Why does no one want a cavs-warriors final?

Are the warriors the nba equivalent of the patriots?

Lebron fucking James has been in the finals every year since 20 goddamn 11. It's less Cavs-Warriors, and more I'm fucking sick of his bitch ass in the finals.

Though Cavs-Warriors is a close second reason. No one wants the same finals match-up for a fourth effing time in a row.

Maybe he's just a pretty good player

Ha! He's nothing but a whiny bitch who latches onto winning teams. Ran off to Miami when he couldn't win in Cleveland, then ran back to Cleveland when they quit winning and acted like he never left. Just watch. If Cleveland gets bounced before the finals or loses the finals, his whiny ass will be on the next to train to whatever team looks successful next.

Still a 14-time all star though.

Yippee for him. I don't care.

Well, Boston played like they have all year on the road. But the rest of the series is back at The Garden. So I'm not giving up hope.

Well game 5 is, but won't game 6 be in Cleveland?

Because no one wants to see the Cavs lose over and over again.

For your second statement. In a way yeah, but the patriots are more ofnlike the 1999-2017 Spurs.

...Oh, I know you didn't just compare my Spurs to those chucklefucks called the Patriots. Thems fighting words.

I'm just sick of seeing the same dang thing every dang year. I would complain just as hard if the Super Bowl featured the same matchup every year. It's repetitive and boring and takes a lot of the fun out of watching the NBA.

I think it's mainly just a matter of a lot of success sustained over a long period of time. So as much as I also hate the Patriots, it's a compliment nonetheless.

I pretty much like Basketball, and just recently watched some football, I got to enjoy it and was enamoured by the success of the Patriots(I'm a spurs fan and the two teams are sometimes compared because of their sucesses).But, as I soon discovered, many NFL fans hate the Pats, I was confused of course.

But I also thought that in basketball, veteran fans seem to have a more broad idea of teams, hence why many fans hate GSW and Cavs.But many new fans like them a lot. That may be the reason of conflicting interests.

Plus different people choose who they like differently. For a lot of people, their cheering is geographically based, which means certain rivals will be hated regardless of skill level.

Some people are drawn to the skilled teams who have a lot of success, which is fine, though they risk being accused of "bandwagoning." Which is often a fair argument.

Personally, when OKC isn't playing, I cheer for the underdog. I like upsets (and I get bored when they don't happen). I dislike LeBron and the Cavs, even though I have to admit that they're really really good. The same thing happens in every sport. When one team (or in this case two teams) wins a lot, they're more likely to be hated by fans of all the other teams.

Did I just watch the Rockets turn a 11-point hole into a 7-point lead?

The bearded one has come to save us from those golden enemy!

Why did he opt for steph (a girls name) rather than the more normal 'steve?'

Is Zhou Qi unpopular or just not very good?

He is too skinny to be great down in the low post.In other words, he doesn't have the strength to push back opposing big men.

Hooray for a tied series!

Its still gonna be the Western Conference Champion who will win the NBA Finals.

For fucks sake, I need to start going to sleep early more often, when I turn off because I'm tired at about 4 AM the rockets go on to win.

Freaking Survivor finale. I missed the entire game.
