After seeing Miami get obliterated by the Cavs, makes me glad the Bulls lost the play in early so we wouldn't have to suffer through that waste of time lol
Rockets/Warriors has been a fun series so far
I'm sure Nico Harrison is rooting hard for Minnesota right now

Possible repeat of 2023 with the #6 and #7 seeds in the West both advancing.

I like parity and I like "new" teams in the Finals.
I don't need to see LA vs Boston every year.
Or LeBron vs whoever every year.
I know the NBA national media is god awful and clamors for it every single season and by extension the fans seem to want that (or they just want two top tier superstars playing against each other).
The NBA landscape has also changed in such a way that what used to be solid for making the Finals in the old days isn't really a thing right now. Superstars aren't as collected and the ones that are there many are on weak teams.
The Lakers have two superstars and are about to be bounced in the 1st. The Bucks have had Giannis and they have been on a slide since winning the title in 2021.
Tatum is a weak superstar. Curry is old, LeBron is old. Embiid is broken. Jokic IS the Nuggets...and even then he seems to care more about his horses than playing basketball.
The new young guy on the block is SGA, but no one seems excited about him.

OKC vs CLE? Yes I will.
I haven't missed an entire NBA Finals since 1994, because I didn't watch basketball in 1994.

maybe if they get lebron another top 10 player or two on the roster to play with, then they can make it to the 2nd round!

The NBA makes it very hard to enjoy the game these days.
