Most media outlets, including ESPN, CBS Sports, and SI in the U.S., expected the Oklahoma City Thunder to win the championship.
ESPN said Boston would advance to the final after beating Cleveland if it was not for 2-option Jaylen Brown's knee injury. In the West, Oklahoma is likely to advance to the final with the Los Angeles Lakers. In the end, Oklahoma is likely to win Game 6 (4-2), and the final predicted that Oklahoma will be the final winner with a 4-3 record after a bloody battle against Boston.
Oklahoma is on a roll in the first round of the West. He captured Memphis, the dark horse, by winning all four games.
Memphis ace Ja Morant's injury in Game 3, struggles in Games 3 and 4, but Oklahoma was strong in the end. Shai Gilzer Alexander, Jaylen Williams and Chet Hommegren showed off their strong offense, and their excellent regular league defense remained unchanged in the playoffs.
Still, Oklahoma City is the West's first-round favorite and the strongest favorite.
ESPN in the U.S. made an interesting prospect. He answered the question, "Who is the strongest candidate in the West to beat the strongest Oklahoma?"
The West is strong this season. It's the Wild Wild West. There are the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State, and there are Denver and the Los Angeles Clippers.
