Your NBA Champion this season?

[chaser15]

Definitely the Suns to lose here this year.  They are stacked up and down and with cp3 at the helm they are in good hands.  My flyer at 15-1 odds is the Grizzlies.  They are young yeah but they are so good.  They will have a tough matchup against the Suns or the Jazz, other than that I can't see them facing tough competition in a 7 game series.  Riding the Grizzlies at 15-1!

Great choice, I am seeing the value on the Grizzlies as well, they played plenty of games without Morant and yet they are still winning games. I can't believe at first but I realize, why not give them a chance, this team is on the 2nd straight in the playoffs, they might have learned a lot in their first appearance, one thing also, Morant is now healthy.

If they can somehow managed to climb and win the western conference finals, they more likely facing the Bucks or the Heat since those two teams have their stars healthy and we should not also understimate the power of 76ers where James Harden is now in their rooster. Could he make some difference in this year's NBA playoffs to push his teams to the NBA finals? We will see.

Nah, please include the Nets in the discussion, they are not an easy team to beat, and since we are talking of a healthy star players, I guess Durant and Irving now are both healthy, so I believe they are the same team who is the heavy favorite to win the championship.

Not having Harden is not really a problem IMO, remember the Nets in the last playoffs, they were dominating their opponent even without Harden, but when Irving was Injured, things have really changed for the Nets, they lose to the Bucks.

I will still go for Suns on this season. They are hungry to get the championship this year after there failed attempt last which they almost got it if they didn’t choke. Ayton is already gain a lot of experience compared last year plus Chris Paul as there leader is very solid IMHO. They will not get the top seed spot on WC if they are not consistent to there game. I’m expecting a rematch from Bucks and Suns to the championship.

But they are struggling, maybe they should organize and learn how to play their roles since sometimes they really struggle to get some good touches in the rim also with their consistency as a team in the court. If they can work will with the current piece they have for sure they will be the team to be watch on this series. I will go with GSW and my second choice is Sun for this season since wuitely they are doing well this season.

Brooklyn Nets deserved to be part of the conversation or discussion because even if they are still trying to survive the play-in tournament which by the way will commence tomorrow, I agree that they are included to the list of top heavy favorite teams to win the championship this season.

Harden getting into the Philadelphia 76ers is a good move for the Nets, in-fact they haven't lost on that trade because they got 3 talented players (well ofcourse including Ben Simmons even if some of you guys won't agree ) .. I really think that having a 3 alpha in the team is bad move because they are all end up competing for those points or end up arguing because of disappointment which they got earlier this season. Having a duo in the team is already good for them as they also got a bunch of good players who assists the duo to achieve a win every game.

[blockman]

I will go with GSW and my second choice is Sun for this season since wuitely they are doing well this season.

That would also be my choice. Suns and GSW. While for the East, I think that I'll be going with the same choice as the others for Bucks. Although I'm also seeing that Brooklyn Nets are doing well.
But let's just wait and see how far they're going to be when the play-in comes. I also have a love for the Mavs, well it's a royal rumble on my mind, and can't wait for the results to see.

[Cryptock]

There is no doubt that the Phoenix Suns are the favorites, but I think the Nets and Bucks can also fight for the biggest trophy of the season. As for who can become the black horse, I have a very strange feeling that the Heat may give us an interesting surprise.

For the East, Heat, Boston, Sixers, Bucks and Nets are all heavy weight in terms of squad. Complete and healthy players will be giving us a tough time to choose, more on opinion though, Nets might climb their way to go to the next round and give anyone a hard series though like what I have said, a healthy squad from all those mentioned teams are also competitive and deserves to be in the finals.

We will wait for the play-in and the rest will be witnessed by our eyes during the 2nd round.

[püsür]

I find it quite surprising that Nets have better odds than Warriors. I can see the two superstar effect but they were doing not so good this year so far. I totally wasn't expecting to see that much of a good odds for them. I was even thinking that their play-in games against Cavs were not sure for them. I had my doubts about their advancement to the playoffs. But I must be mistaken since these odds would most probably going to be true. Other than that, odds for Grizzlies seem really interesting. They have a really good chemistry this year and that kind of a team quality can be important for playoffs. For example, 76ers odds of course are higher but not preferable to me. Grizzlies on the other hand can be quite profitable.

I also like to bet on Grizzlies but a series match is different from facing different teams. I almost put a bet on them to win the Finals but I'm really rooting for the Dallas Mavericks to win the Finals ever since then. However, Luka Doncic suffered a calf strain injury recently. 5 days before the playoffs started, I hope everything will be okay although I'm expecting him to miss Game 1.

The injury really kills the odds of winning a championship for any NBA team.

It spoils the fun for real.

Kevin Durant is the best player on the planet (only Giannis is rivaling him for that honor but he’s #2 as of right now) and Kyrie Irving is a top 5-6 player on the planet when healthy and playing. Then they are possibly going to be adding Ben Simmons to the mix, I’m not super surprised they are favored over them. Plus with Steph Curry and Klay Thompson having been banged up, I think the odds makers are taking that in to account.

One thing I can tell everyone for sure, my Chicago Bulls are not winning the Championship this year

Totally supporting this complete statement , in our time now it is Durant in which the best of the best player we can find , but sad that His team now is  continuously shrinking while other teams are going up.

One thing I can tell everyone for sure, my Chicago Bulls are not winning the Championship this year 

i am Mourning with you here mate, I am Undying fan of Chicago Bull , ever since Micheal Jordan time , hope that one day this team can reach up back once more.

[Japinat]

I got the Warriors, their current odds is 9.00 but I can get 10.00 odds with price boost.

As we can read in the news - https://www.si.com/nba/warriors/news/injury-update-steph-curry-could-miss-playoff-opener
it says that Curry might miss the playoffs opener but I think he will play in the next game, so this Warriors are healthy in the playoffs.

The most important is Draymond Green is back as IMO he is the most important player on the team.

Would you agree with me?

[yayayo]

Nets for the win. I really look forward into the overall scorer Kevin Durant and with the help of the Kyrie Irving I think they would be able to win this season, I want to see the match between Bucks and Nets too KD vs Giannis I would like to see whether the new generation can took over at the league now it is too bad that KD wasn't able to play last season due to injury.

ya.ya.yo!

In terms of boosting the team, yes I agree that Green is the most important player he tower both offense and defense acting like a playing coach each time they are playing. It's nice to see him back both him and Klay will take care of this team while Curry is still resting. If they'll be able to work together and win, the next round would be more exciting.

A complete Warriors with healthy cores would give them a better chance of winning another title, looking forward to them to add
more rings in their fingers.

The last time I saw Draymond Green playing is when they are against Suns with a close score in the 4th quarter. He turn over the ball due to traveling as Chris Paul is pressuring him so it gives an impression that Green is not that good compared before base on his recent match. GSW will be a good contender if Curry will be back with same shooting accuracy when he was healthy. It’s important that his game is in good condition during the playoffs.

[magneto]

Personally I'd go with the favourites - the Suns.

There is a reason why they have the best odds out of everyone. They have a well founded system which works really well, a great head coach, and veteran leadership in the form of Chris Paul. That said they are still extremely young. There is not much more you can ask for from a team.

However it's hard to bet against the defending champs as always. Bucks will have a good chance of coming out of the ECF but I don't think that they will repeat.

[MK-74]

I want the Brooklyn Nets to be champions this season. Hopefully they will be.
But the Phoenix Suns are probably going to win the championship. Because they play better than other teams.

Everyone is welcome to give their opinion. So please post away.

^ Here is my opinion.
I think Memphis Grizzlies, why?
Because they are very trending now and most people choose them, Brooks could fine as a good option too but my favorite team to win in Memphis.
Since Pau Gasol is in Memphis, I have confidence that their team will win and survive into a final match.

Became trending is not total guarantee that they might became the champion this season as therr are also many teams have potential to bag this up. But if they can retain their stars to be healthy on their remaining games and can able to dominate their opponents will there's no further debates on this discussion anymore. But I have a big feeling that Grizzlies will be careful upon handling their stars at this very moment since we can say that they got the momentum on this season.
