People like it, they just liked it more when the 1-8 seeds for both conferences had enough talent to make a possible run or upset, as opposed to 2-3 good teams for the entire league, period. Mixed in with during that time teams played something that resembled actual defense mixed in with a little physicality.
The last time this was the case was the 70s and that was literally the lowest point of the league.
Not quite, early 2000's at the very earliest. Talent was even more widespread in the 90's before that.
90s? Seriously? 6x Bulls 2x Rockets, so fun.
The difference from today's teams being, those teams then didn't have as easy of a cakewalk to get to the finals as it's been in recent years.
Still never understand this point. People watch basketball cause they like the sport, and they like their teams. I'm not gonna abandon a sport I really like watching just because you can usually assume whose going to the finals. Doesn't even make sense.
I also don't think people would have gotten "tired" of the matchup if KD didn't join the Warriors.
That stat seems even more shocking this morning. That's a record of futility that could last a long, long time.
Their whole cap situation is just a complete fluke. Kyrie and Love injured in 2015, CP3 this year.
Well, no, their cap situation right now isn't all that great. It was great prior, but that's because Steph Curry hadn't earned a big time pay day yet. Nor had Klay Thompson. In fact, none of the Warriors had earned it. I remember when Andre Iguodala signed with the Warriors that it was perceived he was going to be the 2nd option on that team, but Klay and Draymond developed so well.
Draymond kicked a dude in the nuts, there's no luck involved there.
Draymond deserved a suspension in the OKC series; he 100% did not deserve a suspension in the finals for what he did to LeBron.
