I vehemently refuse to watch another Bron or GS match up, I DGAF (I know the NBA still gonna run these nikkas back tho :francis:)

But the future is bright whenever GS stops runnin a train:

East:
Philly
Boston
POTENTIALY Toronto or NYK whenever they throw the house at Giannis

West:
Denver
LAL
NO (AD and Jrue are still young and that’s all that matters)
Phoenix
POTENTIALLY a Jerry West led team or the Kings if they get a real head coach

I’m personally very interested in a Philly vs Denver shootout. I think Philly is the most entertaining team off the court and Denver should have the most entertaining on court offense once they get a 3.

I would love to see KD leave the Warriors
If KD wasn’t there, they would’ve still had a stacked ass bench bro. We like to think THIS GS team would’ve been fukked, but they were 14 deep with former all stars before he got there. Pick your poison.

Even if GS wasn’t there, either old ass brittle CP0 would’ve got a ring or old ass (pains me to say this) LeBron woulda got a ring. It’s time to look towards the future creh

WCF will be the Warriors and NO next year, and that's going to be a crazy match up. No team can do what the Warriors can do on the perimeter, but no team can do what NO will be able to do inside with Cousins and AD if they're both healthy next year. And we haven't really seen GSW attacked in that way either.

It will be Boston out the east next year, and if GSW is in the finals again which is likely, I think that'll be a fun ass series too.

They might not even make the finals if it's Kawhi and KD vs Warriors, Their still formidable but that 1-3 hole they had to climb out of proved they can be beaten. We getting boring finals now.

You gotta understand, the league works in runs. Lakers won 3 straight, stretch of teams switching it up, we’ve gone what 12-13 years between dynasties? That’s like the longest stretch ever. 80s, two teams. 70s lakers, before them Celtics. 90s obviously. That’s just how the league works

We’re in the most diverse time of teams winning ever if you think from 2007 to now

Boston is a beautiful team.

Philly could be incredible team if they add Lebron, or even a lesser player. Especially if anything good ever comes out of Fultz.

Indiana had a spark this year and might build something.

I always trust Pop but San Antonio needs to make some moves.

Portland feels like they're just one big move away, but I don't trust them to make that move...they need to ship out C.J. for a two-way swingman.

New Orleans has a lot of potential depending.

Wherever Giannis or Kawhi are will automatically be interesting.

I can't think of anyone else I trust....though Utah was better than I thought they'd be, so maybe...

Its gotta be Celtics vs Lakers finals eventually. We didn't get Kyrie vs Lebron this year but you know the NBA wants it.

Knicks back in the playoffs vs ANYBODY would be nice as well :manny:

we just had the 4 straight NBA Finals match up and that's diverse. Lol I loved the regular season, the offs were entertaining as well but seeing an uncompetitive finals were a 2x time MVP can go 1-9 from 3 and still win isn't good for the league and shouldn't go down in the finals.


This is only being accepted now because Lebron is in the finals. Imagine the raptors or the Cs getting stomped by the Warriors. The scrutiny would be 10X worse but because it's Lebron losing in the Finals it's becoming accepted
