Is the Warriors/Lakers play-in game going to be the highest rated game of the season if the Finals is any permutation other than Lakers/Nets?

Username checks out. 

But - just for shits and giggles - if it actually is the highest rated game and Lakers/Nets isn't the Finals I'll venmo you $50.

I like how they say "they HAVE to keep LeBron under 30 minutes tonight" to set up some stupid talking point about how incredible he is when he winds up playing 38 minutes in a close win.

No fucking way W's are hanging with this team for 48. Curry may be amazing but it's just too easy to take him out of games with the lack of scoring options GS has.

LeBron is a shell of himself right now. They can't afford to have him play on this ankle again tomorrow night. Needs to dig deep and do some GOAT shit. Someone show him some Zeke highlights from his ankle game.

Meh, they'll just convince themselves that Utah is a better matchup for them than Phoenix.

LeBron is hobbling and you think they'd be a lock to beat the Grizz tomorrow night if they lose?

The last athlete that truly made me shake my head the way I do when I watch Steph was... Barry Sanders. That's the only thing I can compare it to. Just mind bending.

So, I’m off lakers in the finals. I mean- it could happen I guess but they look unhealthy, unhealthy and just overall shitty.

They looked shitty in the bubble last year and lost to Portland in their first playoff game with an embarrassing effort. Health is obviously a different animal, but damn it's hard to count out LeBron.

This, and not to mention all the rust. I heard today the odds makers had LA favored and found that a little curious. I wouldn't have bet any of my money on the Lakers

Still a huge longshot but I took Lakers at +900 to lose the next two and miss the tourney. I feel like they could easily lose twice due to rust/chemistry. But if they don't, and find themselves in a 7 game series, I think they skate into the Finals.

Maybe the Lakers turn it around, but you have to laugh at all of the teams in the West falling over themselves to be on the opposite side of the bracket.

This much I agree with. Fucking pathetic. If you think they're so good and you have Finals' aspirations, you'll have to play them anyway. Might as well draw them early before they figure out their chemistry and rotations.

It’s a weird year.  The Nets are the best team on paper in the East, but they treated the regular season like the preseason, so they may have chemistry issues.  I don’t trust the Sixers, Bucks, Jazz, or Suns.  I guess that leaves the Clippers???  They’re worse than last year.  Might be the year to toss some cash on a long shot.
