Barnes told who will meet in the NBA finals and win
Former NBA player Matt Barnes shared his expectations for the upcoming restart of the season.
“I would choose the clippers as the winner of the season. I said that at the very beginning of the regular season and I’m not going to change my mind. But I would like the Lakers to take the title in memory of Kobe Bryant. However, the clippers and Milwaukee Bucks will play in the final, and the game will remain for the clippers, “Sports Illustrated quoted Barnes as saying.
