Who Is Going To Win The Nba Finals This Year?
The Warriors and the Cavaliers are both strong teams, but only one can win the NBA Finals. Who do you think will take home the championship this year?
Los Angeles Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers are an American professional basketball team based in Los Angeles. The Lakers compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA), as a member of the league’s Western Conference Pacific Division. The Lakers play their home games at Staples Center, an arena shared with the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers and the WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks. The franchise began with the 1947 purchase of a disbanded team, the Detroit Gems of the National Basketball League (NBL). The new team began play in Minneapolis, calling themselves the Minneapolis Lakers in honor of Minnesota’s nickname, “Land of 10,000 Lakes”. The team was relegated to the NBL’s Eastern Division for that season only before rejoining the Western Division the following year. In 1949, led by center George Mikan, who signed a contract with messenger-service owner Abe Saperstein that paid him $5,000 per year playing for him full-time, they won a playoff over Fort Wayne to win their second NBL championship.
Milwaukee Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks are an American professional basketball team based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Bucks compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the league’s Eastern Conference Central Division. The team was founded in 1968 as an expansion team, and play at the Fiserv Forum. Former U.S. Senator Herb Kohl was the long-time owner of the team, but on April 16, 2014, a group led by billionaire hedge fund managers Wesley Edens and Marc Lasry agreed to purchase a majority interest in the team from Kohl, a sale which closed on July 15, 2014. The new owners announced the hiring of head coach Mike Budenholzer on May 17, 2018.
In October 2018, the Bucks fired head coach Jason Kidd and agreed to hire former Houston Rockets and Atlanta Hawks head coach Mike Budenholzer as his replacement on a four-year deal.
Toronto Raptors
The Raptors are looking like the team to beat this year. They have the best record in the league and are coming off a big win over the Golden State Warriors. They have a deep team that can score from anywhere on the court. They also have a great coach in Nick Nurse. The Raptors will be a tough team to beat in the playoffs.
Golden State Warriors
In recent years, the Golden State Warriors have been one of the most successful teams in the NBA, winning multiple championships. This year, they are once again one of the favorites to win the NBA Finals.
The Warriors have a star-studded lineup, led by Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. They also have a deep bench, which has been a key to their success in recent years.
The Warriors will likely face the Houston Rockets in the Finals. The Rockets are led by James Harden, who is having an MVP-caliber season. However, the Warriors have defeated the Rockets in the playoffs in each of the last two seasons.
The Warriors are a strong team and they have proven that they can win championships. If they can stay healthy, they should be able to win another NBA title this year.
