Parity restored?

[lefty]

I hope so :cry

[HarlemHeat37]

It's restored if you mean there are no longer any superteams, yes..

No. Because one of the players in the league who've won the most rings over the past decade will likely collect another one, be it Curry (the Warriors are still a threat, don't be fooled. Curry plus Draymond is a contending core anyway you slice it. If D-Bust fits, they won't drop off much), Kiwi, or Lebron (if the Lakers happen to pull off some improbable trade deadline acquisition). "Parity" would have it where the Blazers and Nuggets are legit contenders. They aren't. It's Curry, Kiwi, Lebron's league. Bucks (Giannis still needs a jumper) and Sixers might make some noise, but I think the title is the Clippers to lose. Paul George was quietly the RPM leader last year.

[ambchang]

Nope. The same few teams. Just that we have three clear favourites instead of one.

[Seventyniner]

The East is back to being irrelevant too. We're right back to the days of the WCF being the actual Finals.

Sure...but it’s always been that way. Elite players are elite. One of them them is always going to get a ring somewhere. Magic, Bird, Jordan, Duncan, Shaq. Even back to before then.

But we’re closer to that not happening than we’ve been in a while. Even if it doesn’t actually not happen.

Indeed. The NBA has never had parity. Whichever team has one (or more) of the top 5 players in the league, wins.

He said elite players, Cub. Kobe is not elite. We're talking Top 10 GOAT talent, not rapey chuckers no one liked and repayed the generosity of the stupid Buss kids by fucking that franchise straight dead.

I know it's been rough for you the last 7 years and you have no inclination to be honest about the present, but it is what it is. Your team is a laughing stock that a simple minded autist took for the biggest mind fucking ever right after your God, Rapey McFuckface, fucked yall raw and left you in the gutter to die.

God bless LBJ. He tried. A legit GOAT couldnt breathe life back into what your rapist did to your once beautiful franchise. Kobe killed the Lakers and his personal errand boy Pelinka is Kobe by extension. Years removed from playing and he's still fucking that carcass.

[Millennial_Messiah]

I agree with this thread. Feels more like the 2003-February 2008 era of the West being a dogfight between multiple contenders, rather than a foregone conclusion. (The 2012-2014 era was fairly similar out west, but we all knew the Heatles were making the Finals out East.) But since 2015 the NBA has been super boring because the ending has been pretty much a given since October. Also, I hope we'll see less "tank" games from contenders and stars playing 70, 75, 80 games, like in the 2000s, instead of the customary 60-65 which has become the new norm.

Definitely much less likely Spurs ring in 2014 without motivation from the loss of '13. The DPG were already on their way out. Yes Kawhi was turning star and they had an all-time great bench that year but, Duncan/Parker/Ginobili were just about done by '14.
