The difference between multiple rounds of meaningful, competitive basketball and zero rounds of meaningful, competitive basketball is pretty enormous. The West playoffs would have been incredible this year. Instead they were unwatchable.

All these finals do is remind me that dirk is the actual best player in the league. Did it by himself for real, no super team needed.
I don't mind these blowouts, I think they're fun. My team ain't in it, so seeing some ridiculous ball being played is fun.

Lmfao. How? KD isnt even taking a big cut.
Curry's bargain contract is the whole reason this is even possible. There hasn't ever been a situation like this in NBA history.

There is nothing to fix.
Human beings deserve the right to work where they want.
Realistically they cant max out Klay or Dray. Those two will get their paydays elsewhere.
GSW will be great for 5 years then the next team will step in.

Cause the West in the early 90's sucked ass. And even then it was 3 teams twice and the Chuck lead Suns.
Go bitch to the player development guys in Minnesota, and Philly, and Orlando and Nawleans and everywhere else where all these young players came in and haven't developed to where they should be.

Love actually showed up tonight. He needs to stop being treated like the expendable one on the Cavs when it comes to their starters
To be honest guys, this is moment the NBA changed forever.
What about the Celtics big 3 from a few years before that? Malone joining up with Kobe and Shaq?

Just as long as Spurs don't make another finals for awhile. Rating killers
I mean you can still hate the team. KD is still on it..

People are laughing at LaVar but if Lonzo balls out, in that market, he is gonna sell them shoes, especially in LA.
He just ain't selling me a pair, 'tis all. 
So what would you do. Do you want penalize the Warriors for being a well run franchise that plans ahead?
Celtics are a well run team too. They are a top 5 team and have the 1st pick. Should they be penalized?
Because I can't think of anything you can do that wouldn't be unfair to well run teams.

I don't, it would make the league boring as sin and wouldn't even do anything impactful. Best players would still always win, it's a 5 on 5 sport, you can only do so much.
The league is working as designed and it's fine, don't like it, tell KAT to get his ass into as many workouts and film rooms as he can and hope the Brow gets help.
I'd do nothing. There's nothing to be done and personally, I don't have an issue with it because the alternative is basically just the same thing anyway.
The league is fine, teams missed on Curry and he turns into the greatest offensive player in history.
Sucks to be them.

Coward, if for some reason the C's draft him I'm buying all the BBB gear they make.
Not this?
I think they're different situations. Teams made by trades are not the same as free agents making a Super team.

Doesn't count because a gm set that up :V /s
Trades = colluding in free agency.Not this?
Magic, Bird, or Jordan were in the finals from like 1980-1999
For like 6 of Magic's 8 finals appearances it was against the Pistons or Celtics
Who the fuck the Bulls play? The Blazers? The Sonics? Their best competition was an old ass Stockton and Malone once the three peats started

I was very letdown by him tonight
And the Bulls were favorites for all 6 of those championships. Lebron's teams have been the favorite twice.
It would be nice if Kyrie and Love could both show up in the same game.
I would admit, Chris Paul would definitely help Cleveland more than Kyrie has
The NBA truly does suck now. It's hardly worth watching. I mean, it has usually been a league where you know who's going to be in the finals and you rarely get any upsets in the playoffs. But now it's more extreme than ever. One of the best players ever can't even make a contest out of this. It's silly.

Honestly the closest anybody got to pushing them were the Suns and even then.
Cavs with Conley

Those shoes just look like your feet would hurt after an hour of wearing them. Lonzo will have his feet and ankles taped up so he will be good.
Everyone else trying to ball in those are gonna die.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
Come on man! This isn't a way to talk about people who work this hard to get here. Laying the blame, let alone in its entirety, is mean-spirited. Maybe you should look internally if you want to find fault with the Cavs and Kyrie because it was YOU who thought they ever stood a chance in hell. Just cause they got lucky last year, you decided to stay in a fantasy land where the cavs actually stood a chance against a healthy Warriors team. Instead of blaming Kyrie, why don't you get on your knees and pray to KD and Steph and beg for forgiveness for the blasphemous thought you've been harboring in your heart that cavs somehow had a chance in these series.
Warriors in 4
Its not a different situation at all. HoFers teaming up is HoFers teaming up.

Warriors need to cut down the turnovers and foul troubles for the next two games. This game really had moments where it felt like the warriors were in trouble
Even then I'm betting folks knew...Chuck and KJ wasn't gon do shit

He couldn't make a contest of it because the second best player on the team played like shit.
You guys kvetching about competition, if Kyrie even shows up half way tonight this is a close game, instead he pissed all over himself on both sides of the court, reminded us all he is horrible on defense, and provided next to nothing offensively.

Kyrie is the only player who can bail out LeHogan.

Oh I ain't buyin that shit for 500 either lol. I don't care about the dad much either. He's a living cartoon character imo XD.
Lonzo looks like a good kid which is all that matters. And if he "balls out" like he's been doing in the NBA, his dad could be Don King for all I care.

Yeah, I'm aware. I would have stopped watching during the 60's and probably the 90's if Jordan hadn't quit.

Hold up. Did I read a complaint that the warriors and cavs have played 3 years in a row so that's unfair? Do some of you need a history lesson? We ain't gonna act like the celtics didn't play the lakers 4 out of 5 years during their most dominant era? Or how the lakers had a dynasty in the early 2000's or the bulls in the 90's? Or how a good chunk of the 80's was just pretty much the lakers and celtics?
C'mon now. You guys whine about everything

It was actually the Knicks in the previous round. That was the only time during MJ's run that the Bulls looked like they might have been in serious trouble.
NBA should move to eliminate conferences and just do top 16 teams. I think that is the only way to stop super teams as of now.
That way there could actually be different matchups in the Finals each year. Warriors-Spurs with a healthy Kawhi would have been a better series than what we are going to get.
