Everybody sleeping on the clippers 🤦🏾♂️. Ima come back to this when they win it this year🤷🏾♂️.
If Steph, Klay, Dray, Wiggins, Poole, and GP II don’t get hurt, it’s the Warriors. End of. Stop being stupid.
The Suns LITERALLY have no depth and can’t stop a cold in the playoffs.
I would honestly love to see a Warriors vs Suns Conference Finals especially this year because Draymond may not possibly be with the Warriors next season. So this year would be the last chance with the trio of Steph, Klay, and Draymond playing together.
Stephen A knows ball
My goodness Warriors about to both frustrate and shock the entire NBA this postseason .. Ring #5
As a Basketball and GSW fan… I don't think the warriors diserve it this year.. Their road games were unwatchable and it feels like they just did not care. Lack luster energy and effort on the road. They were not the championship caliber team I have come to expect in the last decade.
Warrior
Kevin Durant is bring a chip to the desert this year
It is Suns or Warriors
I would lean towards the Warriors, because the Suns would rather not win the West
They are The Cowardly Lion in this Wizard of Oz remake
With Wiggins, healthy and getting back in shape, I'll take the defending Champs
Doesn’t ESPN do this every countdown ??? That or the MVP ??? Or who’s the GOAT ???
Grizz gonna win it
Wilbon calling Booker a Hall of Famer??? He hasn't earned that yet. Cmon bro. SMH
I think Warriors can win west even from six seed but will loose in finals to Boston or Milwaukee
Wow! I just realized KD pulled a similar move when he left OKC for the Warriors.
so u saying kd joined a team with 2 hall of famers one in his prime that was in the finals 2 years ago & had the best record & was #1 seed last year 🤣
Let's go lakeshow🏆 road to the finals
You’re wrong here’s why
Stephen a was literally just on rich eisen today saying it's suns Celtics in the finals
Can’t wait till the dubs finally get squashed and he realizes he’s putting too much stock in them
remember Stephen A calling the warriors going back to back last year when they won
Clippers in 6 against suns
GSW💙💛
Everybody says WARIORS! 💙💛
Golden State will win the West
Stephen A is hilarious. What has Durant done to be considered the best player in NBA rn?!?! Over Giannis , Curry, Bron, or even Tatum who swept him in playoffs last year. Durant has yet to prove he can lead a team to a championship. That's not best player material
Kevin Durant is so good that he turns the hoop into an ocean, for his team.
The lakers will win western
SAS picked GSW…
GSW not winning the West 😂
The Phoenix Suns
Screamin' A. Smith? I can't believe anybody cares what he thinks. Honestily.
Two guys closer to 40 vs a team that's like all under 25 years old and on fire running the same offense you do but actually better since we're the leading scorers and your defense is also trash😂 with your assistant coach who's helped you win a championship already. So shhh let us play
Whoever you pick is. Is your pick. Idk about yall but I'm so excited for this Postseason. Man Idk who's winning it all. You got the Warriors, Suns, Clippers, Bucks, Celtics, Nuggets, Kings, Dammit Lakers and Pelicans. It's so unpredictable and I'm EXCITED.
Warriors will win
4th and 6th seed? Favourites? While in the east the favourites are the 1st and 2nd seed. Out of 74 total NBA championships, 65 have been won by one or two seeds. Fourth seeds have won once 6th seeds have won once. Muppets.
I hope the Kings and Grizzlies win both series we can stop hearing about the cancerous warriors and cancerous lakers.
