Yeah this is trash right now, BUT, due to the fact that both the Cavs and GS are dominating so hard, it makes the hype for the Finals that much crazier. Add on third time meeting in a row, and this will be the tie-breaker? It's gonna be crazy.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
who can they even get? arent they pretty much capped out, assuming they resign jrue, and if they dont they are in even worse shape



They'll have some space, they need to take some risks on guys like KJ McDaniels, Troy Williams, Reggie Bullock or Alex Poythress types that are athletic with potential.

I think they resign Jrue, the market for him is pretty small and they know they have to retain him. They simply need average wing players, their frontcourt is dominant.

I hate to say it because I wish I can disagree but i'm excited for the finals and will definitly tune in. But outside of Knicks games I've watched zero games this season not even a playoff game in it's entirety. I used to watch NBA religiously but the super teams have killed it for me. I still watch all the Knicks games but it wont be a league that I watch just any team play anymore like I do for the NFL.

I wish a guy like dj hunter could have translated
I'd sign hunter kj and any rookies that don't get drafted or don't have contracts. Some athletic guys and shooters is all New Orleans needs

So the cap space NO has is really only to resign Jru bc he's already on the team?

Well like i said, i hope their management can do something to support that core this offseason, bc thats too talented of a front court to waste.

a lot of people watch sports to hate

there will be people tuning in the finals to root for lebron to lose

the others will tune it to root for KD and warriors to lose


but whats so fukking fun watching blowout games in the playoffs? If the finals is already decided then whats the point of watching conference playoffs? This year is LITERALLY the most worthless regular season + conference playoffs of all time

nikkas sitting out season games cause they know they finna sweep the damn conference no matter how many games they got to play away :mjlol:

god damn teams like celtics making boston fans happy they made it to conference finals till they face the harsh reality how their team is too many steps below the chance of winning trophy :mjlol: spurs playing competitive games against warriors in regular season just so they could get swept by golden state with that dumbass eastern euro fakkit doing his best bruce bowen impression

Most of the top players reside in the west


East been straight ass cheeks throughout the 2000s except for 4 teams
and what kind of teams do these top players have?

harden got mediocre squad with d'antoni's system looking good in regular season only

westbrook carrying 2006 laker level bums

clippers ALWAYS choke, ALWAYS injury problems right in the playoffs

davis and boogie couldn't make the playoffs at all

dame is playing for a mediocre team

the only spurs can challenge the warriors

basically besides the spurs there is nothing else challenging in the west. It's like 3rd year in a row where some of these big names are facing injuries when its time to really challenge these teams

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

He bytched about the super teams. But really he was saying whaaaaa I want in on the action.

Plus that crying from him also stopped when the ratings were hot every year and the new bargaining agreement came in with profit sharing and bigger tv deals.

So lebron made a lot of the bitter owners and bitter players money when all was said and done with the whole going to miami.

yes, owners may whine about parity and other shyt but they are lying. Superstars always make them money. Same with MJ in 90s, he was making money for every team in the league. Then it went to lakers superstars, now it's Bron and the warriors. There is a reason why some players always get superstar calls too.

One thing that the owners really hate is the tanking, because its fukking up their money too. That's why they sent out colangelo goons to take care of hinkie, them sixers arenas were getting empty like a wnba games and shyt.

I still can't believe how blatant and how extreme their tanking has been the last few years :dead:

I'm really looking forward to the Finals and actually hope both teams sweep through the conference finals.

Last 2 champions, both 12-0 this postseason
KD v LeBron
Curry v Kyrie
Draymond v the world
:blessed:

yeah this doesn't affect the NBA or him at all. The only thing is if people stopped coming to the arenas which is not an issue. And the finals will generate the most buzz since Jordan days so int he end, it will be great for them
This does affect the NBA

It effect the regular season this year and in the future years plus future playoffs

Why watch?
