My breh. Just no. May I ask how you came to this conclusion?

Was there any point to you quoting me?

No.

Rockets and T'Blazers > Bulls and Bucks
OKC > Pacers
How is okc>pacers in 2013 when pacers were the 1 seed and won 56 games that year

in 2012 heat went 6 games with pacers then 7 with the celtics without bosh, and had lebron not went Goat mode in games 6-7 they would have lost to the celtics in 2012 2012 alone was much tougher than warriors 16

OKC won 55 games in a tougher conference
OKC defeated a 67-win Spurs team
OKC had two top-5 players in their primes (one player who's likely to finish as a top-10 player OAT)
OKC were one win away from beating a 73-win team, and were a great chance of winning a title if they got past the WCF

This isn't even up for debate.

those of you who think the cavs arent in any danger at all must not watch games. the cavs are not an athletic team, outside of lebron. this is the root cause of the poor defense. they also have no rim protector. with that said of course they still defend better than they are now by simply digging in, focusing, and communicating. their deficiencies will still be there though. do NOT sleep on the raptors if lowry comes back. they have a big physical frontline, and a great backcourt. derozen will get any shot he wants, lowry is one of the outside shooters in the league. the wizards will use and abuse the cav back court as well. they have shooters all over the court, and most importantly, they do not fear the cavs. once the fear is gone, thats when they REALLY come at your neck.

lebron is getting too old to have to carry this shyt the way he does.

also the lue is dumb as shyt if he thinks the team needs MORE rest. this team needs as much time on court as possible. they have no chemistry right now.

You're the one using revisionist history, using that old ''east is weak'' argument

At that time people were expecting the pacers and celtics to be great challengers to the heat, some people had them winning, now they suck? :mjlol:



So you're saying only facing 1 healthy team while having home court advantage is a tougher road than playing melo and the knicks in the first round, a young team that had a top 10 player at the time in paul george and would have had 50 wins had it not been a lockout year, Ontop of a veteran celtics team with a FMVP that also was a 50 wins team without one of their best players?

NBA needs to go ahead and just do 1-16 playoffs and kill this conference shyt bc LeBron is exploiting the shyt out of this lol

the plane travel isnt a big deal anymore.

It would be one thing if they were still taking commercial flights like in the 70s and 80s. In 2017, every team has their own chartered jet and the planes are made for giant human beings to move around freely.

They should go 1-16, do away with conferences and divisions imo. Balance the schedules as well so teams can play an equal amount.
The time is now. Get rid of conferences.







Whiny ass nikkas...

Bro its pre teens with a voice and posting on here. Us grown folk just gotta deal with the trash hot takes. I wish Coli had a age restriction but it wouldnt matter i dont think

What's the argument against this? What purpose do conferences serve? True pool play before a playoff is purer. :ahh:

Disagree....Warriors only challenging series for the past 2 years was vs OKC in 2016. And its still rumored that KD threw those last games. Rockets were no challenge the past two years...but they will be this year. :mjgrin:


There's some revisionist history here.

You forget about the 2014-2015 Warriors being down 2-1 to Memphis?

That was a tough series for them and they basically changed it by openly deciding not to guard Tony Allen. They really had a real shot at losing that series until Kerr made that adjustment.

Grizzlies was a tad bit tough but Warriors had too much talent go lose that series. Nobody in the west could compete with them except 2016 OKC....who shouldn't have blown a 3-1 lead just like Warriors shouldn't blown that 3-1 finals lead despite Draymond being suspended Game 5. What about Games 6 AND 7. Warriors have no problem winning away games and beat Cavs in 2015 Game 6 in Cleveland. Both those series last year (WCFs and Finals) we're epic fuk ups.

Yes. They are in serious trouble.

Stop all the talk about what they did last year or whatever. Watch them play the game of basketball. They suck at half the game right now.
