But I do think Mavs could def give the Thunder a solid run for sure. And that series would go 7


I'd lean more towards the Thunder in 5 or 6 tbh. Luka and Kyrie are still too streaky as shooters to win with the way that team is constructed imo. They need a wing who can give them a consistent 18-20ppg.



I don’t see that series going any less than 6

Because a lot of times are you ever going to see both Luka and Kyrie off and they will help stagger the offense.

But yeah, they should be beating a Kawhiless Clippers team.

I think people forget the hype train for the Lakers last season after they got to the western conference finals. That being said the Timberwolves have Monte Morris now, so definitely yes on the poll.

There was hype but it was a LeBron at about 70% due to injuries so they had almost no chance of beating them. It really just shows how weak the conf was that the Lakers even made it that far.

They were hyped because it's the Lakers and LeBron.

If that play-in game goes just a little bit differently, the Lakers are a 1st round exit to the Nuggets and the Timberwolves likely get past Memphis and Golden State just like LA did.

The Nuggets had alot of luck last year and barely faced any tough match ups, so yes.
