A lot of teams are one injury away from the lottery.

If Gobert tore his acl in game 7 the Jazz probably dont make the playoffs. Same for the Rockets and Harden. Or Nuggets and Jokic. Or Thunder and Russ.

Utah is more built to withstand a minor injury that LA is my point. Utah has depth enough to compensate for a typical sprains and pulls during the normal course of a season that LA. No team is really built to lose top end talent for a season, but being able to hold serve is important (i.e. around .500). Say Utah loses Mitchell due to a sprain for a few weeks, we can still beat a few teams while he's out because we still have guys like Conley, Bogey, Royce, and Gobert to help carry some of the load. Lakers have.... Yeah.

Clippers look good, but so do we. This really does nothing but makes the Clippers viable contenders, but I don't think they're really better than Utah at this point. We do have weapons to counter George/Kawhi (as much as anyone can). That said, we still have top end talent of our own and better depth. This is going to be a fun year.

Plus is literally screwed the Lakers, so that's always a bonus. I feel for Toronto. They didn't get Hayward'ed insomuch that Kawhi didn't really lie to them like Lord Voldemort did to Utah. However, that still has to sting. They did get some rings out of a it, so there is that though.

yeah, they have a pretty good team there, but they may need to give pg and kawhi some rest - what they may be able to do, since they have enough depth and firepower, more than a posible lakers big3, and the lakers duo has now - and are not a superteam as the big 3 of lebron, kawhi and ad are, so i'm good with it. and i also believe Rudy may dominate that paint if all they have there is zubac and harris

wowwwwww. THe nba is wild. What a twist.

But will say this: respect to Kawhi for not doing the easy thing and joining a superteam. That clippers team is really ****ing good now, but it isn't a super team. Doesn't ruin the league. Would have preferred he stay in the east but I will take this over what I thought it was going to be.

Contrary to popular belief, super teams help the league.

Helps the league, ruins the enjoyment for A LOT of more traditional fans. Fans want to know they have a shot to win and any work their team has done over years isn't obsolete the second a few ego maniacs decide to take the easy way.

those fans still there tho. They just like to complain. The NBA was built on super teams.
