The Nets were the width of a 3-point stripe from having a darn good chance of winning a title. It of course depended on whether Kyrie or the Beard could recover in time (or KD not going down with injury as well) to help win a series against ATL or PHX.
I haven't checked the oddsmakers, but I'm guessing that the top 2 odds-wise are LAL and BKN and it's fairly close, then followed by MIL, DEN and LAC, and then UTA and DAL? |

So that's a "sell" on these teams/players based on uncertainty mainly about injuries? Or I guess you can try to outsmart the betting markets; you're saying that the oddsmakers are giving too good odds on either of these teams? Anything you'd like to specify in terms of better odds ratios? (I can't take seriously that you'd give them no odds at all on winning a title. It's about probabilities and you're just giving them low probabilities.)

I dont see the Laker's imploding but I can see injuries to AD derailing the season. Everyone knows the Alpha Dog is LeBron, at least for the first 47:55 seconds of the game.

I think BKN look very hard to beat if theirs are healthy.
Lakers probably have more question marks even if everyone is there. So I'll say the Lakers. Even though I think they'll win. But if neither teams make the Finals we'll all be winners. The drama queens on these 2 teams are off the charts and it's better without them.

Harden - HAS NEVER WON ANYTHING! Head case. Durant - Great Player. Irving - THE BIGGEST HEAD CASE of All-Time. Can't play a week w.out needing to attend to family matters at Harden's strip clubs. The best thing for the GAME of basketball is for both teams to implode early...and to have a GWS / Milwaukee final. |

Politics and chemistry should be fine with Lakers, not so sure about Nets.
The injury factor is so important. And defense is also critical. After a long season, with their age will the Lakers have enough left in the tank to play elite defense? If healthy going into the playoffs, I will take the Lakers. I really don't like Harden and his antics/foul play. I remember watching Harden actually grab the defenders arm and hitting himself with it - and then somehow drawing the foul for getting hit by the defender. Then the time the defender was running behind him, and Harden stops, leans and shifts to get in front of defender, and the poor defender bumps into him with defensive foul. Dirty player in my book. OMG, only Harden. He deserves to NEVER win a ring. Hope karma sees to that. I own not one single Harden card and never will. |

I don't think either of them implode but I would say the Nets would be more likely. I have no issue with Kyrie but I could see him choosing to focus on something else for a little while and that causing issues within the team.

I'd take the field over both of them.
I'd be surprised if either went into the playoffs at full strength.
