That's the nature of basketball. Convince more stars to jump to other conferences when they become free agents. And even then, Washington only makes things more difficult for Lebron, but they'd never have a serious chance of taking him down. Lebron is just that ****ing good right now. Kobe was NEVER this ****ing good. |

James would have lost if draymond wasn't suspended and ray Allen didn't make that shit. He is the biggest star inflator and overrated star I've seen Not to meantion he got shut down by marion and Lenard made him work |

Ahh, I guess when the other team has four of the top 10 players in the world, any defense doesn't matter? Thanks S Curry, KD, Draymond and Klay for contradicting that saying. |

There is no competitive balance in it whatsoever. Something needs to be done to create more balance in the league. The leagues owners, players union need to do some sort of rectifying or changes in the CBA to create more of a balanced competition. This is getting ridiculous. I mean, GS has won 10 in a row in the playoffs, Cavs 12 in a row, and they're sweeping everybody. What does this tell us? The rest of them can't compare nor compete with them. It's a message of a lack of competitive balance better yet so easy to predict who will be in the finals. Hello NBA makes some changes to this to please the fan base or to at least make things more fair. I'm getting bored of this stuff and as the days go by losing more and more interest watching basketball, |

Competitive balance has NEVER existed in modern professional basketball.
You have been able to accurately predict the teams who will be in the finals for decades... I remember Gatorade had a cap contest in the mid 90's (predicting the finals matchup and how many games it would take to win) and everyone including me at time wanted a Bulls in 6 over Sonics or Bulls in 7 over Sonics cap...guess what happened? The Lakers and Celtics dominated the 80's, and the 60's etc. |

Basketball has always been 2 or 3 teams that compete for a championship. It's nothing different than what it has always been.
80s - 8 of the 10 championships (two teams Lakers/Celtics) 90s - 8 of the 10 championships (two teams Bulls/Rockets) 00s - 7 of the 10 championships (two teams Lakers/Spurs) 6 players (LeBron, Jordan, Magic, Bird, Duncan, Kobe) have won 27 of the last 37 NBA titles. Throw in Hakeem and Isiah Thomas. Its 31 of 37. |
