Also, this tournament is this summer right? are we sure Giannis is going to play? because I expect the Bucks to make a deep run in the playoffs this year. If they make it all the way to the NBA Finals, there's a chance he might not suit up for Greece.
This shouldn't be a problem for Canada because SGA, Nickeil and Barrett's teams aren't going to make the playoffs, and Murray's team is likely gonna get bounced in the 1st round. Those guys will have lots of rest.Mamba Mentality

Damn you really don't like Denver lmao
The Lakers and the Clippers are going to finish 1 and 2 in the West. The highest the Nuggets could finish is 3rd. If they finish 3rd, they're going to play either the Rockets or the Jazz or the Mavs in the 1st round, likely the Mavs. I don't know about you but i'm taking the Mavs over the Nuggets in a 7 game series all day every day lol. If it's the Rockets or the Jazz then the Nuggets might get swept.
It took the Nuggets 7 games to beat the Murray-less Spurs in the 1st round last year. All 3 teams that I mentioned are way better than last year's Spurs.Mamba Mentality

Hopefully Cory Joseph plays. He's looking around like "where were you assholes last year?" He's very important. Super smart player, he's been awesome for the Kings. We need his leadership.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

All said as if it's facts being spoken... The Clippers will be load managing all year and the Lakers will likely start that by the New Year or ASG. I think Denver will have a better shot at #1 seed than #3. Facts.
The Lakers and the Clippers are going to finish 1 and 2. If by some miracle the Nuggets finish 2nd then they'll likely play the Blazers in the 1st round. I'd still take the Blazers in a 7 game series over them.Mamba Mentality

Not the hardest draw but still going to be tough. I actually think Turkey is the team that will be in the finals. Osman, Korkmas and Ilaysova. plus FIBA always favours these teams who know each other and have played each other alot. Turkey has had a pretty good program for a while now. Not to mention this tourny is only like 2 weeks after the NBA finals so potentially players like Giannis who played a big role in a playoff run might not want to turn around and play.
Prediction- Canada-Turkey finals, Canada heads to ToykoTo be the champs you got to beat the champs
