I think there are currently 10 contenders in the NBA that can realistically win the NBA championship this season. About six out west, four out east. I'm going to name each one. You tell me the argument for them winning the finals. Give me one reason they can win the chip this year. Just one? Okay. If you want to give me a few, you can, I won't stop you. But one core argument for them. First off, Oklahoma City Thunder. They're like that. Shea, that's the only reason. Defense. Lightning strikes twice. They were that good last year. They're that good again. The one reason would be J-Dub gets healthy. And we know what they can do. They can do it again. Caruso starts to score 20.

That's what it takes.

It takes a role player exploiting for you.

Yeah.

There's not much to be said for them.

They've proven they're that great.

They just do it again.

Yeah.

Pretty obvious.

San Antonio Spurs.

What needs to happen for them in the finals?

Give me one good argument.

Stefan Castle and Dylan Harper's shooting slash or treatment as non-shooters turns into a strength for them and they actually turn up and they knock down timely threes and the spacing

and the youth and the experience doesn't come to to fruition or the lack thereof come to fruition like everybody says yeah and wendy's defense in a playoff setting is truly game-breaking that's the real one reason yeah they need to have the guards be able to shoot that's clearly like one of the contributing factors that needs to happen for to happen for four rounds if there's one reason they finals, that's because Wembe elevates the best player in the world.

Whenever we talk about the Spurs,

we never mentioned Darren Fox.

Not much to mention. He's just Darren Fox. Yeah, not much to mention. Like, I'm not even blaming us. It's just like tough. Yeah, because I think he's just like, we just know who he is. He's a reliable, going to be a good second option for them.

We'll have his downnight shooting-wise.

We'll, like, he'll give them the guard defense and slashing

they need to kind of keep their half-port offensive float. going to be a good second option for them. We'll have his down night shooting-wise. We'll, like, he'll give them the guard defense and slashing.

They need to kind of keep their half-port offensive flow.

There's so many young swing factors that he's kind of just like pencil them in for his 20 and six. Yeah. Which could be a good thing. Probably is. Oh, yeah, it's an essential thing for sure. Yeah. But yeah, if there's one reason they can win, it's because Wembe becomes clear best in the world caliber player that he's on equal footing with Shay, with Yokic, because the defense is that dominant in the playoffs. Yeah, I agree. Detroit Pistons. Why can they win the finals? They in the East. They'll get there. So they have 50% chance. Yeah. The one reason they can win, somebody got to do it. Yeah.
