Warriors will win the series at one game and then their plane will crash, killing everyone involved in the organization. Everyone in the world will feel sorta bad and give the Finals to them and then the NBA will be free to pursue parity once and for all.

Also this was pages ago but I'd like to give this a 'hell yeah'. Last week I did up serious eats Texas Chili recipe and it was unreal.

So uh... Basketball. Warriors in six. But if they lose I'm gonna try a fancy cupcake recipe.

Remember when there was a team touted by some as the GREATEST TEAM OF ALL TIME!!!! and Cleveland beat them in the finals?

Yeah, Lebron is like Tom Brady.

And you never.

NEVER.

Count out Touchdown Tom.

Yeah. Unfortunately, they added Kevin Durant and he is playing better in the playoffs than he did in the regular season for once (sorry Metapod) and I fear the Cavs defense is going to implode in dramatic fashion

who's excited for next years finals when we will most likely have the same 2 teams playing for the the fourth time in a row?

i mean, sure parity is overrated, but the same finals 4x in a row is loving joke. hell, the same finals 3x in a row is a loving joke

this is the first time in league history its been the same 2 teams 3x in a row

? fandom invalidates the reality that two teams have now gone to the finals in a row more than any other teams in history and will most likely continue doing so next year?

i've been a fan of the spurs since before tim duncan was on the team, not because they were winning a bunch

I like to wonder how many in a row we may get. Lebron is 32, can probably dominate for 2 more years at least, plus Kyrie is going into his prime and Love is younger than Lebron. So 5-6 from the Cavs. The Warriors have the harder route but also the better team. Unless the Rockets/Thunder/Spurs can add another key piece they aren't likely to overtake a healthy Warriors team as long as nothing crazy happens with Curry/KD this offseason.

tldr; enjoy your quintuplogy

the warriors would have the harder route if they hadnt gutted the 2nd best team in their conference and also only play against injured teams, maybe

I think it's cool because the Finals become a series within a series. If they go five straight times that's a best of five series and whoever has the edge would pretty definitively be the best team of this era.

Unironically me. They are the 2 best teams right now and it kicks rear end when they play each other and ever series should be 40 games between them,
