Oregon Is Faster
In ratings, excitement, and how many people are going to tune in and care?
I think 2 years ago there was intrigue about the league and Golden States Finals run was something everyone got on board to watch and wanted to see the Warriors win the title.
Last year I think the storyline was LeBron and Cleveland getting revenge, and again that Finals was extremely entertaining and exciting as the storyline was if LeBron would lose yet again or if Golden State would repeat with their 73-9 record. In the end the Cavaliers brought a title to a much needed city.
This year? The team that made it to the finals and fell short by choking a 3-1 series lead and had a 73-9 overall regular season record adds a top notch all-star to their already stacked roster.
The Cavaliers are the same team and the East is the East.
We are basically just waiting for June to get here so we can see if the Warriors move to get Durant was enough to beat the Cavaliers in the Finals.
I know we are only a few games into a 82 game season, but so far I have zero interest in the NBA this year. Also, I am not sure if I am just utterly sports drained from the amazing story that was this MLB World Series that I have zero interest in the NBA, but I just feel like this years storylines are sorta lame. 73-9 team got better, the Cavs are the Cavs, we will see them in June.
IMO, the NBA is loaded with just 3 elite teams, Spurs, Warriors, Cavaliers. Spurs will have a remarkable regular season where they quietly have one of the best records in the NBA, then fall short somewhere in the playoffs due to their aging roster.
We already know the final chapter of this season. We are all just waiting for the last sentence.
