We are getting really close to the end of regular season. Only a few more games left to be completed. For now Thunder and Cavaliers look really impressive. But I still doubt both of them during playoffs. They were really good last season too but none of them reached the final series.

What do you think about Celtics' chance for a back-to-back championship? They have done really nice during regular season. I think they will find Lakers or Nuggets against themselves in the final series.
Don't sleep on the Cavaliers and Thunder this playoffs. While they may have fallen short in last year's playoffs, they're currently leading their respective conferences for good reason. The Celtics? Of course they remain the title favorites as they're the defending champions with consistent Finals experience. But out West, I don't see the Lakers making noise. My money's on the Warriors to be the team that advances deeper.
Wouldn't it be fun to see a Lakers vs Celtics final one more time? It looks like it's all possible, Lakers are doing great and they reached as high as third seed after Denver went on a losing streak, and Celtics are second. So the possibility of this is still out there, it snot impossible and we could see this happen.
We need to realize things aren't always that simple for most cases, and if we can make it work then we could make it work. If we can handle any of this, then we can make it change without a doubt, it would not be that bad. Lakers and Celtics have a long history of battles between them, so it is not going to be shocking to see them battling each other again, and it would generate more viewership for NBA than any other matchup ever.
