A contender is a team that has a real chance of reaching the Finals. The West is so stacked they have 6 contenders meanwhile the East only has 2 true contenders.
East Contenders:
- Boston Celtics
- Milwaukee Bucks
West Contenders:
- Denver Nuggets
- Dallas Mavericks
- Golden State Warriors
- Phoenix Suns
- Los Angeles Clippers
- Los Angeles Lakers
where are the nets buddy
Smoking those good vibes (not a bad place to be)
this list was written by someone who never watched Cam Thomas play basketball
We are not contenders LOL
Why are the Lakers considered as a contender but the Heat aren’t?
the pels are so that’s 7
I fucking hate being in this conference. It’s been like this my whole life. Always a bloodbath. Meanwhile the East contenders only gotta worry about who they’ll face in the ECF, if even that.
The Heat exist to crush dreams. You have to count them
every year they look down on the Heat, every year the Heat crushes opponents they shouldn’t be crushing.
My thoughts exactly. When will yall learn not to sleep on the Heat?
I mean I’d argue the east contenders are better than all the west contenders except the nuggets
Lakers? Lmao If thats the case you gotta add the Cavs and did the Heat move to the West?
I would say heat!
One of these teams is not like the others.
Lakers and mavs aren’t contenders though. Clippers are tbd
The more the season moves on (plus what injuries happen), I think more people will jump onto the Hawks and Pacers bandwagons for being this years Kings.
I don’t know if either are actual contenders yet or not, but I think the Hawks could be a sneaky team to put a few bucks on to win the East.
Who invited the Lakers lmaooo
East: Boston, Milwaukee, Miami
West: Denver, Golden State, Pheonix, Lakers (I guess)
So yall are calling a clippers team that’s had done nothing but choke. End up injured to all shit contenders. But a team that just went to the Conference finals and beat the Warriors isn’t a contender cool
