LAC/Philly
This is a consensus pick it seems, which in another sport would be a red flag but in the NBA, barring major injury, the best teams are pretty likely to rise to the top

Philly was an easy choice for me in the East (which doesn't mean much). Gave strong consideration to Houston the Lakers and maybe even SA in the West.

I just don't feel the Houston experiment outside the regular season. Milwaukee was a close call for me in the East. Lakers and maybe Denver or Utah with a chance out West

Have to be honest...totally forgot about Denver. Definitely should be up there, as well, and no doubt Houston could fall flat.

I'm just not sold on the Clippers. I have a feeling teams with dominant bigs (Embiid, AD, Jokic) will hurt them bad.

Also, fuck the Clippers.

Why?

All those guys you mentioned don't play inside. I can see them having more issues with bigs who actually play like a big. Not those who are more finesse and settle for jump shots frequently

Who on the Clippers is going to defend (and i'm going to use the Lakers in this example) AD? Or even Dwight and/or Javale?

I could see AD getting 40 against those guys.

And we still have Lebron on the team.

Plus the Clippers aren't 100% yet.

Dwight and Javale aren't offensive threats. They can throw Harris on any of them.

I'm sure they will sign another C eventually. Doubt they go with one C most of the year but in this small NBA world, it isn't a bad thing at all.

I'm just being picky. Any excuse to say Fuck the Clippers really

The Clips haven't won anything in a long time....I mean...ever. So there is no reason to be threatened by them.

I'd love to see a Lakers v Clippers WCF

I think most of the league would.

And then the Lakers sweep those sorry bitches (although that might just be the Lakers fans hoping that)
