazers in 6
