NBA Question Of The Day: Who Are The Darkhorse Candidates To Make The NBA Finals?
Basketball, The Fam — By The Fam on October 31, 2012 at 9:00 am
The NBA season kicked off its 2012-13 campaign last night, and everything for a moment felt right in the world. Twitter/Facebook/G-Chat/text messages were on fire, basketball bloggers everywhere had purpose again and the chances to see the greatest athletes in the world on center stage was the coronation of day one of the season.
Of course, the talk of who will win the NBA title has already been narrowed down to five teams: Miami, Oklahoma City, San Antonio, Boston and the Los Angeles Lakers. Well, two of those teams lost yesterday, with one of them getting ran out of their own building. (Hi, Lakers fans.)
So in part three of our NBA Question of the Day series, we ask a simple question. Can anyone in the league crack the “Top 5″ squads and make a run at the NBA Finals? Our debaters will be G. Hylton of Durham, North Carolina, and Matt Whitener of St. Louis, Missouri. Let the debate begin.

Yeah, I tend to agree with Matt on this one. I just don’t see any team being able to leap the powerhouses. I really don’t.
I’m just going to put one team out there that I could possibly see do something….
The Los Angeles Clippers. *drops mic*
-Ed.
OK, I’ll give you that … but only because Chris Paul is the best point guard in the NBA.
*waits for Kenny to read this and get upset*
Nah, he’s gonna be held up reading my 2200 words from this morning …
That’s cold man. You let him cop out and say NOBODY? I COULD HAVE WROTE THAT BRO. Smh. *flips table* But he’s right though. I was really thinking we HAD to pick someone. That’s cold Ed. Real cold.
If you are going Darkhorses I like these picks. Denver if the stars align and they get help makes sense to me. I don’t really like the Pacers but I can see why you chose them.
