I didn't see the "Go suck a bag of lemons" option which I'm sure was an oversight so I'll hold my vote till then.
ok fine

I’d like the Nugs or Clips to be honest. Coverage of Giannis / LeBron would be beyond insufferable if either of those two win, and I’m a big fan of Kawhi & Jokic.

I understand Doc but why the Bucks?

I thought a WC team and Doncic doing something ridiculous would be crazy for the league!!

Doncic leading Dallas to a championship in his second year would be a crazy story. Also it would probably start conversations whether he could become the GOAT.

But this season the Bucks have been amazing. Giannis is a likeable superstar. Budenholzer is a very good coach. The Bucks organization has made solid moves all around. No entitlement. They deserve to win it all.

Dallas winning would be awesome. I don't believe they matured during the season to get there this season though. Particularly Porzingis - he needs to become a dependable 2nd star to Doncic for Dallas to be a title contender (which he is fully capable of being).

They are my favourite team in the West.

Man, forgot entirely about Dallas! Tried to limit my voting to teams I think have a legit shot. Porzingis was showing glimpses over his last 10 games (24PPG, 10+RPG, 3BPG). If he can keep that up and Doncic can stay healthy they’ll be good, but not quite title ready this year.

Talk about Bird comparisons if Doncic can turn around Dallas that quickly!

I would go Mavericks, Bucks and then Clippers...

In reverse order, would love Kawhi to out-do Lebron in L.A.!

Then I think Coach Bud deserves a title after his immediate impact with them and what he did with the Hawks.

Most of all I want Doncic to win because he is ace, and want him to rub it in on teams that passed on him. Also Porzingis for a middle finger to the Knicks and Dolan saying 'look what I can do with players around me'.

I would be happy to see Doc win another title, just not at our expense.

Not a fan of the Bucks.  I like Giannis fine enough, just not a fan of the rest of the team.
