I don't like anyone beating the Lakers in the west if LeBron and AD are, like, 90%. LeBron's not going to have the luxury of tuning back up against Eastern conference weaklings, but still hard to imagine any team beating them 4 times.

Pretty much the same in the East with the Nets, although all 3 need to be firing.

Would be disappointing if it's Nets-Lakers only because neither team has been healthy all year.
I’m in same boat. It’s probably Lakers if close to 100%. I think the Nets might not even NEED all 3 if Harden is healthy. He seems to make either work. If he was out, then I’m less sure. In general, almost nothing will surprise me.

It’s weird where baseball seems to be back to normal and last year was the weird year, whereas this is the weird year in the NBA coming back so soon and no bubble. So many injuries and hardly anyone outside Jokic playing most games. I feel like I have no idea of the relative health or chemistry of many of these teams.
