Adam Silver Says The Golden State/Cleveland Dominance Is 'Not A Concern'

[Buckeye Fever]

Off topic, but I was thinking about LeBron and stealthing.

A couple yrs ago, he had his headband on during a game. If he tried to take it off without people knowing, would that be considered stealthing?

lol this aint true cause it's never been like that.....it's always been only a handful of teams with a legit shot at the title...the 'competitive' series are usually between 2 teams with legit shots and/or 2 teams without legit shots....same as this year...the cavs/warriors series vs teams have been boring, but those other series with teams not named cavs/warriors have been 'competitive' and exciting....

No they haven't

Short-sighted. A highly rated finals doesn't do anything for regular season ratings in the tank and nobody watching several of these playoff games. A TV contract and advertising ain't just looking at a 2-week finals run. The NBA can't continue to have only two weeks where people care.

Ain't nothing changing anytime soon unless either gs or cleve gets old real fast

What should New Orleans do?

They're sitting on a potential gold mine with Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins plus extra cash on the side to throw at another big piece or at some smaller impact players, but i'm not sure they have the vision or competency from up top to be advantageous with what was gifted to them.

Are they still keeping they're coach and gm?

Also, with guys like Butler, PG13, Paul, Haywood and whoever else i'm missing, it also depends what other teams may be on the cusp and what they can realistically afford (plus if said players are in that mindset of winning regardless of the city/location).

funny thing is one of those owners was the main one leading the charge to break up lebron's former "super team"

Even attempting to cancel the entire season as a means of doing so

if this is a "showcase year" for the league this shyt will be a niche sport when that tv money decreases tenfold in 8 years

pelicans are going to try to win with bigs in 2017, and will continue to be in the lotto until the brow decides hes sick of that shyt and teams with someone who wants to build a winner

More importantly, I'm just waiting on the day to NOT see LeBron in the Finals. nikka been on primetime June television since 2011. The Eastern Conference should be a damn shamed of themselves.

Boogie isn't a traditional big anymore, they were actually pretty potent together, the issue is wing play for them.

They could if they get the right wing players, they have some of the worst perimeter players in the league.

Breh, even an average perimeter would have that duo in the 50 win range, they apply so much pressure to a defense.

I would be more excited for the trilogy if KD wasnt a part of it
