Eastern Conferences playoffs is hella garbage

[LV Koopa]

The problem is that no one outside of the Spurs really has the heart and IQ to match LeBron. After he won last year he understood who his only real threat is ( his true rivals in the Spurs).

He is so comfortable against these East teams that dude is actually showing off some handles and moves.

The only hope for these playoffs is if the Spurs can somehow get past the Warriors. Steph and KD have already been exposed time and time again to the point that I would choose the Cavs just based off of LeBron and Kyries mental advantage. Plus the Warriors whole schtick unravels when people just play big and get boards.

This iteration of the Warriors "juggernaut" was undone in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. And low key this is actually the worst iteration of the Warriors as it relies too much on streaks and poor opponent play.

Spurs without Tony and an injured Kawhi is getting beat the fukk down, this isn't about prior matchups with the prime Spurs. Jonathon Simmons isn't holding LeBron better than a healthy Iguodala, better than PG, not better than P.J Tucker, and maybe not better than Crowder. That's pretty much the end all be all right there. LMA can't mentally decide to attack TT the entire game, which is basically their only advantage on paper.

l'm just hopeful that Kawhi comes back at like 80%. Even if he's not 100% he is still the Spurs' best player and makes their team go. But it might be over either way.

F*ck outta here:

2000s Western Conference:

Spurs
Mavs
Lakers
Kings
Rockets
Blazers
Nuggets
Timberwolves
Suns

u are comparing 10 years of basketball to 1 year.

the Rockets were never a contender in the 2000's. the Timberwolves had 1 good season

The NBA is always top heavy. A handful of teams always dominate for a period of time. The first Cavs/Warriors Finals was the first time in about 20 years that Dwayne Wade, Kobe Bryant and/or Tim Duncan DID NOT play in the finals. Before that it was Jordan. Before that it was the Pistons, Before that the Lakers, before that Boston. It's always like this.

But it won't continue...Lebron is getting old and the Warriors will have to make some serious roster decisions due to expiring contracts on the horizon. There will be new dominant teams in the near future. Everybody else is building for when that time comes.

People really acting like the league wasn't more competitive in 2000s

Fair point. outside of a healthy Spurs, I don't think there was ever any other legit Championship team this season outside of the obvious 2.

Ever since Kang came thru and Snoop Dogg the Building

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

Lebron is going half speed out there and still has not lost a game
GS with a little adversary but they got a joy ride too
Scrub teams like Toronto, Boston making long runs
Might be on par with the hip hop product right now

No, Magic explicitly teamed up with Kareem, at that time the all-time GOAT of the NBA. That was the worst fukking example you could have tried to use.

Blatant lie



That's like somebody saying Tim Duncan "teamed up with David Robinson" or Russell Westbrook & James Harden "teamed up with Durant", or Kobe Bryant "teamed up with Shaq"
