Thanks for watching this is Every NBA Team’s REALISTIC Path To A Championship

Bro didn’t put the hornets because he knows we’re a lock for a guaranteed ring this year

[lolmouf]

Nuggets should be with lakers and GSW. The tier is "Dominant but not consistent". 2-3 games of looking unbeatable then 1 game where they look so bad.

[heorhiimadatov]

I believe Clips should be higher. Great defense, okay offense. All depends on Kawhi’s health

[rain]

The nuggets do not deserve to be in the same tear as Cleveland bro they’ve clearly regressed and right now id pick the lakers for sure and maybe even gs to beat them

[eyesocombo]

Og anunoby is averaging 28.1 ppg over his last 7, without brunson or the 2nd and 3rd string pgs, and mikal has been one of the most efficient players inside the arc throughout the season, all the media has on the knicks is negativity but i’m thrilled about another 50 win season, that’s a good year in any conference (13th in defensive rating on the season)

[EastonOliver]

OKC could actually take it this year. They’re almost a different team with Hartenstein, having that double big option with Chet and him makes a huge difference in adapting to whatever the other team does.
After losing to the bucks in the cup because of size, they smoked them a couple weeks ago bc they ran double big almost the whole time.
also, their bench is much deeper and more consistent than last year.

[kjjr]

I think people will finally realize how bad the Nuggets actually are. Team is hot garbage other than Jokic.

[hyphensmixtape]

Appreciate the respect you gave the Magic! Hopefully our offensive woes get hammered out in the next couple of years and we can really make some noise in the playoffs then

[elijahloby]

the fact that he didnt even mention bennidict mathurin for the pacers even though theyre slept on shows how underrated he is

[rob.parsnips]

We might get to see a Clips v Rockets series, Harden trying to take out the team he used to carry

[BullD]

OKC is the best team in the league in the regular season, they're an easy 2nd round exit. If SGA's shots are not falling in a critical playoff game and he's not getting his free throws, i have no belief in any of the other guys stepping up to carry the team.

[RobCortez]

Great video. I would call that Rockets, Pistons tier the "Makes Sense If You're Not a Casual" tier.

Both teams are loaded with top picks growing into their roles with great coaching.

And you're right about the Rockets having three budding stars. That doesn't even morning Jabari Smith Jr or Tari Eason.

[ramenenjoyer]

6:58 that was the most obvious foul I’ve ever seen 💀

[johnarthur]

I've had hope for Doc, but he's showing his character. He's a decent coach, he can win games, but he is not a championship coach. He cannot create an elite defense or an elite offense, and relies too much on good players being good to win. I hope to heck we can get a good coach and give Giannis the career he deserves

[Pitty_Tics]

As an OKC fan, Cavs deserve so much more respect than they're getting. Also, Denver is too hyped. They're in the same tier as Lakers and Warriors: flawed, but with enough star power they might be able to make up for it.

[ShermanSitter]

Not everyone thought getting Lillard for Jrue was a good thing. Lillard is not as great as people think and just has a few "Dame time" shots, but is solid is some ways, Jrue on the other hand is a consistent winner and can take over in moments at will when the team needs him to and does all the little things.

[kylev]

I don’t feel like this video outlined the paths of each team like the title said it would.

[payerzer]

Either thibs has to play the bench, or he needs to get fired.

[xdezy]

imhere to speak 18 days later and what i have witnessed from the lakers show that they can also be title contenders and the way they beat the okc by 26 in the 4th quarter is crazy and next game we were keeping up with okc till luka got ejected so i would put the lakers up a bit more

[spiritualgoodness]

This was a great breakdown. The only one I disagree with are the Nuggets. I think they’re first round exits due to a lack of depth/defense. And the offense relies too much on Jokic. All you have to do is what the lakers did; Front him and force someone else to beat you.
