How many teams have a legitimate chance at winning an NBA title this year?

Thor4140 · 03-10-15, 09:36 PM

One and it will come from the West if the Cavs make it thru the East. Nba and the crook Stern paid off Cleveland thru corrupt drafts for losing Lebron. Lebron coming back made an ass out of Sterns corrupt kindness. Cavs ain't winning shit. That is how the NBA rolls fellas.

Portland before Wes Mattews went down would have been my number 5, but since he is down for the playoffs, I would take any of these five teams if healthy. Cavs, Bulls, Spurs, Warriors, and Grizzlies.

Rookie coach, jump shooting team, Andrew Bogut will get a hangnail any day.

They're out.

Don't like their team Irving and Love not good all around players. Indiana will probably beat them in the first round with Paul George returning.

Stop making jokes, man. This is a serious thread.

Why did the Thunder not make the cut?

They were on the cusp, but it's going to be too tough to win three series on the road in the West. Plus, Kevin Durant's health is a huge factor.

Seaweed · 03-10-15, 11:25 PM

JJ, what do you think about Raptors? Can they make it to World finals?

innovation · 03-10-15, 11:37 PM

Yep this is correct. Portland would have definitely been in there but their health is an issue. LOL at Bulls or Toronto

Seto · 03-10-15, 11:56 PM

Any one of the top 8 teams in the West if healthy. If I had to rank them by chance of winning I'd say

Grizzlies
Warriors
Spurs
Rockets
Thunder
Blazers
Mavs
Clippers

Nobody from the East is winning shit.

jjgold · 03-10-15, 11:58 PM

If healthy the odds-on choice to get to the finals in the west or the San Antonio Spurs let's not kid ourselves

Slanina · 03-11-15, 02:01 AM

I have future bets on Cavs and Spurs at the start of the season. Im a Cavs fan since day 1 so I'll stick with Cavs. Mozzy was the missing piece.

goduke · 03-11-15, 02:02 AM

I think it's inevitable hawks are getting to the finals, the nba wants to maximize the sale price on the hawks. Only way I can see that not happening it's a gut wrenching close loss in the east finals to the bulls. Cavs arent winning the first year with lebron back and they arent losing it in the finals so it has to be before that. i think the only teams winning it are coming out of the west. Gstate, okc, spurs, Memphis that's it. It'll all depend on the matchup. For the first time in years there's more then 2 teams that can win it all

Well they're not likely to win but I can't eliminate the possibility.

Blazers will struggle without Matthews, the Clippers and Rockets are typically soft pretenders, and the Mavs look like shit these days, so I can see where you're coming from.

I have been quietly impressed with Houston this year though. They're still totally unproven as far as a playoff team but I feel they've taken a step forward from last year.

YouHave2outs · 03-11-15, 03:17 AM

on 5dimes

Cavs +250
Warriors +430
Hawks +800
Thunder +800
Spurs +875
Grizz +1100
Bulls +1350
Clipps +1750

drops to +3000 from there for the mavs, rockets, and blazers, and then plummets to 60 to 1 from there.

I wouldn't say that.

Everyone out West is going to be beating each other up to get to the finals. Atlanta or Cleveland can easily win it all this year.

pavyracer · 03-11-15, 07:42 PM

No one can beat Atlanta in 7 games.

The Giant · 03-11-15, 07:48 PM
