For the first time in NBA history, we will have a different champ for the 7th consecutive time.

[Luke Cage]

No dominant superstar sending everybody home ringless right now.

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Not only are their earnings capped. Movement is limited now as well. Owners finally got what they wanted..cost certainty and control of when and where players go (unless they are Bradley Beal )

You see whats goin on

Luka was eligible for $345 million Mavs said

JJJ in Memphis was eligible for $345 million if he won Defensive Player of the Year then they started fukkin with his minutes

Nasty ass work

 

[bl2k8]

It’s cool to see different teams win, but these one off titles don’t hold as much weight when defending champs arent even making it back to the conference finals the next year. Just my opinion though

 

[Diondon]

Gee, repeating or 3peating is really, really hard huh?

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

Just to think how dominant Zion would be against the defense Jokic only sees in the playoffs . Z sees that type of defense every night. Most double teamed player since the stat was tracked, and the nikka has missed 55% of his games lol.

Slashers remain unstoppable in playoff atmospheres. The middy and 3 helps for sure, but it's hard as fukk to stop a nikka that can get from the 3pt line to the basket over and over again. Look how SGA can eat well. Look at how Ant can eat well. Look how Jokic and Luka score inefficiently and keeps turning the ball over.

We need our American players on better fukkin teams dawg. It's some hoe ass shyt breh ended up in fukkin New Orleans. Now Joe D hoe ass says he's not trading him smh. Bullshyt dawg.

Lmao Jokic has one meh series and now he’s inefficient in the playoffs? You can’t say that American player BS because Luka was making WCF with mid before Kyrie and Jokic supporting cast is whatever

 

[Primetime]

League is in a great place.

Parity, nightly great playoff games, high ratings, "old school" defense, 3 of the 4 conference finalists being small market teams, New York is back. Should be no more bytching for a while

 

[7th Letter Specialist]

Nah. I love this shiit. This decade been going crazy. Even the bubble was tough. The new blood running the old heads out. I felt like they were dominant for too long, it was getting old. Even w/ these playoffs, they really letting them hand check and allat.

I've been reading your Zion takes for years now and I can safely say that regardless whether or not your love for him is sincere, your correspondence about him has gone from unhinged Stan to complete gimmick. This post just confirms it.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Yup so we will see if those folks tired of the same teams/players will put their attention where their mouth is.

Its interesting how we got here. Aprons, 3 pt variance, players getting hurt have all contributed to this. It will be interesting to see if this years champ is able to buck that trend or if that's just the way it is now. We didnt have a back to back champ between Russell's last year and the Lakers in 88. But we did have multi time champs in that span. Havent had a team make it back to the Finals this decade and only Kerr and Mazzula still have their jobs.

People barely talk about the actual champions. They talk more about the ones not winning one than the ones winning.. Then it’s clowning season when the championship team gets eliminated the year after winning. You can’t pit that all on Shaq and them either

I was trolling my dawg lol.

I definitely expect dawg to put up historic numbers whenever he plays his first playoff game though. He's the best slasher I've ever seen. That ain't no stan shyt, the numbers back it up. The double team shyt is a fact though. Breh gets that coverage every night

The gap between Z and the 2nd most double teamed player is wider than the gap between the 2nd most doubled player and the hundredth most double teamed player.

It's not my stat nikka, ask the Owen nikka if he is lying or not or if he randomly made the shyt up.

Fat nikka stays in shape and all my shyt talking will finally pay off. 7 damn years later .

Fixed

 

[Rekkapryde]

I think the BIGGEST reason we see this variance is injuries more than any 3pt variance, salary cap restrictions etc..

that second apron shyt REALLY crippled keeping teams together.

Aint no way the Celtics roster the same next season. They had 2 Supermaxes, and 3 nikkaz making 30 million plus. Jrue contract is for 3 more years.

Horford and Kornet are free agents, they def gone.

Zingis got Last Of Us Cordraceps, but at least he off the books after next season.

They suckered Pritchard with his deal.

 

[jaydawg08]

It’s the contracts and apron rules that have fuked up the “dynasty” talk for the NBA

For as much as people complain about the NBA and wanting parity, I don’t think that’s actually true.

This era of the sport is also “attack the weak link”.. whoever has the worst player on the floor for the longest, typically loses. You’re not gonna see teams with guys who are sole 1 way players getting major min and be champions like that. I feel that era is over.
