The finals I got nets/clippers. Kawhi and Durant have faced in conference finals or finals the last 2/4 years and both got injured. This year I think they finally both stay healthy.

Raptors lost their d anchor gasol and their 6th man Ibaka. Expect them to take a major decline this year before rebuilding completely.

You do know what rank means, don’t you?

Steve Nash comes off as a Mike D'antoni clone and wants to play Durant at center for a lot of minutes? If that ends up being the case, I'm way less high on nets and don't ever see them making finals.
