Then Lakers and Nuggets at the Finals again? 
The West doesn't excite me anymore to be honest because you can see which team (Lakers in this case) will dominate so yeah it is on Lakers as usual. What is more intriguing to predict is which team will win in the East. I'm still rooting for Bucks but the logics are opposite — Brooklyn is waving. We have the Nuggets, they'll improve, the Clippers which will bounce back and the GSW which I think will be a surprise this season.
I guess it may also affect which team we are rooting for.
West, I'm with Nuggets.
From 1-3 to win against the Clippers is also exciting right? We don't see much of that comebacks anymore
East I am with just going to watch them. (maybe Miami).
Rooting for those kids to come back and try the Finals again. But it's going to be a rough road.
