Will people start to lose interest in Cavs vs Gsw pt4, 5. Etc..

[Trapperman Dave]

No..
That's like people saying they got tired of the Lakers vs. Boston..
Or seeing The Bulls play every year..
People love to be revisionist with the shyt. The only thing I see people mad at is GS(which outside of KD, the whole team was drafted. Nobody saw Klay/Dray becoming all stars and if you did you a fukkin liar. Everybody wanted to keep Monte instead of Steph and people thought he wouldn't have a career with those fragile ankles. Basketball gods saw otherwise). Nobody will get tired of Lebytch/Uncle Drew in Cleveland. A lot of people(especially Lebytch Stans) want to see his ascension as the Goat over MJ(which will never happen) but the cannon will keep Brian Hogwurst a job along with the other terrible journalists on ESPN..
Both fan bases are rabid and as long as their team makes, ratings are going to be huge. And nikkas talking about they tired like they really would tune in to a Rockets/Washington series or a Clippers/Boston series
Get all the way the fukk outta here with that bullshyt..
nikkas will complain once this rivalry dies. So sit back because this is going to go on for a long time

Yes I would definitely watch clippers/boston or Houston and Washington

So much can and will happen in the next 12 months. There is no way everything is exactly the same next year. You got injuries, personal issues, trades, FA, other teams making a leap. If I woulda told you on this date 3 years ago that we would be heading into GSW/CLE III right now, you would've looked at me like . We were extremely close to not even getting part 2 last year.

If we do get it, there will be interest. Bron is The Coliseum so there will always be interest in him. GSW has huge stars also.

I don't get the whole "East is garbage" argument when the west is equally as lopsided. Just because San Antonio has a possibility of sneaking in if they're healthy, the west isn't that much more balanced. The Rockets, Thunder, Clippers, Jazz, Grizzlies and Blazers aren't serious threats to win the West

It was a legit argument at the turn of the century when the East had no legit contenders while the west had the best 3 or 4 teams. Even with that, you move SA to the east 20 years ago and none of this talk even starts. It only continues now (despite West teams running through the conference with regularity) because people either aren't paying attention or want to take away from what Bron is doing.

Unless teams in the east draft better it won't get better next year hopefully the 76ers do something tired of seeing them hog up talent and not use them

Wizards, still waiting for Wall and Beal to "put it together"

2017: Eliminated in the 2nd round
2015: Eliminated in the 2nd round
2014: Eliminated in the 2nd Round

Celtics: Al Horford, Jae Crowder, Avery Bradley, and Isaiah Thomas are not bad, but it isn't enough to compete with Lebron and Kyrie.

Bucks: Where is the progression in everyone besides Giannis?

Golden State Curry, Thompson, Green improved as they grew together
OKC before the break up when they had Durant, Westbrook dudes got better
San Antonio when Duncan got older, Kawhi became elite and switched the system up.

We don't see this type of progression in the East.

Real talk how much basketball did you watch this year?

Wall has been fantastic and has made huge strides.

Do you have any idea how young the Bucks are? How tf could you expect them to progress to the point of GSW in one year? Warriors didnt start making serious noise until their core players were well in their mid 20s. Middlton is emerging into a solid player, Maker has shown flashes, Giannis a beast, Brogdon will likely win ROY, And Parker was looking good before he got hurt. Theyre a Well coached team so you known theyre only gonna get better

GS will implode. I see egos interfering with the run. Klay getting pushed away. I see him leaving

 

[Loose]

Depends on the outcome of this finals and the shift of the offseason

teams are pretty much capped

 

[dh86]

I don't think you'll see this matchup next year.

I think the Cavs get knocked off.

People are completely underestimating how injury prone Kyrie and Love are as well as the fact that this is an older team. LeBron is also 14 years deep and the miles will catch up sooner than later. This is literally the oldest team in the league.

The 2011 Lakers were one of the favorites to win the chip going into the playoffs and the Mavs swept them. Things fall apart much quicker than people realize.

By who?

Depends on the outcome of this finals and the shift of the offseason

The best players that can possibly change teams this offseason are guys like Chris Paul (only to the Spurs) or Jimmy Butler (who can't compete with Lebron or Durant). Clippers don't have the balls to deal Blake so off-season won't do much.

 

[Shadow King]

yeah ppl forgot how quickly things are

like lebron went to the Cavs specfically to combat the Spurs. nobody was thinking GSW would be an all-time dynasty back in 2014.

I think Bron just went to a team with a younger #2 and #3 not necessarily to combat the Spurs specifically. The Heat won 1 and lost 1 to them so it's not like they were the mountain LeBron couldn't climb.

Do you nikkas seriously believe this bullshyt?

Every GM out East is waiting LeBron out. They're too p*ssy to make moves and challenge him. Cleveland are finals lock till at least 2020

If the Spurs get CP3, it's a toss up between them and GS next year doe

It's an extremely agenda driven talking point. The Cavs run through all of those west teams very easily.

This is clearly disingenuous

Look at the allstars out west vs East.

Those teams may not be serious threats to the West in your opinion but they are much better than the contending teams in the East

 

[mbewane]

shyt I've lost interest since Kawhi went down and hardly watched the East after Milwaukee got eliminated...I'm damn near in offseason mode.

Low-key can't wait for the European tournament late August. I have a feeling the Finals gonna have a couple of blowouts and will be a 3 pt and fast break contest.

 

[Shogun]

If GS start dominating the series I'll lose interest. If it goes back and forth, or if the Cavs dominate it will stay interesting to me

All of those teams had 1 all star. (Gobert should have been, and Paul got hurt) but Houston being better than Indiana doesn't mean they'd put up much of a fight in a playoff series vs the Cavs.
