And I thought Lakers will be a contender and they will be neck to neck with the Warriors.
Even die hard Lakers fan didn't think of that. I didn't think of that too. How come a non playoffs team for several seasons will be changed eventually to a top team just because of Lebron James arrival. It's not the LeBron anymore that carry the weak Cavaliers prior transferring to Miamin.
Playoffs is the only expectation for them by majority which didn't happen. There are lots of problems including
"personal problems".
But the good thing here is, experienced and chemistry now built. They should now put a strong firepower next season. I will expect that.
I don't think that the warriors could sweep the LA Clippers. Many people doubted the team and those doubt made them pushed to their limits and break through. Stephen A. said 30 wins, NBA media 30 wins no playoffs but they got in. With their teamwork without having a single star player that can carry the team in the long run still they managed to get to the playoffs. I'm thinking of 4-1/4-2 series still for GSW.
Season based, Clippers only managed to defeat the Warriors once in their 4 meetings and that was in OT.
Kevin Durant and Steph Curry's production on that 4 meetings overall is not their usual average, it was below. And because it's playoffs now, just imagined if they meet their averages. This will be a tough path for the Clippers.
