Let's discuss! I want this one BAD!

For Kobe, for a crappy 2020.

Clippers are probably the only team standing in the way. Bucks maybe.

We're gonna take this one. It's our year, and the only chances of that being derailed are through covid. With the season back on track, i want to see us smash the Clippers in the WCF (4-1 or 4-2). Then, let's humiliate the Celtics in the Finals (4-0 or 4-1) on our way to tying up the all-time championship count.

I’m not super optimistic if Dwight ends up sitting out. Defense already took a significant hit without Bradley.

With Dwight, I’ll say 33.3%. 3 way split with Clippers and Bucks.

Without Dwight, <10%. He is a glue guy for what the team does on defense. Already took a hit like you said with AB out.

If we had AB, I would give us 50% chance and 50% between the Clippers/Bucks.

Going in, we probably have as good a shot as anyone. But lots of unknowns -- how will the layoffs affect the teams, who will come down sick? This will be the may be the most unpredictable playoffs ever.

I am guessing that injury will be the deciding factor

I'd say as good as anyone right now. It's a shame the season ended because we had not only the talent but our team was gelling so great which is what was pushing us above the other contenders. After all that time off and every team looking to regain that rhythm it's a complete tossup all over again for all the top teams. Especially with us losing for sure Bradley and if we lose Dwight as well it's going to be tough.

We are in an unfavorable position compared to pre-covid due to the loss of Bradley, disruption to our great play at the time, and loss of HCA versus LAC, and due to the extra rest given to KL and PG13. Obviously we got the rest too, but they needed it more. So i would say we had a 60% chance then. We probably have a 40% chance now, with LAC and Bucks at 30% each. Still the favorites l

I'm hopeful that the time off has allowed AD to overcome his nagging injuries. He seemed like he was only playing at 85%-90% and the shoulder was never right. If he's all good, I'm confident we win it all.

I'd say we have a 41.34% chance now.

Assume JR Smith wears #6. Remove Avery Bradley #11

Total sum of jersey numbers with Bradley = 309
Total sum with JR, no Bradley = 304

304/309= 98% chance
