Cavs vs. Warriors: Who's getting sick of seeing the same teams in the Finals?

[EpochLink]

Well folks after tonight we will never the Cavaliers in the Finals again. In fact, they are probably a lottery team next season.

Oh but the Warriors will win next years championship. But hey at least someone new will get their ass kicked by them.

If Lebron goes west, it's the Raps/Celtics/Sixers up for grabs.

Its simply time for a refresher. hopefully Lebron moves to a new team and that team can challenge GS more

 

[Reality Check]

If LeBron heads West, the Warriors are anything but a lock next year.

Quite frankly, as good as they are as a potential dynasty, that would make it five straight final appearances. Not as easy as it looks...especially when you play in the tougher conference

Fatigue and complacency was setting in this year alone. Despite that team being in it's prime.

I think it's embarrassing that the best player in the League has to move around and find all these players to play with to beat GS. No one is taking a pay cut to play with LeBron. Why would a fan invest their time cheering for a team when that teams roster changes so much? I'm sure Cleveland was happy with a championship but the whole revamping of the roster every few seasons doesn't seem worth it. It seems like Lebron is going to always play for a championship caliber team until he retires. He's chasing championships.

FWIW, NHL has had 5 different teams win the title since 2010, while NBA has had 6. Food for thought.

GSW is going to win until Klay or Draymonds contract comes up. Yes, in the event either of them leaves, they'd still have 3 stars but it would easier to beat them.

However, Klay has apparently said he'd take a payout to stay..... so there goes that.

I'd leave if I were him. By the time he's a free agent next year, he could potentially have 4 rings -- why not leave and take a max contract elsewhere? Winning 'chips is obviously amazing, but they aren't going to make or break a guy like Thompson legacy. 3 or 4 is pretty good.

or.... the repeater tax becomes too much for the warriors starting not next year, but in 2019-20. Or in 2020-21 when it goes over 210+ million

It balloons to about 190 million in that season. Plus injuries, Durant wanting to leave, and just the disease of more will happen. They won't win 6 straight titles or whatever. They'll probably win one more in the next 2 years.

The franchise valuation has shot up over 200% since the Curry/Kerr era began, I think Jacob would be OK with paying a huge tax bill. He could sell that team right now for probably 2.5 billion at least.

I do hope KD comes back to OKC LeBron style in a. couple years.

March 10, 1997 - a blast from the past

since 2010, no one from the east other than lebron's teams have made it to the finals

The debates happening in both the NBA and NHL are interesting:

In the NHL people are complaining about too much parity because of the unfathomable run the Knights went on and then in the NBA the debate is that there needs to be more parity and less super teams. Honestly I want both leagues to find more of a middle ground, but at this point I like the parity of the NHL more than the super teams that can be built in the NBA.

well it's over for sure now

Every once and a while it's good to have a dominant team. It's not good when 1 guy has to be apart of them each season.
