    NBA title down to 4 teams

    Only 4 teams are going to be able to win the title

    Phoenix
    Memphis
    Boston
    Miami

    Each of the last 10 years, the NBA title was won by teams in both to 10 of defense and offense

    Only those 4 are this year

    I hope Williams can get back and play like he was playing before the injury. Celts could be clicking on all cylinders.

    The Suns can get beat / they are not a lock in the west.

    I'd like to see Boston, but are they deep enough?

    Guys you know how NBA playoffs work

    It's a whole new season

    Don't fall for the trap teams that racked up regular season wins

    Watch out for the teams with stars that save the best for when it matters.

    Never forget it becomes NBE in the playoffs

    I don't really think Suns in 4 but it seemed like a good thread for the "Suns in 4" guy.

    I’m taking a ticket or two on the Nets to win the East. they can beat anyone in that conference in a short series with their co-mvp’s
    And Durant? when the playoffs start? He can destroy anyone, whenever he feels like it. Can’t guard him in the playoffs

    Not a big fan of Kyrie but appears to me his head is screwed on a lot better lately too, yeah, maybe Brooklyn, without Harden I'm OK with that.
    It's Harden I can't stand, Kyrie? I just think he's goofy.

    Nasher: sixers have zero shot winning the East. If you cap the coaches? Doc+Harden=

    Miami has no shot either imo, too much dysfunctional distractions on that roster, this guy banging that guys girl, the other guy banging that guys boyfriend. Total mess
    Especially if the “flop aligns” and fourth street turns Nets in round 1
    will be bye bye bay bay!

    Woj says Simmons’ epi injection has worked. Possible debut for the Nets after the play-in

    Do any of these games tonight mean anything regarding seedings?
    I've been out of touch the past week with the NBA, my head has been up MLB's ass all week.

    All I know is there's been a shitload of 240+ games lately.

    I've triggered a bunch of NBA Total bets this week, spreads too. Not Contrarian Fund, but spread and Total Funds.

    Had a small uptick in wins, then it's been a disaster. Down -6 units last 5 days and dipping into negative territory and a low for the season in the spread Fund.

    Totals Fund up 4 units in 5 days and just hit positive territory.

    Those Funds very lackluster right now.

    Faith? Some.
    I'm just wondering if the bench is strong enough.
    I worked in Boston for eight years, I'm pulling for them.
    Good people those Townies are.

    NBA is the only sport where I have no real 'favorite' team.
    The last 'favorite' team I had was when I was school in school when Jason Kidd ran the point for NJ.
    Now he was fun to watch, Kidd and Nash.in Phoenix were fun to watch.

    If Curry plays in the playoffs... you just have to throw in Golden State in the mix. Coaching... Steve Kerr.... You got Cassius Klay Thompson. I mean... I know Klay Thompson ain't no Kobe Bryant.... but personality wise... that boy gives it all he has during the playoffs... similar to Bryant.

    ZERO chance

    Memphis
    Boston
    Miami

    Suns have a shot because the West is down.

    What the hell is wrong with you people?

    Statistically you need to be in the top 10 of both offense and defense to win the title.

    Period

    Phoenix
    Memphis
    Boston
    Miami

    No others are going to win it

    What a horrible take, Memphis has zero chance to win anything.

    Its Phoenix, Milwaukee, Boston, Brooklyn, Miami and Golden State

    Most NBA players come and go within 10 years

    That's what you call a "significantly significant" statistic

    don't the Bucks usually turn up the defense in the playoffs?
