I've heard this term thrown around a lot this season towards several teams (OKC, Cleveland, Hawks, etc).
So let's make a list. What teams legitimately fall under the "no excuses" category?
EDIT: (To make list teams need to be nominated at least twice)
Cavaliers
Warriors
Hawks
Bulls
Thunder
Clippers

Every team out West (when healthy).
Atlanta, Chicago and Cleveland out East.
No excuses=championship or bust, correct?

Re: "No excuses."
Wouldn't the fact there are at least three 'no excuses' teams be an excuse?

Re: "No excuses."
Does it have to be linked directly with a trip to the finals because I feel like my Raptors should have no excuses with advancing to the second round. (the expectations are halted there though)

Re: "No excuses."
assuming health isn't of concern.. okc, atlanta, chicago cleveland & golden state, imo.
cleveland has the most excuses realistically as they're a new team, but anyone with a kyrie/love/lebron trio should be highly regarded.

Re: "No excuses."
Durant has been battered all year. Pending on the severity of his injury an excuse can be made. That's not factoring in the lowly playoff seed they'll end up with due to others being injured as well. Originally Posted by mehyaM24

I kinda do though....
The idea that more than one team can be so favored as to have no excuse not to win....is just ****ing idiotic.

Re: "No excuses."
The closest thing to what should be a "no excuses" team is the Clippers. They've had what people have called the "best PG in the game" the past several seasons. They have a perennial All-Star/All-NBA player leading the team with 22.5/7.5/5.1 on > 50% shooting who will be back in time for the playoffs. They have another big man with the best FG% in the league going for 20/20 on any given night. They have sharpshooters (Reddick) and role players that can go off (Crawford). They've had 4 years to develop chemistry within their core. And they have a championship coach. There is no excuse for this team.
