The Pacers with an over-the-hill Reggie Miller, aging veterans and Jalen Rose gave the Shaq/Kobe Lakers a good run. But those same Pacers wouldn't wash this Raptors team? fukk is wrong with u nikkas :mjlol:
The same Laker squad that had old ass AC green & Ron Harper starting? Both them dudes were 36yrs old!

That Boston team had 4 guys who could take over a game. The Knicks had 1. In today's league, a big man isolating in the post is not as viable a strategy with zones being allowed now and being able to double someone off the ball.
Exactly

If you did, what the hell has changed?

The NBA as a league sees the least change of power than any sport. Why do cats act like things are this era only? Glad you took into account the culmination of things. It's always been there

GS rolled over those guys all year with little resistance. Even the Spurs and OKC. And the Spurs rolled over everybody not named GS.

You can't make the argument that the cavs dominating teams means the teams are weak, but then not apply that same logic to the west.
The west produced a 73 win and a 67 win team but its the east that's terrible? Cats don't realize how weak the comp has to be to have 2 teams with those win totals.

That shyt ain't normal.

Warriors got to this point playing the Rockets and Blazers. Worse competition than the Cavs played to this point and it's pretty beyond debate, thus making the premise of this thread questionable
Well I actually disagree with you. I think Portland would beat Atl and Det but even if you're right they are playing OKC now

Yeah we do, we wouldnt call the ACC a great football conference because of just FSU and Clemson.. Outside of that theres really nothing
But college football is different because teams are formally ranked though. In the Nba everyone knows that in a given year a handful of teams can win the title. For this year 4/5 of the contenders were in the west and it's been that way for a while. LBJ has taken advantage of that. It's no ones fault but it is what it is

The better argument is 4 of the top 5 teams were in the West and it's been this way for a very long time

Beat it. Your debate skills are ass.

LMAO naw nikka don't pull the dismissive shyt now. You criticizing the Knicks and pacers for just playing the Bulls hard but cape for the 80s mavs. You wanted this while completely ignoring my OP with general semantics so defend it now. How many divisional titles? Number one conference seeds? Finals appearances? That's cool Aguirre can create his own shot and Derek Harper had a high percentage? What does the finals team have to show outside one Conference finals appearance in comparison to the 90s Knicks?

Yeah right. GS beat OKC bad during the season.

Vegas had them getting spanked.

I didn't hear one person giving OKC the win the other night except OKC fans.

Everybody expected GS to dismantle the west.


Yall can't have both narratives.

Either GS isn't an "all time great" team or the east isn't weak.:aicmon:

Give it up. Majority of fans knew the WCF were going to be competitive no matter what. Regular season means shyt.

No the fukk they didn't.

Steph and the Warriors are all time great. Steph is the unanimous MVP, better than Lebron, and maybe even Jordan.

Who was supposed to compete with that :stopitslime:
