And this year they have home court advantage in a season no one can win on the road and they have that thin air.
At my work since we all work in sports, we all make predictions in office pool for prizes and bragging rights.
That was my pick I think four days before the season began.

I was a bit worried when Philadelphia had a bad October. But they have looked good since then.

Denver is really good, but so much is wrapped up in health. Murray looks good for a few games and then bad for a few games.
Porter Jr. Is a walking injury risk. But he had a good season.

I could pick apart any team. Relying on James Harden as my finals winner may be a fools errand.

But I could give pros and cons for all 16 teams.

As I said before, it may be wish casting. But I think we are in for a really good playoffs.
