Let see if how KD and Harden bring this one up as they have a shared memories of the past, when they've choked against Lebron's Miami Heat back then.
They are very solid back then but not matured enough to carry the Thunders, fast forward with this current line up with a good supporting cast again.
Many fans will jump over to Brooklyn especially those who hate LeBron and Curry.

I get that people are looking at Nets and thinking that they are great but you are forgetting that Lakers still have AD, he hasn't played in a while that is why you may have forgotten him, but Lebron is carrying a team at age 36 right now, he is still the best player in that team at this age, and when AD comes back it is going to be very different, this team was the champions last year and they added schroder, gasol and Harrel on top of the championship team, lost rondo and howard only and that seems fine.
I think it is quite obvious that Lakers are still the team to beat, if AD is injured when playoffs come and he doesn't play in the playoffs, I would understand it, but I think he will be better and he is going to play, which will tip the favors into Lakers. I seriously think that Nets will not be as good as everyone claims when the playoffs start, they are not that great players during playoffs most of the time.
