Injuries suck more. This was looking like a fun series until Leonard went down. Part of why it's fun is because it's a super team and the chance they could lose. Super teams are great for the NBA even though they suck for the hardcore fan bases of other teams.

Worst playoffs ever.

I'm not even watching the game.

Ehh, the championship should be epic, will make up for it.

To wait the whole season for only one interesting series? Meh.

Playoffs should be about competition.

Maybe.
Or maybe the finals will suck too

lost interest .. might watch the first couple of games of the finals and see what that looks like.

Cavs have no rim protection and Kyrie Irving is a huge liability. They'll start with Shumpert and put him on IT, while hiding Irving on Bradley/Smart. Thomas will score vs Cavs.

And how will the Celts hide Thomas who's the biggest liability at point guard in the NBA?

I stopped watching as soon as the Jazz got knocked out. Every team has been injured v. the Warriors and all this 4-0s will look bad ont he league IMO. Especially if the finals go 4-0

I don't know how they do it but so far they have been able to do it and it has worked to the tune of 50+ wins, #1 seed, and conference finals appearance.

I think the Finals will be Warriors in 5 games.

Again, the GSW situation has just proved that the Luxury Tax situation isn't working. A team flushed with money is not going to be deterred by the Luxury tax if it meant it can keep winning and selling out the arena for the next 5-10 years.


I'm more convinced than ever that we really do need to re-look at the hard cap and of course that can go up as the League makes more money, but there should be a cap at some point where you CANNOT keep 4 All Stars together forever and ever and a day.

There's probably 29 owners thinking the same thing. The Warriors being this dominant is just bad for the NBA. Cleveland has no shot against them this year.
