Straightforward Article

Other factors might include (if we are talking about playoff success) could be the following

Bench Depth / Top Heavy Teams
KD/Booker/CP3 will have to play major minutes and play D. Teams will force anybody besides KD and Booker to shoot

Luka/Kyrie are two Uber talented, with a very weak bench, hence have to play major minutes. Not worry about their defense because they don’t play any


Chemistry
Clips are the Clips are the Clips

Grizzs with the Ja situation and Clarke out for the season, maturity issues are popping up

Kings are a young team with no playoff experience hence nothing to lose. Fascinating to watch their initial battles in the playoffs

Dubs have to figure out how to win on the road with its younger players

TWolves will have to integrate KAT back into the lineup
