    He is great... At flopping and crying out for the refs. Even though he got fouled a few times for no calls I'm glad he didn't get them. Lord knows he gets his fair share of bullshit calls.

    When Lebron comes West this summer there won't be much of an East. Hell the NBA may not let Lebron go west.

    this ended exactly the way it should have. CP3 on the bench whining, and Harden jacking up bricks.

    Not that great. A whining baby who gets half his points from the free throw line.

    It's the Warriors and LeBron playing so well. Plus, injuries to Kawhi, Kevin, Kyrie, and CP3 have helped the Warriors through it all. Not their fault but has made things easier on him. If Boston and Houston had made it, which very nearly happened, would you still be complaining?

    Two Game 7s in the conference finals? Not boring at all.

    NBA has been this way for a long time. Usually a couple dominate teams. Many more dynasties or close to being dynasties in NBA history than other leagues. No matter how much the same finals over and over stinks, it doesn't seem to hurt the league. You still watched to this point even though you knew the outcome. The NBA is printing money these days.

    We don't know what is going to happen in the Finals. Could be one of the most exciting Finals of all time.

    I'm starting to think the 3 pt shot is bothering basketball...if they were all 2 pt shots we'd see a lot less chucking from deep...seems like the team hitting 3's can't lose.

    Yep. Not sure what BonesJones is saying when he says the NBA "killed (their) sport." The NBA is as successful as ever. 14 highly watched conference finals games. Tons of stars in the Finals. Will get great ratings. NBA doing great.

    That's what people said when GS was up 3-1 in 2016. We'll see. LeBron is better this year than he was last year.

    I am very, VERY proud to say I did not watch a second of the NBA playoffs except for a few minutes of the blazers games.

    Chris- tell me exactly what is going to happen, game by game. Then we have it on record and see if, in fact, "we" knew what was gonna happen.

    Predictability ruins any drama or excitement. Last year was the first season ever I didn't watch the Finals.....not even one game. This year will be the 2nd.

    Enough. Then why are you posting on a basketball message board?

    In my case as soon as the Blazers are out, it hasn't drawn me into watching many playoff games afterwards...sometimes I'll watch a quarter...it hasn't really entertained me the way it used to.
