    Lakers, until/unless the season begins to take a toll on LeBron and he wears down or gets hurt

    Clips obviously. Took warriors with kd, steph, klay and dray to game 6. Now they added Klaw and PG13. Easy best team in NBA.

    Why do people say win the finals? It's called a championship isn't it?

    Clippers. Denver will fade down the stretch and lose in the playoffs. Lakers will fall apart with injuries after the halfway point of the season.

    The NBA Finals is the annual championship series of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Eastern and Western conference champions play a best-of-seven game series to determine the league champion. The winners of the Finals are awarded the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy, which replaced the Walter A. Brown Trophy in 1983.


    The series was initially known as the BAA Finals prior to the 1949–50 season when the Basketball Association of America (BAA) merged with the National Basketball League (NBL) to form the NBA. The competition oversaw further name changes to NBA World Championship Series from 1950 to 1985, as well as a brief stint as the Showdown, before settling on NBA Finals in 1986.

    Raptors. Raptors were always good before last season but the other coach didn't do much to improve the T. The new guy that took over and went all the way really implemented the 3 game and they are shooting the three really well. They do everything well. Siahkam is a beast and what we have seen so far is not even his full potential. By season end he will be even better. Freddy is a good motivator and always gives 110%. Annyobi and Powell will be lot better too by the time play off starts. They are winning games without Ibaka and Lowry and they will be back too. This Nurse guy is a really good coach...he should have won coach of the year award last year. This team can play the d, score from everywhere. That spanish center dude's offense is the only weakness now but he makes it up with his smart D and his offense can only get better. Raptors are the team to beat. I think they win it all again if they don't have any key injuries around play off time.

    You call the winning team the Champions

    Before that, you say who will win the Finals.

    It doesn't matter really, but I'd expect a brit to be more properly versed.

    Tough to judge between Lakers and Clippers, Clips are slight Vegas favorite over Lakers right now to take down the championship

    Anyone saying anyone else is just stupid and/or uninformed.

    Alright cool my bad POTM

    Clips are +300 to win it all right now
    LaL are +350

    Next closest team is Bucks at +550

    These guys that like the Raptors so much can get them at +3500 right now

    Vegas knows

    I say Lakers get it done personally

    Embiid is a mental midget. Simmons is a brat. Sixers wont go far without Butler leading them.

    its still tight and too early in the season. there will be more clarity later on. who is going to be aggressive at the deadline? I believe whoever gets Iguodala will take a big leap. Im praying its the Rockets. that team would be absolutely filthy with his addition.

    Why should they be in the finals? They aren't very good. Who will do the scoring?

    You do realize Lebron has never once been hurt in the playoffs in like 17 years? So you're betting against that?

    What? Raptors needed so many things to go right to win last year.

    1) Buzzer beater in game 7 that was lucky to go in
    2) Acquiring the best free agent superstar at the time
    3) Kevin Durant, the best player in the world, gets injured
    4) Demarcus cousins, a top 3 big man in the world, tears his acl and his quad back to back
    5) Klay Thompson, a top 20 player in the world, tears in ACL

    Lmao. Can't make this shit up. And Raptors now are somehow going to repeat without a guy who averaged 35 in the finals vs. a D league team, and it still went 6 games?

    Lmao. Classic SBR.

    LB if you bet that +3500 price on Toronto and it hits I will give you props for that every day I post here until I die. After that as well if I figure out a way.

    They are nothing without Kawhi, and Vegas knows it.
