You're right, but Mitchell and Shai's teams have the best records in the league and they need to win to stamp themselves as official.

Because right now only Cav's fans believe the Cavs, and we all need to see OKC do something in the playoffs to prove that they're not just good in the regular season.

I can't really say that Ant should be there.

Agreed. Shai and Donovan definitely should be there. Ant got to the WCF and beat the defending champs on the way there. He don’t have as much to prove/lose.

I just don’t see the “Vets” as having much to lose since they’re already stamped. Especially with Tatum finally winning it all last year

Nah Bron has the most to prove. If he doesn't win a championship for Jeanie Buss this year, his career is ruined. Winning her approval is everything.
 
There are TEAMS that need to win a championship to legitimize their franchises, but not a single star this playoffs will lose anything including sleep if they don't win it all. It's time to let that poverty employee mindset from the 90's go guys. No star wins by themselves. And winning a championship proves nothing. It's not like if the Lakers win it all anyone is changing their opinion on Bron now. "I was wrong, he is better than Mike and Kobe". :lol: You'll just say it don't count or he had too much help or some goofy shit. Mike and Kobe were elevated because they pass as white, not because of team championships. Nobody's buying that lie anymore.

I agree with all.

It'll be a disappointment for the Celtics and Tatum doesn't get to the Finals, but him and they have nothing to prove.

I agree about Ant, nothing to prove plus he's going up against Bron and Luka. Not saying that the Lakers are better I just don't know how good the Wolves actually are?

The pressure's on the Cavs and OKC. Nobody's been talking about the Cavs all season is because they have done anything in the post esp we don't know if they're real.

The same with OKC, the pressure's all on OKC and Cavs.

The Lakers also have some since they acquired Luka.
 
Shannon Sharpe could've stayed as an employee of Skip Bayless after he shitted on him on air. But he gambled on himself and left. 2 years later, Skip is no longer on TV, but debating fans on podcasts. Shannon still on TV and is bout to sign a deal worth what it took Charles Barkley, Shaq, and Kenny Smith 20 years of cooning on TV to get (which they promptly lost 2 years later). Being the loyal employee looking for approval is only cool to poor people, old heads, and coonish Blacks tryna impress whites.

 
We know what's for dinner for the Heat.
