Now that the second half of the NBA season has kicked off. Everybody’s eager to find out who will win the NBA title. Utah is rolling right now out of the West and Philly is in control in the East. Well…let’s be clear. They both have the best records in their respective conferences but that means absolutely nothing.
Neither one of them will do jack squat in the playoffs in terms of making it to the Finals as long as the Lakers and Nets are still playing in the NBA come May.
Obviously, there are cats like the Bucks and Celtics that will make noise in the East and the Clippers, Suns and Nuggets making things difficult getting out of the West.
But let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! It really all comes down to the Nets and Lakers. They’ve got the engines built to play at that level. Championship level that is.
If Anthony Davis isn’t healthy and ready to go well before the playoffs start. The Lakers don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of beating the Nets in a seven game series.
Brooklyn has way too much fire power with KD, Harden and Kyrie playing together. Now they’ve added Blake Griffin? It’s NUTS!!! They may as well just ship them the trophy now.
I know that LeBron is known for doing a lot with nothing but there’s no way he’s going to climb that mountain with a banged up Anthony Davis. No way. That’s if AD is even back. Calf injury my butt.
LeBron is still great but he’s 36 years old now playa. In order for them to even get to the Finals he’s got to do way too much in carrying the team on his shoulders to get there. Then he’s got to beat them. I know y’all saw the 2015 Finals when he carried the Cavs to the Finals without Kevin Love and Kyrie. Kyrie played only in Game 1. LeBron balled out but he can’t beat an entire squad by himself. It’s TEAM sport playa.
He’s already doing EVERYTHING for the Lakers to get through this stretch without AD. It’s only so much his body can take. So if AD isn’t back soon he’s got to do all of that work just to get some type of home court advantage. Then he’s got to take all of the bullets getting through the playoffs and into the Finals.
Then he would be expected to beat all of the fire power of the Nets in a seven game series by himself? He’s great but he’s not doing all of that bruh. Crown the Nets now and get it over with. This is like watching a movie after your homeboy’s already told you the ending. Stop me when I start lyin’!
