We could have called the Conference finals all year long TBH, infact at the beginning of the year who did not have SA and OKC and Miami and Indy? I had this all along and here it is. You could have went to Vegas with this shit.

Its one of the reasons why I love the NFL, you just never know who is going to win the superbowl even though there are about 5 teams that usually win it all in the last decade. Its so predictable in the NBA. The NFL can give two shits if their poster boys dont win it all, the NBA has to enforce a script

7 game series format FTW. Basically the only way to upset an opponent is to have a gigantic matchup advantage a la GSW over Mavericks in 07.

Why would they be different in that regard? Casual fans would still watch games and buy Durant jerseys even if he never wins a title. For example, see Allen Iverson...one of the most popular players ever, never won shit.

Huge difference between a best-of-7 series as opposed to a single elimination format.

NFL teams have little margin for error.

They are about Lebron and Durant.

Modern popular music is some of the worst in the history of music, hands down.

Happened late last year imo. It was posted then but kinda forgotten about.

As you can probably guess, the internet made a NSFW one. :lol

:lol Brady and Fivehead get every call, and the vast majority of Super Bowl titles have been won by the Steelers, Cowboys, Niners, Packers and Giants....

Isn't that the same shit people complain about with the NBA?

Small market teams have a better chance in the other sports than in the NBA. The Carolina Hurricanes have a Stanley Cup. The Kansas City Royals have a World Series championship. Tampa has a Super Bowl win. Can you honestly say that about the NBA?

This seriously needs repeating. It's hard to upset a team in a seven-game series. If the NBA had one-game matchups, it would be Wiz at Heat and Clips at Spurs (and that doesn't account for first round).
