NBA: Way-too-early playoff predictions for the 2021-22 season

NBA Finals matchup: Brooklyn Nets vs. Los Angeles Lakers

Not only is this the NBA Finals matchup that many basketball fans simply want to see but I believe it’s one that will ultimately materialize. The Nets and Lakers will also be the two best teams from the start of the season to the end. It works out perfectly.

Of course, this is also assuming health. I’m not sure if either of these teams will be able to make it this far if they’re not healthy. The Lakers and Nets are going to need every key part of their team healthy and hitting on all cylinders by the time the postseason comes around.

If this matchup does indeed materialize, there’s no question that this could end up being one of the most anticipated NBA Finals in recent history.

Ultimately, once again, I believe that Kevin Durant will get the best of LeBron James and the Nets will win the 2022 NBA championship. Will it be the first of many for the Nets? That remains to be seen, but they at least get the first with this current big 3.
