Congratulations NBA, you guys have effectively killed your sport. You guys have made the regular season pointless, and the first 3 rounds of the playoffs a runner-up contest.
You have effectively made a die-hard basketball fan who doesn't watch hockey more interested in the Stanley Cup Finals than you're crappy championship.
No parity, all repetition. Why don't we make the Cavaliers and Warriors play 15 seven-game series all year and have the other 28 teams compete for a runner-up championship? And then afterwards, maybe we can do a fantasy draft so that there can be more than two teams vying for the championship? That last 6 years, it's LeBron vs. Curry, or LeBron vs. Duncan.
In the NHL, an expansion team made the finals.
Fix your goddamn league.
