Gonna be like 60s/80s again in the NBA

If in the past the Lakers always met the Celtics in the Finals during the Russell era then the Magic/Bird era, this decade we have OKC/Miami.

TBH why don't they just cancel the regular season and have those two skip to the Finals

Plus Stern doesn't have to worry about teams like the Spurs or the Kings having a real shot at the Finals

The Kings?

Except Durant, Harden, and Westbrick are chokers who got exposed, tbh.....

I think this is the start of a decade-long rivalry between the Heat and the Sonics. However, I don't think traditional powerhouses such as the Lakers, Celtics, and even Spurs would just sit there and watch a Heat/Sonics series every year.

TBH OKC would win five rings if they had a big who wasn't offensively challenged and they traded KD away.

It worked for the Lakers, right?

Calling it now: RC is scouting high school big men so he can pick a year to tank and draft that guy at no 1 again (see: 1987, 1997. You done goofed with Splitter in 2007).

And the Lakers are a spot up PG/or a wing with consistent offense to complement Kobe away from contention. Boston will build around Rondo.

Durant is hardly a choker bro. Dude is a clutch player beyond belief and still young as ! Westbrook is young still, but dumb as bricks although talented! I don't like Harden but also young and good.
