Just how anticlimactic is this year's NBA FInals gonna be?

[MikelArteta]

Raptors were robbed against the warriors

Payback brehs

 

[Full Measures]

Just like u did last year right

what is you talkin bout

 

[SithLawd]

It'll be like the early 2000s

Maybe Lebron has an AI like game and gets cleveland 1 game

 

[The American]

Playoffs a whole different beast come on we know this.

Smart nikkas do, dumb ones get surprised when a low seed wins.

Probably not as much as this thread

A thread can't be anticlimactic, learn what a climax is, stupid.

GSW' odds to win it all are way lower than the 96 Bulls were at this point in the season. A lot of bookies weren't even accepting money on the Bulls to win, everyone felt the playoffs were just a formality, and they were.

Whereas in late March 96, 99.99% of people felt the Bulls would win it all, now only about 75% of fans feel GSW will raise the trophy. Reg season means sweet fukk all.

Let the games begin

Yall not looking at the matchups...

1st off, as last year proved from the playoffs. There's no guarantee the Spurs are even gonna make it. Looks like they'll have the Rockets in 1, the Clippers in the 2ND and then a rested Warriors team

 

[Ain't That Something]

GS vs Heat = Heat in 6
Spurs Vs Heat = Spurs in 5

Year after year people think they can predict how the playoffs will go based off of the way the regular season is going... Then the playoffs begin and everyone remembers why it's the playoffs

Who had the Mavs winning the west in 2011? NO ONE. Who had them winning a title? No one.

All of 2012 everyone swore that the Spurs would be in the finals... then they lose to OKC. Everyone thought Miami would selfdestruct again. Exact opposite happened.

2014 during the reg season everyone was waiting for a Miami 3 peat. Didnt happen & Spurs took they soul.

2015 the Cavs were ASS during the reg season.. That 12 game losing streak capped off by them getting smashed by the Kings. Everyone was talking about how it would take a 2-3 years for them to become real contenders..... Months later they damn near win the title . Did people forsee the MVP of the league turning into a ghost against an undermanned Cavs team that narrowly missed getting the cotdamn Eastern 3 seed? I know I didn't.

It never fails. by the time February ends people be talkin bout "I m not even gonna watch cuz we all know what's gonna happen." Like, really? You sure about that breh?

Curry did not go ghost gtfoh with that

Naw...Lebron losing in the finals has become a yearly tradition for me and a highlight of my sports calendar...I sit back and reminisce over his finals losses like other do with Jordan's championships. ..the Dallas Chokejob and the worst finals ass whooping in nba history to the spurs stand out the most...I'll be watching to see how he tops it this year

Savage.

 

[Floyd Pinkerton]

Roughly as anticlimactic as this 1-star

 

[yaaa_mad]

Heat in 7

 

[Weaver31]

OKC vs Celtics or Heat

 

[Sterling Archer]

And yall thought 2007 was a waste of time. shyt's gonna be more awkward than the Super Bowls after Dallas faced SF.

Fixed.

 

[NoMorePie]

If GSW makes it to the finals again, I ain't even going to consistently watch the finals... Maybe some highlights. Obviously game 1

 

[Lord Beasley]

The Cavs have to actually make it to the finals. I smell a collapse

 

[Hammer]

East has ZERO chance of winning the title..

worst case Spurs/Warriors win in 5
