absolutely. KD and harden are 2 legit top 5
I mean he barely plays during the season as is these days so you're right about that

I'd say yes, they're going to take a slight hit to scoring and maybe some D so it'll be a bit more even when they face teams like the Bucks etc. but it's fucken KD and Harden
) to hold it down until he's back and get back in rhythm.

Bucks have been fundamentally different since Giannis figured his game out in the finals: pretty much no one can stop him. The Bucks are a different team when he decides to put them on his back and go to the rim at all costs; If him, Jrue, and Khris are fit then they're the next best thing in the east after the Nets and just as good a chance to beat them again imo.
Full strength Nuggets are a team to watch, just like 2019 I reckon they can challenge most teams.
Steph and Klay will be electric; Wiggins is scared of needles though so I don't think he'll matter too much for themAlso whenever Warriors get Klay back, it's gonna be nuts. Just need Steph and co(Andrew Wiggins
I’m a Warriors fan here (or to be more specifically, I’m a Splash Brothers fan), and I’m kinda pessimistic about Klay’s prospects. People say there’s optimism from KD’s case, but we forget that KD had 18 months of full rest for recovery thanks to the Pandemic. If anything, it looks like Klay should optimally be resting for that same amount of time to truly play like it’s 2016 all over again.Also whenever Warriors get Klay back, it's gonna be nuts. Just need Steph and co(Andrew Wiggins
Nope, I don't think they'd make it to finals, maybe semifinals at best. Harden seems to be way too overrated.
or Clippers if PG keeps up his level of playoff play and if Kawhi and Serge return early (unless Ibaka left?).
I mean, Kawhi is only back next year anyway
I disagree. Even with just the two of them and the rest of the roster(minus Kyrie), I think they can win the whole thing. If Harden plays anywhere to the level he was in Houston, him and KD will tear it up.
I agree. Harden's weaknesses in the playoffs were fatigue based closing issues. With such a high usage on ball, he was gassed at the end of close games, and now he's a number 2 option. His rockets almost beat one of the greatest teams of all time before a Chris Paul injury, and Chris Paul is not KD.
I'm pretty sure they are, Kawhi is a beast, and PG is pretty good. On top of that you have a great defender in Ibaka, and if they get another great big man, then they're very likely to win everything.
He's never won a chip so far, so I don't expect him to win even with KD and Kyrie.
I think some people forget they have LMA back. Which will either have a storybook ending....or end in a shakespearean tragedy.
With BOTH KD and Kyrie, a lot of pressure he'd had back in Houston to get them over the edge isn't there anymore since he's not the #1 or 2 guy. He just has to ball to the level we know he can and facilitate; which he's great at. It's just hard to stop all 3 of them, if they're on their game.
I don't think he'll be getting a lot of minutes, at least I hope not. I want to know what's changed from him announcing his retirement in April(?) and now? Because his heart condition isn't something that just happened recently; he's had it most/all of his career.
Nope clippers ain’t built they ain’t gonna put out lebron AD Russ and the gang lebron is looking for blood I know for a fact if they they all healthy they making them finals
I don’t think it was always there, to be honest. Bosh’s announcement was sudden back then, but that can be explained by the condition being difficult to detect in very healthy people. In this case, high-level athletes. That’s what I at least remember.
