Which team wins the championship?

Right now I want go with the Clippers but I'm going to say Rockets just because I finally don't completely hate them (even if I hate them).

My dark horse pick would be the Bucks. I know that the team with the most wins in the league shouldn't be a dark horse, but they failed about as hard as the Clippers did in the playoffs.

The chemistry in the Clippers is beyond repairable at the moment. They would have to trade PG out and bring in someone else to have a solid chance to compete for the title.

They definitely need something to happen behind the scenes or it'll be a shitfest again. PG just needs to accept that he's #2. I think the team needs to find more ways to get him involved. I agree with him about that. But the role they've quasi-defined for him should be his main role. I see him as an attacker but he's such a good shooter that he needs to extend the floor. So that's going to be a delicate balance.

They have the talent to compete at the top. But yeah, I see the Rockets as more viable if they don't turn into a shitfest too.

Well, I'm giving them more than 16 wins this year :banana:

If they have a healthy roster and if their younger guys can learn and gel, they at least have the talent to go somewhere.

My heart says the Rockets vs. 76ers in the 2021 NBA Finals.

My sane mind says the Lakers vs. Bucks in the 2021 NBA Finals.
My insane mind says the Suns vs. Heat in the 2021 NBA Finals.

And then my gut feeling is the Trail Blazers vs. Celtics in the 2021 NBA Finals.
However, I had a dream that it's the Nuggets vs. Wizards in the 2021 NBA Finals.

So it will probably be the Mavericks vs. Nets in the 2021 NBA Finals.




And the team that I declare the 2020-2021 NBA Champions are the Houston Rockets!
