      When Lebron is in the playoffs, he sucks all the air out of the room. He’s an all time great player, but you don’t hear about other teams or situations as much because all anyone talks about is LBJ. The game is much more interesting when you have 4 or 5 teams as contenders battling hard for a common attainable goal, than LBJ and the Warriors running through everyone.

But down the road, will we remember them fondly? Like the 90s bulls Or 01 lakers? Or will we look back on this as a bit of a dark time in NBA history? Would love your take.

    3. They do both 1 and 2

      If you look at nba history, there has never been any parity in the nba. Since 2000, lebron, kobe, and Duncan have been in almost every nba finals. The only year none of the 3 was in the finals was 2006, but 06 finals had shaq, Wade and dirk

      You can only beat who you have to beat.

These things happen and "what ifs" benefit us not. Just ask the '19 Rockets.

      Interesting gws vs Houston didnt win by more than 6 points. Kd going down leaving the warriors with the main core.
      The blazers vs nuggets was a even series and reaching 7.
      While on the easy surprises on game one for Raptors and philly but ended in 5. The nets and philly scuffles made it interesting wish they allowed more thrash talk.
      Celtics and bucks sweep.
