I don't care about last years playoffs, I've said many times I think it was a fairly weak run to the championship. Seeding wise it was worst all time. And so far this playoffs all you're doing is beating the same Lakers team with Lebron even a year old. Not impressed yet, your run if you can make one starts now.
I just said it doesn't hurt to have hca and OKC's only chance would be to have it. Minnesota is a better matchup with Denver and doesn't necessarily need it in my opinion. I do not consider Dallas a serious contender because Luka isn't right and Kidd is the worst coach in the league. Clippers do not have a healthy Kawhi and it's 2-2, which is also why Clippers are not a serious contender in the long run they don't have a healthy Kawhi.
Not impressed with last year teams who were 100% more proven than this years young teams? You don't become jugernouts by winning 1 playoffs series after 20 years. It is on Minnesota and OKC to prove they belong with big boys, not on champs.
You got the Wolves with no Reid and no McDaniels, and Ant was 21, you got the Suns with Durant suffering an injury with what should have ended his season in March but he came back hobbled with old Chris Paul and playoff choker Booker, you got these same Lakers with 38 year old Lebron, and you got the Heat who's basically just Jimmy and a bunch of good defenders/3 point shooters. I'm not impressed and I'm not changing my mind. Win this one I will be impressed. Part of you should feel the same you want 1 championship or do you want a dynasty?
You're right these teams are unproven, so it should be no problem to win another one. Before last year what were the Nuggets? Unproven. You made the one WCF in the bubble but so. Dallas made the WCF in 2022 but no one calls them proven. Dallas and Clippers have both made the WCF but you're calling them unproven.
I believe the Warriors won one playoff series before going on to become a dynasty. So things can change.
What was Dallas doing last year since the West/NBA was so easy to win?
