Over the last 20 years of NBA hoops there's been a slow but steady movement towards more parity.....now 20 years later there are not 2 teams dominating everyone from the gate and everyone else playing for the bronze......there are legit teams in the small markets...we happen to be one of them and the path to the top has gotten much more difficult....a 1 seed isn't a given to sweep an 8 seed anymore at all. we've seen upsets all around and an injury or two can put a repeat championship team in the lottery like the Warriors...to me...basketball is more fun with increased competition..I'm loving watching new young teams play well like Charlotte and New Orleans.....nothing is a given which to me is a shoutout to the sport. Dynasties are boring.
